I do think they’ll bounce as I think they’ll be stopped in March, but it’s still a big premium in the grey market which is where I am.

Rootbeer has dropped under £30k but the meteorite is still low £40s I think.

If you’d like to save a bundle, may I suggest buying the blue dial 116719BLRO and source an after market meteorite dial?

My favourite GMT. Gives you the BLRO colors you love combined with the special feel of PM. WG wears and feels just as special as RG and YG.

This is another great option.

Yup. You’ll find them on eBay and otherwise on line. Not sure of the quality, however.

Interestingly, if you hadn't said, I think most people would have thought that it was a black dial in your picture.

I think that is the black dial version of the WG BLRO in 116719. This was the first variation of the WG GMT....then it came along in the SS.

You are right. There is no between SWISS and MADE, so it is a 116 generation.

I didn't know these exist. I guess these are pretty rare!

Update to the thread.

Made the switch, not looking back. From CHNR Rose to BLRO White Gold.



Now have an every day watch, and I will wear it EVERYDAY!

Love it Travis, that’s one of the very best stealth watches out there IMHO.

Glad you still have it and enjoy it.

Wow, what a great choice. Sometimes we try new things (CHNR) and there is something missing. The CHNR is incredible, but when you keep going back to this one, its a sign that you need to make the move! I get it, congratulations, I am sure you will not stop staring at it.
