Got the call - New GMT

Very happy with my new acquisition. Registered with the AD a few months ago with no prior purchase history and collected this week. I suspect the speed is a combination of selling close to list (or below) on the secondhand market and generally less sought after. Nevertheless stunning in person and my new favourite.



Goes well with my other GMTs too!

Thank you

I have only had the GRNR for a matter of days and it is a visually stunning watch. It will draw a lot of attention and so will have to be mindful when and where to wear it!

As for comparing it with the CHNR, it is a difficult one - sometimes I feel that it does not look great and other times absolutely stunning. I think this may, in part, be due to the oyster bracelet, which does not do justice to the bezel colourway. The BLRO (and probably the GRNR) look consistently good with the jubilee. It does not help that I cannot seem to take a good photo of the CHNR. Obviously, I am fortunate to have both and do think both the CHNR and GRNR are different enough to have in your collection. CHNR for the winter/autumn and GRNR for spring summer.

I would love the Meteorite and VTNR, even though I would start to become too GMT heavy.

Is it safe to say you like GMT's?

You need to get the meteorite next

Congratulations!

That is a great score. You are in a ideal situation to compare it to the CHNR.

Great GMTs collection!

I saw both TT GMTs side by side, both of them are equally gorgeous.

Huge Congrats!

Great pickup! Got mine from my AD last June and it quickly became one of my favorites in my collection.

Nice GMT combo. Get a 16710 and a meteorite and you’ll be GMT King.

I love the two tone Jubilee bracelet. It's a beautiful watch and fits perfectly in your GMT trifecta. Congrats!
