Outdoor pics of my 2 new GMTs.

Finally got round to taking some outdoor pics of my two new GMTs. I think they both look really nice both in and outdoors.

I've been talking with the manager and SAs at my AD and we think a CHNR on Jubilee or a GRNR in SS may be possible next month, either way I am happy with the two I have. Altho a right handed VRNR might have me thinking of adding yet another GMT.

Two of two two tones not bad.

SAs and ADs know nothing but still fun to guess.

Beauties. I adore the GRNR, it has a fantastic ‘old school’ vibe to it.

Nice. Which do you prefer and which is you’re usual preference between YG and RG?

Well if you know me you'd know I did most of the talking, but yeah fun to guess at this stage.

It really depends, I was thinking its the GRNR, plus they were all really loving it at the ADs when I went back, and then I went to the post office today with the CHNR and the bezel and RG/SS Oyster just looked fantastic, so I really can't decide. Love them both right now.

Congratulations man, those are two really cool ones! Excellent choice - or to be honest you didn’t really choose in taking both ;)

I really like the warmth in the CHNR when you got them both in comparable light like that.

Wonderful! Both look spectacular. I am biased but the GRNR looks special. Either way, you have a perfect problem choosing every day!

Many thanks, my friends, think I am all GMT-ed out so hope nothing I want comes out at WW to be honest, esp as I have my eye on another Rolex, a nostalgia one.

The 1908? Or something you've owned and didn't make it in the current line up?

It's a nostalgic purchase for me as its the first Rolex I ever tried on in an AD and its the watch that made me want to have a Rolex. I never bought it but I do want one now.
