Went window Shopping to see GMT11C
Ok Guys, indulged my self today and caught a train to Cardiff (about a 15min train journey) walked through first class watch spotting. Spotted a Plat Daytona.
But the point of my post is, Went to see what all the fuss was about for the new GMT11C. They had one in my AD's window so popped in to try it on. I can see why people are sold on it. The photos do not do justice to that bezel. I wish the links on the bracelet were a little thicker like the SD. But as I said its a stunning watch. My conclusions were, this is a wonderful addition to the line up but: 1) I'm not sure it should replace the previous version of the GMT which I would of considered more of a tool watch. This new GMT is quite dressy and wonder if this should of been released as an addition to the previous GMT range. 2) IMO if the bezel as fitted to the GMT11C is being considered for Sub and SD. Rolex DON'T. Its just to dressy for these hard working beasts. The ceraminc bezel is a real beauty in the flesh and fits the GMT11C perfectly, but IMO, is not right for Sub/SD. So thats my opinion.
