I know I've asked this before... but....
WHY!?!?!? WHY doesn't Rolex make a WG GMT? They make a WG Datona, a WG Submariner, (obviously) a WG President, why not one of the most iconic watches ever produced? The most recent explanation I heard was: "Well, the GMT is a sport, or working watch, they wouldn't make a "working" watch in WG." Really? And what, exactly, is a submariner? A dress-up only watch? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but with the new super cases out aren't the sub and the GMT in the same case? How hard would it be to put a 3186 movement in there?
I was trying on watches at the AD, both SS and WG, and just thought how absolutely cool a WG GMT would be, definitely my new grail if it existed. ROLEX!?!?!? ARE YOU LISTENING!?!?!? |

WB GMT would actually make a lot of sense, with a red GMT hand to distinguish. Yummie!

What about a WG GMT with optional bark finish & coke/pepsi bezels? That would be a wicked cool selection.

I treid on a beautiful WG sub with stone encrusted bezel at an AD. I'm not usually a wg person but have to sya, the watch was gorgeous. That said, I don't know if I could tell the difference between wg and SS. And, the SS probably wears better in terms of finish durability not to mention the ohhhh 20 grand price difference. The precious metal Rolexes are beautiful and just plain overpriced. Ya gotta look to the preowned market to get anything near affordable. (for me anyway).
