Unexpected incoming!

I’ve come to realize having a BLNR and selling it before was due to the fact that it just is a boring watch in my humble opinion. I do understand it is a beautiful piece but the luster of it got very old for me. So I picked up this 2tone and wow it’s so overlooked by the new rootbeer 2tone which was also beautiful when I first saw it but didn’t like brown very much on the bezel, if I were to get the rootbeer the full rose gold version is something else. Through all this turmoil and confusion I fell in love with this 2tone gmt as it is so timeless and classic to me! I love it to death! The bezel on it is so classy and nice!

Very nice. I swapped my BLNR for an LN. I couldn’t live with that blue...and I adore the green details.

Enjoy your watch.

One of the must beautiful watches that Rolex makes. But I am biased :) congratulations!

Congrats. I have a TT GMTc and enjoy it very much. It’s not for everyone but if you like TT, it’s an awesome piece.

Congrats on the TT GMT. Totally agree btw - this watch tends to get overlooked a lot here by its TT Sub counterparts.

I've been wearing my 2002 GMT TT all weekend and I forgot how good it looks and how comfortable it wears. I'm loving it.
