Black & Blue in Grand Cayman
Just returned from Grand Cayman where I saw the black and blue GMT for the first time. I was on the fence about this one based on pictures but after seeing it live, I'm now a believer. The colors look great together and the blue GMT hand truly sets it off. Here's the mandatory wrist shot plus some random Cayman pics.

I love grand cayman. Looks like you had a great trip. Can't wait to see the B&B GMT in the steel.

What a great combination, the new GMT and The Caymans. Beautiful watch, and beautiful scenery, congrats!

No. Was just window shopping. They said it was their first and just got it in the day before. Full US$ MSRP but no tax. Everything else they had was discounted 5% to 15%.

Kirk Freeport. She said they just got it in the day before and it was their only one. That would have been last Wednesday 6/19.

funny, i just saw my first in cayman yesterday.

i dont know why but, for me, the gmt-c loses its charm and appeal in this coloring.

MSRP is $8,950 US. The pricing is similar to the SubLV - about $500 more than the regular model.
