Great wrist shots! I have to agree, the YM is the best out of the releases. I share your opinion on the WG GMT, that meteorite just makes the watch almost unreadable in some lights.

Even in good lighting like the pictures on DSW website, the watch face appears almost unreadable.

OP appreciate your pics and review of the event attended...I like your WG GMT the best!

Surprisingly, the YM does nothing for me but the SD looks great.

It was a great event, nice to see the Limited 100 WOS datejust each one sold means £3000 per watch to a great charity the Princes Trust.

Did they provide any Rolex company information? Manufacturing? Product availability? Anything like that?

Cool looking event. We don't really have any of these shows in 'heartland America', so your attendance and reporting are greatly appreciated. Many thanks!

Kind regards, -Rick.

Wow the blue dial WG BLRO, very rare indeed!! I thought I was black dial when sat on the table in the background lol.

Agree with above, yours is much nicer than any of the new releases.

Hello, do you have a real life pic of the meteorite GMT?
