Leak from Rolex non-public website of new GMT 126710BL

This.

Tell me that the blueberry itself is called a fake by many experts lol

Whatever Rolex did this is the present. The hand colour for VTNR, BLNR and BLRO are specific.

Rolex will never overlap those hands again with the possible exception of the Coke.

Fake posts like the OPs are just attention seeking and sad.

Maybe this is fake, maybe it's not. We'll know in under 24 hours.

“Had” a green hand and that GMT is gone because it overlapped.

What a confining world.

I’m not convinced this is fake. It might be, but I can see it happening.

Go to Rolex.com and read all about the GMT, clear as day the bezel is only ever going to be 2 colours.

There were solid color bezels (black) for many years. Yes, as Rolex switched to ceramics they initially couldn't produce a true bicolor bezel and the BLNR really only exists because it was one of the first color combinations they could offer. It helped that they could call it a "day/night" bezel, but really it was what they could feasibly do.

Rolex absolutely could reintroduce a solid color bezel and it would have plenty of historical precedent. I wish the grey/black bezels were just solid black as the contrast is minimal and the whole purpose of a bicolor bezel is simply to quickly distinguish day from night hours on a 24 hour scale. It's really not even needed if we are being honest. The 116710LN is still one of the best looking GMT Masters ever produced as was the 116713LN and this is coming from a BLRO owner.

Hilarious is that people don’t even go and read what Rolex themselves say about the GMT on their website. Nothing could be clearer, the GMT will always have a 2 colour bezel.

The LN “had”, yes, and it was ok, but that watch is done for good.

Go to a Buddhist temple and ask them about “impermanence.”

If they don't discontinue the VTNR in the next 24hrs you may well be very wrong on this

Haha, give it up it will never happen, have you ever looked at their website?

It will NEVER happen. Let’s bet? How many years of it not happening for the loser to resign their membership? You decide and I’ll accept. Nice knowing you lol

You mean what looks green 24 hr hand on the leaked GRNR, could be yes but let’s wait and see.

One thing I will never be wrong on is the 2 colour bezel, want to join the above mentioned bet? Nice knowing you too lol

Looks pretty green to me.

Not commenting on the bezel, nobody, including yourself knows what Rolex will ever decide to do with the GMT Master bezel beforehand

[trout_thumper21]

This has been confirmed. See Rolex Passion Report instagram. Bye bye BLNR

“Confirmed” means nothing in this case. It is evident that the blueberry gmt photo comes from the same source we are discussing here, whereas the other leaks on RPR base on the evidently authentic video leak.

It’s really amazing that you think a few words chosen by todays Rolex leaders (and words that do not say “will always be bi-color”) will somehow force tomorrows Rolex leaders to never change and never offer a single color GMT bezel. That’s a very narrow and odd reading of their language used .

So I’ll take that as a resounding NO to my suggested bet.

Rolex now is not like before, they are distinguishing between the GMT and Sub by forever making the GMT 2 colours and the Sub 1 colour.

The language they use is clear as day.

Not surprising no takers for the bet lol

[jb335]

The bet is just silly.

Can you please paste the exact language you are referring to?

We’ll see about the hand and whether, as others have suggested, the VTNR remains.

But there is no question about the 2 colour bezel, Rolex is telling us.

I’ve offered a bet if you want to take it. Not holding my breath.

Go read about the GMT on their website, not surprised people won’t verify for themselves before taking a position.

Ok, I read.

I didn’t read any verbiage that says the GMT will always be a bi-color.

Feel free to copy and paste it if I missed it. I will wait….

+1. Where does it say so?

[deuxani]

Well actually in their defense, the current site does mention it clearly:

“As the successor to the model presented in 1955 and adopted by airline pilots, the GMT-Master II has become the ultimate cosmopolitan watch. With an additional 24-hour hand and a two-colour rotatable graduated bezel, it displays a second time zone. It also allows each wearer to strengthen their connection with their own personal “somewhere out there”, whether it be from memories, dream destinations or future journeys.”

1675 did exist with a one color bezel up to the 116710LN... Just sayin' ;-)

Huh? Where does it clearly state the GMT will always be bi-color? That is his claim. Always two colors.

What you quoted simply states how it is currently offered.

For example; if I write a physical description of myself and state my head has a full head of thick blonde hair, does that mean I will never go bald in the future?

Really interesting how an apparent Buddhist is get so riled up.

Riled up? Current situation.

If the SS GRNR is confirmed later then that is 100% also confirming that it is the new LN. Grey and black is the new black.

[OTX]

Imo, if the GRNR steel is confirmed, then the Sprite is most likely gone. Like someone else mentioned, they are too similar and both have green GMT hands. I don’t see Rolex offering 2 steel GMTs with green hands. At this point, I’m willing to bet the Sprite is going bye bye in a few hours!.

I won’t cry, hate the colour and hate the nickname even more

To each their own!. I have a Batgirl as well as the Sprite and I wear the Sprite 90% of the time. Different tastes I guess. I hope it does go bye so mine can become more exclusive :-)
