Just picked up the new GRNR. Very nice “under the radar” watch. Many think this new version GMT is boring. That may be. What it lacks in “pop” is easily offset by comfort and versatility. This watch can easily be dressed up or down. I think the GMT is one of the most comfortable on the wrist. Easily a daily wear and because it is so under the radar I would not be concerned about wearing it for travel abroad or to NYC. My Pepsi will now be used more for evening and special occasions.

Another plus for me is my Pepsi is on Oyster so now I have a Jubilee that I can trade out when I want a different look.

Looks very nice, very classy and suits the jubilee bracelet perfectly, still has a sporty look too.

I think the colour way is a great combination

Congratulations to you!!

Yes the colors are proving to be quite interesting. Depending on the lighting it can appear all black, sometimes the grey appears to take on a gradient effect, but my favorite is when the grey appears to be a polished chrome.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Congrats!

I really like this reference.

But I also daily an 116710LN, so that makes sense.

Nothing wrong with this reference at all!

Not sure if it would be my first GMT, but nice compliment to your Pepsi! Enjoy!

Congrats and great pick up.

If you don’t already have it get the Bergeon 7825 spring bar tweezers. Makes it easy for changing bracelets.

Congrats on the new GMT. My eye has always been drawn to 116710LN because of the green accents, so I really liked this release.
