I would be very surprised if this actually has a ceramic dial. Especially as quickly as this has come to market.

Personal opinion ofc, but I don't find this color combo attractive. It's too much green in an asymmetric way. The combo below is much more appealing to me, I made it 5 years ago. But I get it that it now looks similar to a Starbucks.

Rush to market for ARF? The jubilee sample has an uncentered insert triangle and crooked 3 o'clock marker. RL for sure.

This is really nice, love seeing fantasy pieces like this.

Imho the plain ceramic matte dial of this watch doesnt gel with the watch itself, I agree. A sunburst or even spider fracture dial would have been much cooler imho. The green is way too reflective and borinh.

I disliked it in the FG version also. That dial is an even worse shade of green, with some limey influences.

Amazing you’re always top and first on releases. Respect 🫡

I think they didn’t want it too much like the Hulk — hence the ceramic dial with identical finish to the half bezel. I think that was kind of the point. And if memory serves, the 50th Anniversary YG green dial was not sun burst either.

To that point, at first I thought why not a full green bezel, being 70th Anniversary and all. But then not being a Sub why not play with the bi-color bezel unique to the GMT models 😎

Sounds like you have a line to ARF. Please tell them after the Tiger GMT to get back to work on the 5 digit Subs lol. We need a proper 1:1 Sub 16610 again !

Very cool...

The Tiger Eye dial has a yellow tint to it actually from what I saw.... depends on the dial they use


Oh wow that's a different look altogether. The red and orange streaks are much better looking. Hey CLEAN are you listening, haha. @CTime Don't let them mess this up, yo?

I love GMTs and personally not interested in the tiger eye dial at all.

Only a matter of time before we have a falcon eye incident on these GMT reps.

Hmmmm. Yeah. I mean, it's no worse than the Gen I guess?
I mean. It speaks to how lazy Rolex actually is if Chinese rep factories can pump a new release out in less than 1 month of announcement. Only need a new dial. The case is from the previous white gold meteorite/blue GMT that exists.
