Dang, that doesn't look bad at all

Good spot Scholar, nice to see they're beginning to come through at least in some places. I'm still confused as to the general aversion to the gilt, personally I love it. I think it's easier to appreciate the vintage inspired palette when you already own modern Rolex GMT's and submariners etc though.

Yeah I actually like how it doesn’t quite resemble any specific GMT or Sub reference; makes the mismatched details (critically the very 1970s snowflake on a 50s style design) work. Sort of like Omega’s Planet Ocean line in that respect.

In contrast the 54 feels like an almost pitch perfect reproduction of a first gen 1954 Sub, then slaps on a Snowflake hand for complete incoherence.

Opaline Pepsi (no gilt) on Jubilee next year for the win!?!

Have to agree with the hands. They feel an anachronism on the 54 and the GMT.

I like the watch but to sell one to me I’d still prefer Pepsi and Jubilee and less gilt. I know they faded to this look but it’s still a cool watch. I’m sure other bracelets and colors will follow.
