Surprise text! GRNR arrived!

Yesterday I got a surprise text from my AD. Was not expecting it so soon given it’s a new model. I put in the request once I saw the exhibition model.
This is probably my favorite GMT, online pictures do not do it justice. The gold details on the black dial pop. I absolutely love this GMT.
Funny thing, this text came a day after I came back from Vegas.
Many thanks to Korman!

Congratulations!!! It's a great piece. Funnier yet, I received the call from my AD two weeks ago WHILE I WAS in Las Vegas. Picked it up the day after I returned. And you are correct, pictures don't do it any justice.

Congrats!!

It's a great watch and I picked mine up on Monday and absolutely LOVE it! I personally think that it's the best GMT in the lineup as it combines many of the great features of other GMT models. Firstly the jubilee is so comfortable and the centre links don't seem to show scratches or marks like the PCLs on the oyster. Secondly, the yellow gold really makes the jubilee pop and sparkle. It has a lot more wrist presence than my CHNR which is lovely but the yellow gold is a lot brighter than the ever rose gold which can at times look quite muted (still love it though).

The grey section of the bezel also works very well and almost looks titanium which gives it a modern feel. Overall I just think it all works and it's my new favourite watch.
