A couple GMT's...

I tried on a couple GMT's this weekend and thought I would share some pics.

1. BLNR - This is just a great looking watch. I still don't know how I feel about the PCL's for the GMT's but I see this watch as being perfect for everyday wear in any situation. I was never a fan of the newer GMT model because of the green writing so this one really pulls me back in.

2. BLRO - I wish I had my SS Pepsi on at the time for some comparison shots. The feel/weight of this watch are great. I love that they have brought back the Pepsi, but am still upset they they brought it back in WG. One thing that did stand out to me was that date window didn't seem to be as magnified as the BLNR? Also, the "blue" in the ceramic bezel definitely has a hint of purple in there. I am betting that over the next couple years this shade will move more towards the classic blue. Either way, its still an awesome piece!

That PepC blows me away every time I see it!

Also I wouldn't worry about the date mag on that BLRO, it looks like they vary from watch to watch these days.

That BLRO is awesome. The magnification does look pretty low!

I tried the BLRO a couple of weeks ago at my AD. I love the feel/weight of it on my wrist, not to mention it's in WG
