Throwing my hat into the ring

What ring is that...the naming of the new GMT....going with GMT Zombie (I do realize that some people call the two tone GRNR the Zombie but for me that's the Guinness and the stainless steel the Zombie)

Why Zombie, because sadly after visiting W&W my initial impressions of the watch gained from photos were justified...

The watch is pale, grey and devoid of life and color....just like a Zombie...plain, dull and quite boring...however just like a Zombie no matter how fast you run away from one it will still eventually catch you and in this case the bite is when after calling it dull you still extract your credit card and buy one

Oh and as for the green splash of color that corresponds to the gunk that comes out of a Zombie when you stomp on its head 😆

Ok enough of this nonsense...here are some pics...I added a Pic of a pepsi/batman combo to give some contrast when it comes to color vs no color...sorry for the so so pics but a lot of reflection to deal with...

If I could name it, it’d be the Club Soda or Gordon’s & Tonic.. or Gin,

The G&T GMT.

We have me to blame for naming the Guinness and the SD43 too, so I’m not going to push this one!

I know some find the GRNR a bit dull next to the newer GMTs but when I see the purple cranberry Pepsi there I don't think it is half as bad.

Lol, I quite like your "Zombie" name reasoning. I'm not backing any nicknames tho, lol. I far prefer reference numbers.

The watch looks awesome in the TT or full goid, not a fan on the steel at all.

Yep, a club soda with lime. Soda Lime GMT.

It’d be great if GMT names were drinks. Superheroes for subs.
