SBGE255 And SBGE257 how would you rate them?

Really appealing to me but already have the Rolex GMT lineup
Was offered those two pieces by my AD.
Thoughts?

I expect I'll take a look at these when they hit my AD. I like the size, the thickness, much less so. The non-rotating bezel is nice and simple. Not all GMT need a rotating bezel. But with a 24-hr scale on the chapter ring, it's a bit redundant for only two time zones tracked.
I already own the SNR033 so I don't really need another GMT so it's fine these aren't really calling out to me. Just for curiosity sake.

Normally I tend to favor a blue dial but the yellow hand on the green GMT grabbed my attention. Would need to see them in person but my assumption is the design, style is unique enough from your current GMT to add another option to your collection.

Is your AD asking MSRP?

Does your AD already have them in stock?

I went for the green, still waiting for mine to hit my AD. I have a Batman so wanted a different color.

Did you see the review on monochrome?

Yes he does. He has both in stock!
I will try them on and see. With hulk and Batman, I’m not sure how they will fit in my collection but from the pictures I’m loving them!!

Love the look of the green model, but I'm a sucker for green watches (with one famous exception). Size seems good, will have to see what the thickness is like in person. One thing that caught my eye... the lack of a frame on the date window. This wouldn't normally jump out at me, but there was one video on instagram where the finishing on that spot just looked rough. Which was really surprising.

They are both great-my preference would be for blue-slightly more versatile than green. However, given you have a Rolex GMT, I would be thinking of the SBGA211 in that case.

Definitely look great and the right case diameter. The only thing that bothers me is the thickness of 14.7 mm. Will try it on first before deciding to add it to the collection.
