Finally Got to Try on a GMT!

[Feseroni]

My AD keeps a pretty good stock of watches including several daytonas. Anyway, long story short I visited my AD this past saturday and I was able to compare all SS GMTs in person. This is my personal preference in terms of looks (all in Jubilee): 1) BLNR; 2) VTNR; 3) BLRO; 4) GRNR

I think both blue/black and green/black work the best on the GMT.

Agree. Having a good amount of body hair is a pre-req for a Bluesy.

There is a hierarchy in place amongst ADs. Not all are equal. For instance, some ADs must have 24 exhibition watches at all times. Others must have 40. The higher the AD’s tier, the more watches they must display, and the more inventory they get delivered. Therefore, it’s reasonable to assume that delivery schedules might vary, as well. Remember that the ADs must pay for those watches prior to delivery, so maybe smaller ADs get deliveries less often. I doubt my SA lied to me, though I suppose it’s certainly possible.

Been a member since 2012 and have never tried on a GMT? BLNR was released in 2013, too bad you decided so late that you wanted one. Better late than never. I wouldn’t settle for the GRNR, if you liked it in person after slamming it just think how much nicer the BLNR will be once you actually see it.

Not all of them. Some are monthly

That is a very good point! I figure my odds are better to get the GRNR. Realistically, I probably won’t be offered either.

That was scary. He showed real interest, for the very first time, in wearing a Rolex. He told my SA to put it on my list of watches I want. He also picked out a 41 slate dial Datejust, fluted on Oyster, and told her to add that to the list. I also added a blue dial Datejust 36, fluted on Jubilee. Now we’re in trouble. While playing with the watches, I asked about possible delivery time for my Explorer, and was told they are expecting a delivery within a few weeks. This surprised me, because I assumed they got deliveries weekly, which is not true, at least at my AD. I could see me and my husband sharing the GMT, or maybe he was just playing around to freak me out. He also tried on the blue dial bimetal Sub:



He realized, though, that his business has him working with a lot of questionable characters, a lot of the time, where he feared it would not be safe to wear it. He’d prefer a less noticeable watch, like the 2 he added to my want list. It was fun to see him show interest in Rolex, I think…….

A friend of mine recently picked up GRNR on jubilee and when the light hits it, the grey really pops and is gorgeous, and then in darker lighting it's super classy and looks more like an all black bezel. I love it.

I am on the list for it. We will see what happens.

I'm not a patient person and when my AD indicated it could take years to get a GMT I ended up going grey for my BLNR. Love it!

Looks good! That GMT jubliee is just sublime in person. Was always an oyster fan until I felt that bracelet in person.
