Wow those are stunning! Great pickup man

Marrk · 13 June 2013, 04:37 AM

Pretty cool.

The two-tone bezel GMTc is going to be a popular item.

77T · 13 June 2013, 04:41 AM

Blue like the sky for daylight hours,
Black as pitch for nighttime hours.

Brilliant!

RolexBuckeye · 13 June 2013, 04:43 AM

I like it!

TAKUYA · 13 June 2013, 04:50 AM

Congrats! More wrist shots or pics of the watch.

Completely disagree. Have a Deepsea too and wouldn't buy this watch if it got bigger. 40mm is the perfect size now and when I'm an old(er) man, can guarantee that I won't be wearing a Deepsea in my 60's if I make it there, but I'd sure wear this.

I agree!

I agree with Rashid that this isn't too small. I'm not sure how big the OP's wrist is, but the photo does make the watch look small. However, I think 40mm is a good size. Not all of us have giant wrists and can pull off a DSSD. Having said that, I can't deny the trend towards bigger watchers. I have 44mm watches and can't stand to wear them now because I think they look obscene.

mikkemus23 · 14 June 2013, 04:59 AM

Love it, beautiful! Very nice pick up - congrats!

Macnavara · 13 June 2013, 05:01 AM

Ive owned loads of gmts.....just wish they would make it a tad larger....i flipped em all and bought a dssd which i love.....until of course rolex cave in and produce a larger (hopefully pepsi)gmt.
Do love the black blue combo though

bottom of the ninth · 13 June 2013, 05:14 AM

Very Nice! Enjoy!

Macnavara · 13 June 2013, 05:28 AM

Just feel that 40mm is a bit girly....and i get the feeling that 99% of present owners are also worried about residuals should 42 mm make an entrance.
I think if rolex had released the sub 42 mm instead of the explorer we would have seen a much more positive take up on the size.
I remember getting my 1st rolex an explorer 1 and thinking it was massive....guess fashion and tastes change...

76.31% of all statistics are made up (you just proved the point)

40mm is the perfect size for anyone who happens to be large but doesn't want a giant wall clock strapped to their wrists. Rolex recently did revamp the Sub only 3 years ago and chose NOT to go 42mm for a very good reason. It's a classic and always will be. The Daytona has also gone through a recent refresh and they have kept the same size.

While I'm ok with anything up to 45mm (which is pretty big IMO), anything above that is just being silly. I have seen people wondering around with what must be +60mm watches that are +25mm thick and I honestly don't understand how they fit them under their sleeves?

I don't think we're in any danger of the "wall clock wrist watch" taking hold, not unless people start getting a hell of a lot bigger all of a sudden..

You lost me with the 'girly' comment, big guy. Some of us prefer not to drive muscle cars, wear leather and sport big watches.

Congrats on your new watch, OP.

mbuckley · 13 June 2013, 05:35 AM

Lovely watch---just a beauty

stevedssd · 13 June 2013, 05:37 AM

Congratulations, it looks good in the photos. But I have to see one in the flesh, before I pull the trigger.

SWISSAHOLICS · 13 June 2013, 06:49 AM

Congrats...it looks more purple than blue.

Elusion · 13 June 2013, 06:53 AM

I want this watch! I'm really looking forward to seeing this in person. It looks purple in this picture and others that I’ve seen, which I don't like.

And it is certainly not too small. Just the right size. I don't know why people want to wear giant disks on their wrists.

floater156 · 13 June 2013, 06:53 AM
