Here’s a screen grab from a video on IG that shows the gray portion of the bezel very clearly.

I’m very curious to see this model in person. Most photos look all black, this one looks very gray:

I like this one much better in full gold, unlike the rootbeer I like better in TT.

Caution judgement until you see it in person.

Must be "mature eyes", I can't really see a marked difference.

Agree — I thought it was all black when I first saw it.

I think a gmt should always have a 2 colour insert. I think they did fine.

All black would be better. All grey would be slightly worse than all black but still better. This almost looks like a qc issue

I’m an LN GMT owner and I really like what they’ve done with the black and grey bezel insert on these releases. I also like the fact they’ve left the GMT hand as PM and not painted it some gaudy colour. Makes it so much easier to read.

I’m looking forward to seeing one of these. I prefer the TT to the full PM.

I like gold watches but without the full gold bracelet. For me, a full PM bracelet is just too much Gold flashing around.

Same. Very nice.
I also am fond of the new Jubilee TT version.

I wouldn't have even known that there were two colours or shoes unless you told me.

Does the right lighting show it up better?

Yeah, I've got to admit, I don't get it.

All black would've been sooooo nice...
