GMTII Choice

[piratfisk]

I think I'd enjoy a RHD VTNR. Couldn't do a lefty, though. BLNR for me since that actually exists.

[Roo]

No mention of the LN?

Surprising how little love the VTNR gets on here.

[Mr. Drunmond]

In a one or two watch collection, BLNR. Is better everyday.

If you have a variety of pieces, BLRO for some color pop in the box.

[favx]

Pepsi!!

[Cru Jones]

GRNR for me please.

Well and a WG BLRO with blue dial.

And I’ll take a CHNR too!

:-)

Why? It’s not right

Way more owners of Batman Pepsi protecting their watch, fewer VTNR owners leads to fewer votes.

Exactly this. My AD said he doesn’t receive many Sprites in comparison to the BLNR. If I remember correctly, he said he gets about 3-4 a year. They’re really not that common. Have a feeling it’s going away real soon so had to get one fast. Really enjoy mine!

BLNR on Oyster for me - the bezel colours are just done right IMO.


As far as the others go -

BLRO bezel colours are hit and miss (and generally more 'miss' for me), hence why I turned one down from my AD.

VTNR - colours are great, but the left-hand set up (and especially the date window) just looks weird.

CHNR is a good looking piece, but not the most versatile and I'm not big on TT.

GRNR - again, not big on TT and the grey looks washed out to me.

Coke (RONR?) - If it gets made, and IF (and this is a big IF) the bezel colours are done well, it could be right up there, either equalling or even surpassing, the BLNR in my book.

It's funny looking ol' thing though (unless it's worn on the right wrist, and then it looks OK).

WG Pepsi with a Blue Dial.

Re VTNR.

I once owned a left-handed shotgun. It was unusual and therefore harder to sell. Eventually, I just ended up learning to shoot “right.” I was RE dominant anyway.

I like the VTNR colors, but I would be much more interested if it were offered righty.

Prices seem to have stabilized recently, however. Dream introductions at W&W this year would be Coke and Sprite-right. I notice a lotta sprite ladder-uppers hoping for it’s demise. Lol

Surprised Coke didn’t rate as well in poll.

[Yobber76]

Coke. I have a BLNR and a VTNR.

Not surprising to see BLRO followed by BLNR. And despite the relatively small sample size, this poll seems like a fair indication of how demand settles if Rolex were to introduce a “Coke” GMT, after the initial frenzy wears off (similar to the VTNR, which despite being a cool and unique model, appears to be seeing waning interest).

Although the online renderings of a new, modern “Coke” GMT do look sharp!

Also not surprised by the GRNR ranking in this poll. This version is Rolex’s answer to a problem that didn’t exist. Upon launch, customers/enthusiasts were enamored with 1. the jubilee bracelet, and 2. the different bezel color. But there doesn’t appear to be as strong a sustained pull to this model as there is for the CHNR. And I’m not sure the GMT line needs two different two-tone versions.

Seems Rolex could have introduced a jubilee option for the CHNR instead, which likely would have been a more popular option.

This is intriguing with GMT availability: Now there are no new BLNR at our trusted sellers but 2 new 2024 NIB BLRO. Tony and Than have stickered unsized BLRO 2024 cards. So that would seem to indicate release of monthly GMT productions from Rolex is kinda normal. Last month it was BLNR and this month it seems new BLRO is arriving.

This is interesting. We'll have to see if the BLRO arrivals continue.

Blro leading the poll by miles

[jacowestt]

That’s a tough call, but if I had the chance to walk into an AD and choose any GMT, I’d probably go for the classic Pepsi. It’s the ultimate icon in the GMT lineup and just has that perfect balance of bold and timeless. That said, if Rolex ever brings back the Coke, that red and black combo would be hard to resist—especially with its history tied to the 16710. It’d be a tough decision, but right now, the Pepsi edges it out for me!

[B2 Stealth]

The original and all time classic. The historical aviation and military watch. Nothing will ever surpass the BLRO. Everytime I wore my CHNR or BLNR I would miss the BLRO. Selling both solved that issue.

[consumerignorance]

Pepsi on Jubilee and Rootbeer are the only GMTs that appeal to me. I don’t think I’m alone.

[JRell]

BLNR on jubilee all day long. Love this watch.

[MarioB83]

One of each?

Get the full gold one. Incredibly versatile. Colors aren’t in your face and the brown goes with everything (there is a reason khaki pants are classic)

I feel the same way about the BLRO. Not interested in any other color combinations.
