Why on Earth would Rolex create a brown bezel GMT?

Exactly!!!

Because making it on Mars would be cost prohibitive?



Is it April 1 yet?

Great answer!!

As for the watch, not my personal taste, but I think they did a very nice job with it.

What on Mars were they thinking? As seen by the Gemini North Telescope on Mauna Kea. Must have been the biggest dumping ground for aliens....

Let’s move along folks. Nothing to see here.

Are you talking about the surrounds on the lume plots? Those are Everose on both of the CHNR models.

Mars is nothing compared to Neptune

I was at an AD late last year and they mentioned that rose gold or everose was going to be the next big thing. I didn't exactly take it seriously at the time but with the TT and PM GMT it makes sense.

So one can post whatever they want but the facts speak for themselves and lots of people are down with brown!

His shared studies aren’t even reliable sources or quality data. I doubt the samples are good representations of the population. The OP also, is taking the assumption that one’s favorite color result from a general study has a direct translation to one’s preference for color of jewelry/watches. Black is my favorite watch dial, but not my favorite color. How do we explain that?

Overall weak data and weak argument from OP. Sample some WIS or luxury purchasers for more meaningful data. I seem to remember how many luxury designers sell leather goods in brown as well. Obviously nobody buys those because of the color right

The new root beer is sweet as, man. Highly subjective- you gotta' respect that different people are into different things. FWIW I think the new Pepsi looks horrid. I liked it when it first was announced "because it's a Pepsi", but over the days since I've lost all interest- looks very cheap and the blue is purple!

He’s probably a paid troll by Rolex. Think about it, he comes in talking down on brown bezels, we all defend the CHNR and how great it is. We now want a watch that we never knew we wanted. Rolex wins

The watch is so seductively warm looking; I have a real problem understanding what's not to like. Strangely the BLNR to me looks cold and stark, so much less inviting but that's my perspective.

[seadweller43]

will the rose gold gmt ii get 20% discount as usual? its tempting.

[codecow]

Brown is also the color of poo.

However... I think the new TT looks pretty good, I'm going to check it out when one comes in; probably won't buy though.

The surrounds are on the dial are around the markers on the dial. My comment was regarding their color/metal type. Rose gold surrounds would look Great, IMHO!

Yes. Really? I did not know that. I'll have to look at one in person... Thanks!

Green is the color of baby poo, especially if you fed the baby pureed baby poo-green Hulk and Kermits.

A few years later very good chance

[Buckeye4life]

I like the look of it in pictures. Brown is also the color of chocolate, coffee, leather belts/shoes, wood, etc. My brown suits get lots of compliments as well.

[BobDyl]

A couple more internet pics of the Poop Emoji .
Really into the brown/black/gold combo, nice interplay of colors there.

I suppose a similar question could be asked about the bezel on the platinum Daytona, the brown does not match the beautiful ice blue dial at all.

What on earth were you thinking when you started this thread??????

The new GMT is gorgeous and if there's an ugly color, its green. Rolex has had great success with that color on watches. Don't buy one, don't bother wasting your time wondering about why, don't even look at one...its not for you!!!

[_speedmaster_]

Really like the TT. I think it might be a better looking gmt than the Pepsi.
To each his own though OP.

People who hate this color should keep hating it, that way I won’t have too much of a hard time finding one at MSRP.

[Jason71]

Yea.......The New Rolex GMT Everose.........It's a terrible idea. There is no way a gold watch is going to look good with a brown bezel.......Oh wait.....

BAM!!!!!
