Just had the opportunity to try on some of the new Baselworld releases tonight. All I can say is wow... Now the wait begins before I can buy

Which one stands out for you?

That TT GMT is smoking in pics! What did you think of it in the metal?

I’m not a big fan of two tone watches. I really liked the all rose gold GMT.

For me it was the SS Pepsi GMT on jubilee bracelet.

Funny all new models have the crown between Swiss and made except the WG blue dial GMT. What could be the reason?

The crown at 6 o'clock denotes the new movement. The WG BLRO didn't receive the 3285 and therefore doesn't have an additional crown on the dial. It also didn't get the longer hands like the other models.

The WG just got a new blue dial, doesn't contain the new movement. Hence no extra crown.

Correct

WG BLRO has the 3186 movement and the other new GMT Basel releases with the crown between SWISS MADE have the 3285 movement.

The more I look at the new dials the more I think the mini coronet looks terrible. The rehaut was already a fairly meh change for me to have coronet/Rolex engravings...but this is starting to get tasteless.

HL65 · 29 April 2018, 07:05 PM

Can't wait to get the SS BLRO looks amazing!

Cru Jones · 29 April 2018, 07:24 PM

Great pics, thanks!

I agree. This picture in particular shows of very nice colors. I guess the purple/pink does depend on the lighting.

I'm liking it more and more.

Always cool. Thanks.

Interesting observation. My SD43 doesn’t have the crown at 6:00 but has a newer movement than older versions, with 70 hr power reserve. Off topic: MY SD43 is extremely accurate, gaining only 1 sec a month or so. My other Rolex’s are about 2-4 sec/day. Not sure why that is.

travisb · 29 April 2018, 11:12 PM

Wow! They all look so good. This could be a pricey year for me.

My AD’s event is still over a week out but I’m really looking forward to it.

brandrea · 29 April 2018, 11:16 PM

Can’t wait, the count down I see on to our event soon

Thanks for the pics

This is likely because the SD43 is a new model and the only of its kind. The GMT is a rolling evolution. There's been plenty of speculation that Rolex will eventually add a 6 o'clock coronet to the SD43 dial but it's a 50/50 chance and errs more heavily on the 50% side.

My latest GMT is currently running about +0.5sec over a month of observation. That's more in the regulation than the movement. Yes, the Chronergy escapement in the new movement helps but the old movements are perfectly capable of being accurate if regulated correctly.

I’m so jealous of everyone getting to preview the watches. The next open preview that I know of in NJ is at short hills mall on June 7th

It’s like a month away

Not quite, they first have to be in stock at an AD.

watchwatcher · 30 April 2018, 12:59 AM

Hmm...that RG GMT looks pretty hot.

Paul_I · 30 April 2018, 01:07 AM

SS GMT looks good to me.
