Destroy, I very easily adjust the bracelet between the 3 Micro adjustment, on the inside of the clasp. Use a Thumb Tack, to slide the springbar pins inward, and then adjust. Very easy to do so.

I would agree with Chad on the other points.

Being white(milky platinum),it blends with the large white dots on the dial and in a way distracts from the dial.My solution would have been to keep the colour silver and keep the fonts smaller.In this way the dial would keep its prominence and not be competing with the bezel.

The hand should be red.

Apart from these minors,I like the rest of the design and bracelet.Much more than the tt version..

Still wouldnt buy one though ....

Well, one thing nice about the Green hand, is it is more subdued than the Red. I wold even though like the Green hand even more darker and subdued even more. Sometimes on the my old GMT II or my Explorer I think the Red stands out too much.

Now, as for the Bezel, it seems some either like the larger numbers or dislike it. Personally, I love the way the newer bezel's numbers stand out. The Platiunum contrasts very nice with the Bezel. The bezel has a nice look to it, and the numbers a nice grey tint. The Bezel numbers on mine do not look white at all, but a duller grey color. The color perfectly matches the brushed top sides of the SS case. Always, thought the old, easily scrathed aluminum bezel were a little cheap looking after they got scrathed up and faded a bit. That is one unique thing about this new bezel, no fading, and no scratching. And the movement of the Bezel is just outstanding!

I think once I get the center polished links brushed out, it will look great!

Thanks for the pics on the extension.

Mine had popped open inadvertently and the I thought the band was sized a bit off. This is so obvious now, but I appreciate it.

You just know they are going to make a ceramic Black and Red Bezel. What color will the green hand be then?

If they do make one, I will be the first in line to get it!!!!!!!!

They would have to change back to the red hand for it to look good!

Yeah, but I would cut in front of you!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rolex area rep I talked to the other day showed me his 116710 and said that Rolex has decided it's always going to have a black bezel. I'm not sure this guy was saying things with full authority but he said that this is what Rolex has told it's area reps....

Yeah but are you fast enough?????

Might as well, they would still all sell and keep production and development cost way down.

leopardprey · 5 October 2007, 01:35 AM

Not fast enough, but cunning enough!

"Hey, Robb check out that hot looking chick across the street"

"where, where, where??? Oh, there, yeah nice!"

"Hey, Robb, like my new Red/Black GMT Ceramic? You were first in line, but got distracted, so I just walked right in and bought the only one they had in stock!!"
