2 days of GMT BLNR ownership

My first Rolex...GMT 2 BLNR and I absolutely love it. Had it on order for a few week and it finally arrived at the AD on Monday.

I can't compare it to other Rolex models but in comparison to my Omega Seamaster and Tag Link it is miles more comfy.

The bezel glides smoothly with a comfy click, the bracelet and clasp are snug, it looks great to admire.

Here are some shots, what do you all think?

Looks stunning! I've shied away from a GMT so far because of the PCLs... Always thought they were too bilingual for me. But I'm starting to embrace the bling. Especially on the BLNR, it just looks great.

*blingy, not bilingual. I guess the two-color ceramic could be considered bilingual...
