This is the watch we was discussing in the previous Rolex topic...
I personally like the colors: Better than what was done before.
This day/night contrast is more realistic or natural than a pepsi bezel IMO and the blue GMT hand gives a nice contrast on the dial without being too flashy.
Many would have preferred it in 42mm but since Rolex want to keep them watch on the small side...
I bet they thought at the beginning that big watches would be an ephemeral effect but 42mm never been big anyway.
Since they sell much in Asia now and that people are usually smaller than Europeans there, I guess that the 40mm makes many WIS happy anyway.
I think as well that they should get rid of the cyclop who makes the date unreadable as soon it don't stand in line with it...
But if you love the watch as it is and like those colors: Yes, go for it.
Those colors makes the watch very masculine and discreet IMO.
On my side, the price will always stop me: Even if I have the money.
But it's my own vision and priorities.
