Got the call and picked up my GMT II BLRO this afternoon. I do have a question: how loose or tight do GMT wearers wear this watch? I didn’t have the watch sized as I’d like to wear it for a few days to see if I like the loose fit. Thanks for your replies. The watch is stunning.

it looks like it fits pretty well as is. The bracelet is causing your skin to narrow, so looks snug in the picture (Pictures can be deceiving). Beautiful watch! Enjoy!

Big_Red · 13 September 2019, 06:07 AM

Loose? Looks tight from pic. Nice piece though!

I.envy.you.
Watch is beautiful. Looks like your’s a bit tight tbh... but there are really no rules.. as long as it’s comfortable on the wrist. Enjoy it

P.s. May I ask how long was the wait?

Monte Cristo · 13 September 2019, 06:09 AM

Loose or tight, sitting higher up on the wrist or lower is a personal preference.

When looking at your pic, if it were my wrist i think it would feel a little tight.

Stunning piece BTW, congrats

She’s definitely a beauty, congrats!

I’m enclosing another photo to show how loose the watch is on my wrist. It’s not too tight.

I got on my AD’s list May 10, 2019. I waited a year to get the Daytona.

Can I be best friends with you and your dealer? Got friends in many lines of professions..... but AD watches :(

Oxfordian · 13 September 2019, 06:28 AM

Wow, that is one awesome watch, congratulations.

As for the bracelet, well that is a personal choice, I like the bracelet to be a snug, not sure what the clasp situation is on the GMT but you would have some micro adjustment which could allow for those days when your wrist is warm and swells.

skirkz · 13 September 2019, 06:30 AM

Congrats. I’m new to forum but have had the same experiences as a lot other ppl here trying to get on the wait lists, etc. Great to see someone actually get one at their AD. It looks f...ing fantastic!

I would consider it way too loose based on your second pic. You might remove a link and find a comfortable finer adjustment with the adjustable clasp bar.

Micro adjustment is at the last notch which is why I may have a link removed and the micro adjustment moved to the first notch. Thanks for advice, much appreciated.

TreiseKL · 13 September 2019, 07:04 AM

EPIC! I wear my watches tight and my jubilee watches tight as well. Jubilee actually feels better than oyster when wearing tight.

brandrea · 13 September 2019, 07:06 AM

Congratulations Mike, welcome to the club

I have a 7” wrist and removed one link from the bracelet. The micro adjustment is set in the middle position and there is just enough room to slide my pinky under the clasp.

I hope this helps.

Little machines · 13 September 2019, 07:06 AM

Congrats!!

inadeje · 13 September 2019, 07:15 AM

Thats way to big. Best way to beat up a watch is where it loose. Congrats though!

Ace775 · 13 September 2019, 08:01 AM

Congratulations ! Received mine today through a trusted seller. It’s impossible to get on a “list” elsewhere . Life is too short to wait for 5 years .
