this is the other post (another forum) that steve is reffering to:

" and now the truth guys...
I bought this watch with the help of a reknowed greek collector.
There are very limited pieces that came to greece and will be sold only to special customers like him. At first I did not want to buy it because I could not afford it. My SS sub costed me only 2500 euros and is 1 year old with box and papers, D series mint condition. Do you think that this new watch worths more than double of what I paid for my sub??? I don't think so. Anyways, me and my friend bought two GMTs and the deal is that if I don't want it after a week he will buy it from me at the same price. Something that is very likely to happen. I am sure I could buy it so much cheaper in a year from now. Plus with 5500 euros I could buy a TT blue sub BNIB Z series plus 20 bottles of expensive wine..for me this is a much better deal! "

We're dropping by the AD to readjust my wife's watch bracelet and I will check on the status of the new GMT too.

Blue Bull · 19 May 2007, 04:12 AM

Very nice watch !!

Just three critisisms:
Red not green on the 24h hand
Numbering on the bezel too large
Polished centrelinks ~ fingermarks and scratching.

Edensknight · 19 May 2007, 04:35 AM

Beautiful! Great pics! Love the all new Special Edition GMT II in SS! Enjoy!

JJ Irani · 19 May 2007, 05:03 AM

Congrats, pal....the first guy to get the new SS GMT-II. Amazing looking watch!! My AD has received one....must check it out soon.

Is that a Z-series?

Cheers - JJ

Hi guys. First impressions:
Having owned SS sub date, LV, TT blue sub, TT date just, and SD in the past, I must say that the new GMT is a big change in the traditional rolex line. The bezel is just so wierd looking and the numbers on it too big. I LOVE the case. The watch sits perfectly on the wrist and I am almost sure that it will attract people that are devoted to other brands such as panerai and IWC.
I actually think that this is the main reason that Rolex changed the case of the gmt. It looks much bigger than 40mm, I don't know why. Solid, thick, perfect. The new crown is also excellent. The green accent is just stupid, no reason to change the traditional red gmt hand. The polished links are out of the way and make it look like a yachtmaster. Maxi dial is fine. I would love this watch if the bezel writing was smaller, the bracelet brushed and the gmt hand red.
In sum I don't think it worths the extra money. A year from now we will be able to get it with a big discount. I hope they will make the 2008 subs with that case without touching anything else except maybe for the dial.
More to come later

D4UK · 19 May 2007, 07:08 AM

looking good.. still waiting to hear when we will see them in the UK....
I ordered mine the day it was announced...

JJ Irani · 19 May 2007, 07:08 AM

Great update, thanks!!

sub2004 · 19 May 2007, 07:24 AM

Hi

Congratulations friend.

As i said in my post, this lot of watches have that side microship sticker. Pretty cool.

Very good pictures. At the AD i couldnt take pictures so had to just write about.

I would recommend keeping it, its very beautiful.

KJacques · 19 May 2007, 07:34 AM

I'm very ambivalent about this watch. I really wanted to like the ceramic bezel, but honestly, it makes the watch look to busy for me with those larger numerals. That part I really dislike.

I do like the larger looking case, the triplock crown

and can deal with the polished inner links even though they'll scratch in the type of normal wear I'd give it. The price tho?

I would rather have the last generation GMT with the red hand and change out the bezel depening on my mood. I am not loving the general direction that Rolex is taking and I have no lust for any of these new models.

Kevin

kingblackbolt · 19 May 2007, 07:36 AM

That is a gorgeous watch but you are right it's worth waiting a half year to full year and get a discount!

Spencer · 19 May 2007, 07:43 AM

Congrats! Looks great.

mike · 19 May 2007, 07:59 AM

Congrats!

That watch is going to be a big hit with customers.

marshallr47 · 19 May 2007, 08:25 AM

Congrats on such a beautiful watch. Wear it with pride.

alexcord · 19 May 2007, 08:34 AM

So now we have seen real world photos (ie not studio) what is the verdict on the new GMT II? I am first on the waiting list with my AD but can't help but be torn between the old and the new!

What do you guys think?

Rubenonfire · 19 May 2007, 10:04 AM

Congrats!! Looks MUCH better on the wrist than in the promo pictures, etc. that I've seen, but the features that I dislike are still there. Maxi dial, large numbers on a ceramic bezel, and that green GMT hand. That being said, I'm much less bothered by the polished center link than I thought I would be. It doesn't appear over the top at all.
