AD got the new GMT for exhibition. It’s not as bad as I thought…

For me it looks great

Certain members, Myself included, are quite amazed and disgusted that a company like Rolex who know very well that there is a problem with a variety of their movements after all this time still have not rectified the problem.

It shows that Rolex are totally uninterested with their consumers and are purely interested in making money.

In almost any other industry the company creating faulty products would attempt to rectify the situation. Rolex have done no such thing and show no signs of wanting to.

Because they are one of the worlds best known brand names they just take an attitude of "sod you .. Ill do as I please".

The real question is ...

Why don't certain members, who profess to know so much about watches and Rolex especially, "slag" off the 32xx movements at every opportunity as by now they also know full well that there is a problem.

Denial does not make things go away. Fixing things makes complaints go away !

But this thread wasn’t about that was it. I believe that’s the point Peter was trying to make

Like a dog urinating on every fence post. They have to piss on every happy Rolex experience they encounter.

I comment on Rolex and their current movements.

I still have my older Rolex watches that have 31xx movements and they are excellent timekeepers and I only praise them.

+1 for boring... 100% boring. especially on oyster.

And that’s all well and good, but why bring up the 32xx movement when the whole point of the thread is discussing the aesthetics of the GRNR?

Would you make a 32xx movement comment on an incoming thread?

We already have a thread to discuss the movement issues.

It’s just poor form IMHO

[worldofoyster]

not bad, not that great

[ArtNouveau]

I saw the GRNR recently in Las Vegas. The bezel insert is “brighter” in person and looks good on both the SS and tutone versions. I won’t be replacing my BLRO with it but if I was looking for a more subtle presence it might be the one.
I think the brighter colored models will still be more in demand but the GRNR will have irs following.

No. You comment on threads about watches you don't even like, threads that don't pertain to you in the slightest, just for the chance to piss on it with your 32XX propaganda. That is pathetic. It would be like me commenting on every 31XX related post to complain about its crap power reserve, or every DJ36 post to complain about 36mm being to small.

I have now had ten 32XX movements since 2018 and they have all performed equally as well, if not better than, the eight 31Xx movements I had before them. Every Rolex I have had has been an accurate and dependable companion. I don't see your grand conspiracy, and either do any other 32xx Rolex owners I know.

Congratulations. That’s good. (For Rolex’s profits)

[kwingy]

I love the green on the original but hate it on this new model. If they kept the text all white with a silver/grey arrow - would have looked a lot better IMO.

Have to agree but some cannot help themselves unless they bash the 32 series movements at every opportunity.

I think the full gold and two tone versions of the "smoke" GMT that they released last year (?) look really nice. The steel to me feels like something that was somewhat lazily thrown together just for the sake of generating a new release. JMO

Maybe we all need thicker skin around here. Both the people piling on the 32xx movements and the people who are offended by the people piling on 32xx movements

As they say after all…all is fair in love, war and luxury watch bashing

[jb335]

Really nice new GMT. As others have said, I won’t be replacing my BLNR with this but I get the appeal. It’s a well done watch.

And not to mention a solid 32 movement inside! Love it

My SA brought out both the oyster and the jubilee for me to contemplate this past weekend. Pictures don’t do it justice, it presents much better in person. One might even consider it classy with the jubilee bracelet.

[thesharkfactor]

Nothing special, no wow factor. I remember the 1st time I saw a BLNR or BLRO, those were stuning. That's just bland.

Frankly even leaving aside their issues like brittleness I find that the hyper-shiny look and oversized numbers looks quite naff.

[matthew P]

I like it.
If they ever skinny up the lugs like the new sub I’d be interested.

I beg to differ.
In a small manufacturing outfit where a faulty product could mean the demise of said company. Yes they would try and rectify the situation, however, in an industrial setting. Absolutely not.

I learned this the hard way about 40 years ago.
While there are proud individuals(insert me here)within a large company that see an issue, and would like to correct it, there are also levelheaded forward thinking accounting people, CEOs, and owners whose decisions take priority over the proud minority.
You do not throw a wrench into the cogs of a money printing machine!

The Corporate attitude is a few individuals may complain and even send a product back when there is an issue, however, the majority of people won’t notice, or will simply overlook the problem. If you happen to have a few items come back, fix them, replace them if push comes to shove, then move on. We’ll correct it at the next phase of R&D, if it’s profitable.

Agree with this. This thread is about the OP’s reaction to the new GMT released at Basel, and his opportunity to see it IRL, try it on, and give us his impressions. Personally, I like it. It’s understated, so more elegant than the more colorful GMTs. I hope to see it soon.

Imo the green 24 hr hand doesn’t go well with it. I think an all WG 24 hr hand would have gone better with the gray ceramic, like what they did with the chnr and an all RG hand.

[milgauss2232]

I just can’t wrap my head around a grey half bezel.. I think I’ll keep trying to wipe it if I got one

[Joearch]

Looking forward to having this in a few years. Subtle yet elegant. Plenty of color in other references.
If you don’t like it, don’t buy one. If you like it, get in line now.

[Carguy87]

I really like this on Oyster; a nice and more subdued complement to my BLNR on jubilee methinks….especially if I brushed the PCL’s. If I could only choose one I’d keep my BLNR, but if I’m gonna own two SS Rolex GMT’s I’d be happy to make this one of them.

The grail trio of GMT’s would include a meteorite Pepsi obviously lol.

Just exhibition only, it’s a working model that will end up being sold. They just have to have a certain number of watches ant one time for exhibition only.
