Picked up my steel GRNR today

I got the text from my AD this morning informing me that my steel GRNR on Oyster had arrived. I was excited all day and took off a bit early from work to pick it up. Early impression is that this is a cool and subtle piece, especially compared with my Batgirl. Now I just need a Pepsi to complete the set of steel GMTs.

This is a reference that I didn’t love when introduced, but the more I see it, the more I think it’s just amazing.

The green GMT hand is just perfect on this watch and makes it more special than it already is!

Congrats

Congratulations OP! Great combination choice too.

To the above comment - same, but when you try it on, everything changes.

You’ll need a Sprite as well to complete the steel collection

I'm really starting to like this piece as well. I have a GMT BLNR but this seems like a nice compliment.

Great watch, bezel gives some low key life to the top side

Congratulations. I personally prefer that GMT.

It flies under the radar due to the bezel colors.

I saw this watch in Tokyo and have to say i'm super impressed! stunningly beautiful, which i didn't see online from the Rolex website initially.

Well done. 100% great buy!

That's incredible! The GRNR on Oyster is such a classy, under-the-radar addition to your collection. It complements the Batgirl perfectly. Now, getting that Pepsi would really round things out—one step closer to the ultimate GMT trio!

Congrats!! I’m waiting for the same one it’s a killer in the metal.

How do you find it compares to your BLNR on jubilee side by side? I feel like they are different enough to have both in a collection. Now that you own both would love to hear your impressions!
