lhooq Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Leaves me feeling empty inside. From afar it looks like a Datejust with a cluttered dial. I'll wait until they stick that movement in a sports case, and turn it into a more appropriately utilitarian watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I agree with LHOOQ..."looks like a DJ with a cluttered dial". But I cant fault the mechanical works behind that busy dial. Quite Impressive actually. I see Tiger has a new watch gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Despite what I think about the Sky-Dweller I do have to say that it's interesting to see Rolex finally getting into the concept of complications on their watches. Though I still feel their new designs are pretty bad. To me, I think it's maybe more to do with the oversized cases paired with the relatively small bracelets. The combination just looks terribly unbalanced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 What a strange ambassador for this watch , beats Travolta I guess. Bad looking watch though , dial is really unbalanced , and like subbie I am not a fluted bezel fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Another clever, thought out component, is the lack of lume over the 24hr zone so you can see thru the hands, then lume at the the top. So close Rolex... I am with LHOOQ. We need a Tool Version. My vision of a GMT-Master III: A modification to the bezel to allow it to disengage "setting functions" and allow for Traditional (Pepsi ) Bezel operation, and add another 24hr traditional hand, could give us a watch with the following functions: - Local Time (12hr) - Time Zone 2 (Inner 24 Hour wheel) - Time Zone 3 AM/PM (traditional 24hr hand and outer bezel) (If 24 hour function like 1575-GMT) - Time Zone 4 (See Time Zone 3) (If 24 hour function like 3135-GMT) - Perpetual Calendar - Month View But, alas, it would probably be a monster/maxi and too busy/complicated... Anyone with mad photo shop skills??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmtlover Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I kinda like the watch, but mostly because of it's functions not necessarily the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Interesting... From a technological point of view, I quite like it, but the inner GMT ring is too 'cluttering'/complicating for my taste, and it's not a watch I would want to own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 The dial (with Roman markers, which rarely look right on a wrist watch) is a bit busy & the watch a few mms too large, but, otherwise, it is a very sophisticated-looking watch. A white gold, steel or platinum version would definitely work for me. Kudos to Rolex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I keep looking at this one and it is definitely the Fluted bezel thatis doing it in for me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeKa Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I like it. make it bigger and include an alarm and it would be amazing. And day. And different colors on month indicator for each month. And a flip-out chainsaw... Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimster Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Leaves me feeling empty inside. From afar it looks like a Datejust with a cluttered dial. I'll wait until they stick that movement in a sports case, and turn it into a more appropriately utilitarian watch. I thinking we should see a GMT III soon. The rotating bezel function is an amazing piece of engineering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeKa Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Oooo flip out chainsaw!!! and 10,000 meter water resistance. 11035 meters to be in the safe side - the Mariana trench is 11034 and the ocean level might rise another meter Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
