defeats the purpose of having a GMT... but if you like how it looks having a non functional GMT watch go for it

I don’t like it I’m afraid. Sure it looks great, but it’s confusing for the complication IMO.

Not a great look IMO, both in terms of color as well as having a diving bezel on a GMT which now has no 24 hour scale. But, if you like it, cool. Can always swap back.

It looks really good actually. It's just a bezel you can always take off.

I like it. I wouldn't judge, anyway, but based on the idiotic prices of subs right now, this is a great way to double your collection!

I liked the initial visual impact. But as I thought about it, it defeats the GMT function (i.e. 35:00). My daily wear is a 16710 and I use the 24 hour hands function.

But then, it's your watch Do What YOU Like.....

that's a bi-directional bezel with a uni-directional insert. What's this world coming to?

If Rolex sees that you'll go to Rolex jail and be forced to wear quartz watches for the rest of your life

1.) You can’t tell UTC time properly.
2.) Your going to run out of air when the bezel slips forward.
3.) Both

Just joking, the blue looks nice! 😁
