How about a white faced GMT?
I am not talking about the famous (or infamous) PAN-AM did it or did it not exist white faced GMT... but rather a brand new model with a white face.
One of the things I love about my Polar EX II is the white face. I just find it a lot more legible, easier to read in both bright and low-light conditions. I think a white face GMT would have that advantage of legibility.... and really.. why not? |

I think that would be a great idea. Someone modified a gmt master 2 with a polar face and posted it here. Thought it worked. Call Geneva!

Yes, I love the legibility of my Exp II polar and passed on a GMT because of reduced readability---but I'd prefer the GMT 40mm size. So a polar GMT would be perfect.

I like the idea. I've been thinking white Pelagos a lot recently... Not sure if it would work better with black or white bezel but I'm betting black

I've been hoping for one for a while now. It's been my pick the last couple of years in the annual "Basel predictions" threads.
Of course with my luck if Rolex does release one it will probably be platinum.

Do you think they will make a modern white face?

White face and a ceramic bezel.... that would bring immense pain to my bank account.

White dials also serve as their own kind of Anti-Reflective device so all good by me.

It would be great when I'm flying around my Cessna 172. You know what the GMT hand is for, right Paul?

You might have to settle for one of these instead...
