Great pics. Thank You. When I had 1st seen the 50th Daytona (someone elses pics) it looked to be a deep red bezel with white or lighter colored face.

Not sure I'm too keen on the blue.

Thanks for posting.

Did anyone else notice the numbers / 12 hour marker are stark White???

A bit of a departure from the sprayed platinum on the SS GMTIIC and Gold of course on the Gold model watch.

I think this may make the watch much different (not sure for the better) in person.

Those are the best shots of the BB-GMT I've seen so far and it looks pretty damn good.

I think it will sell and depending on what other color combinations Rolex manages, it could become a very sought after piece.

Still, a Pepsi would have been the best choice, if they can do it at all.

Great pics of the new GMT. They are some of the best pics I have seen of it yet as I think it gives a true representation of how the colours may look. Many of the pics I have seen to-date have left me wondering what it might be like in real life.

Thanks! The look of this GMT even made me excuse the polished center link.

The blue hand is fantastic. I'd really call the blue more of a "French blue" if you think of 1950's French race cars: a great color indeed.

I agree, if they "Pepsi" this thing, it will be stunning. Fingers crossed!

Thanks so much for sharing your outstanding photos! Great effort in getting so many.

I'm sure carrying all those "heavy" brochures will be well worth it when you get to sit down in your favourite chair with your favourite drink and go through them all.

So true Bangel. But how do you deal with "oh.. I want that one.. Oh that one to.. I'd go mad.

Pics are awesome thanks for your kind effort.
