2023 Rolex GMT II Gold

Not sure of the reference number. I was in the boutique sourcing a leather strap for my Daytona and the Manager said I have something to show you, but it is already spoken for. A very special piece. Exquisitely crafted, bezel is subtle and some how the watch did not feel like bling to me.

Bezel doesn't looks subtle. Still waiting for pics from a real owner.

But thanks OP!

Lol, the reference number is on the tag in your second photo.

My favorite release from W&W 2023.

I really like it, not enough Id buy it BUT I really like it.
The bezel looks much better in the flesh and with proper light.

I saw the 126713GRNR (TT version) today at the AD and it looked great on the jubilee. I just wish the bezel was all Black, if so, it would have been a purchase.

Owner or not, those pictures are from a “real” watch. Iphone. Bezel changes depending on lighting. Compared to green/black, red/blue, brown/black and blue/black very subtle to me.

Wait, what? The watch will look different if the person who took the pic had paid for it? ::

Total stunner. I think maybe the slightly vintage feel turns down the flash a bit? I don’t know and I don’t care. I do know that I think it looks beautiful.

Thanks for the photos.

New releases always hit AD’s in May. It’s never been September/October.

Great looking watch OP!

Couple of threads were open few weeks ago regarding this topic and some of us, mostly from Europe posted the same info directly from our AD’s. New releases will come late summer.
Actually this week I was told the same in several AD’s out of my country.
