I agree. The white lettering gives the dial a fresh and clean presence

ArgH!
I'm so torn... I just picked up a DJ but seriously want one of these!
It's hard to justify getting a sportier watch as my reasoning for the DJ was a dress watch that I could wear everyday.

Don't mind my gibberish

Beautiful watch sir!!!

Congrats again. Truly one of the best that Rolex has to offer at this moment. I consider myself lucky to own one.

I'm more of a fan of vintage but when I decided to buy a new Rolex last year for the first time in ages, this is the one I chose. You will enjoy it. Btw cannot see anything off with the mag whatever that's about?

Many congrats on a stunner. I'm very, very surprised that that colour combo was never released on previous references of GMT.

Beautiful watch sir!!!
The beauty of this watch is it looks great with a suit as it was originally intended for pilots who wore suits. It also looks great in shorts and flip flops.

As good as it looks in photos, it's even better in person. This in my humble opinion is the best all around watch made today and not just by Rolex. Go out and buy it. Do it now.
I could not agree more. I sold my sub soon after getting BLNR.. it's an amazing watch.
