Love it, but I still like the BLNR a bit more. The grey black is a really solid one watch option.

For the love of all that is holy, can we stop trying to force names onto every release?!?

(shaking fist at the sky)

That said, assuming you’re talking abt the black and gray GMT, I’m a huge fan.

That would have put it on my radar.

EDIT: Oops went back to check and I see it's an option. Well, then...
I have the GRNR and I think you will really like it. Love mine outdoors.

I love it but I tend to prefer more understated watches.

Boring. I would have preferred a return of the all black bezel.

I do wish the text was blue, grey or even white over the green though. If you are going to go green, go big.

I can't say I'm excited but I'm not offended.

I would have preferred a red/black bezel like they did before

I’m going to call this GMT the “Undertaker”. Not a fan of the color scheme.

Nothing great but should help cool the GMT overs market now, everyone goes for the new hot watch whilst it isn't nicer than the other options.

Pepsi should come back to reality. No coke for a wee while it seems

It’s nice but I still think the BLNR is the best of the SS GMTs

Completely agree. The SS is just shy of being sporty but also doesn't have that vintage dressy feel.

I really like it, cool, understated and under the radar. Definitely not for the hype brigade or Johnny come latelys. I even like the the green second hour marker, a nice throw back to the original.

I agree, the BB Coke is the only new model I would potentially buy. There is interest in stealth monochrome variants for which the the new black/grey GMT-II might appeal to, however I would have done a different 24h hand color just for something new as it's too close to the original LN GMT.

Pretty much a snoozefest. A steel Griner was definitely a parts bin special like Driver8 said.

I was blown away when I saw it. Really, really like it.

But then it occurred to me... it's nearly identical to the GMT II LN I already own.

Well, no wonder I think it's terrific. Yet still like my LN better.
