That is the case for many newer model Rolex watches.
Balance is what sometimes is not there.

GMT-Master II, Pepsi Cerachrom bezel
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 23rd, 2015-14:32
Friends, I just like to share some shots of the new White Gold GMT-Master II with Pepsi bezel. This was the first time I saw this one in real. I was very excited when I heard that Rolex would make a blue/red bezel to the GMT II, but when I found out tha...
Would be interesting to know...

If there are technical issues to make blue/red? If we look at the black/blue, the blue is also less bright in colors.... Best Blomman
I also think the price tag is hefty for that type of watch

as it's a very casual looking watch. Just like an explorer and submariner. And the chosen metal has more or less the same colour as steel. So one could ask themselves: where is the differentiation? Saw it live a couple of weeks ago and I must say that it ...
Congrats on your 400 post, Arie! :)

As for your point - yes, I should try to have a more open mind and look at the watch for what it is without comparing it to the vintage... Problem is that I like the vintage better due to the colors... Best Blomman
tnx

did not realize I was yada yada yada-ing so much...
If only it was a matte black dial...

.... like the new seadweller. It would have been much nicer, also works better with the matte colors of the bezel.... AND it would have been a little different from the steel version.
Congrats on your 1K post, Fricks! :)

Yes, I think you have a good point here, matt dial would probably made this one look better! :) Best Blomman
Again I must say

that I share your views :) Colours are bit disappointing One thing that interest me is how hefty is once strapped to wrist? Yours D
Ah, my Croatian gemini ! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 24th, 2015-06:20
I can tell you it is quite heavy! Will know when this piece is on your wrist! :) Best Blomman
Diversity is a good thing! :)

Very happy that we all have different taste! Imagine if we all wanted the exact same watch... ;) Best Blomman
Colors on the ceramic are a bit muted indeed...
By: Thevenin : February 24th, 2015-08:24
...naturally, but white gold is much warmer looking than stainless steel, especially on the PCLs. I think the combination is beautiful. However, as a sports watch with this price tag, it's pretty hard to justify the purchase, many near-perfect watches out...
Yes, white gold has a much warmer tone...

Love it in the right place. For me, this is a too much tool watch to go with WG for my taste. But, I think it is a good strategy for Rolex to make watches in more precious metals as well as steel. Would be interesting to see this one YG. Would it work...?...
Coming from a non-GMT lover
By: TdotBean : February 24th, 2015-20:01
I like the watch a lot. Maybe because I don't want Rolex to make a perfect replica of the old 1675. That would be silly. I like the shade of blue on this WG GMT but I'm disappointment with the price and it's weight. I try out the watch a couple times. It ...
I've seen it in real and ...
By: P@trick@Belgium : February 25th, 2015-13:17
... like some other people i was disapointed in the colours , they looked a bit faded IMO, the red is not bright and the blue has a greyish tone, for that kind of money it would be a no go for me, helas ....
Happy 400 Patrick! :)

So many hitting an even number here! :) Best Blomman
Ceramic is not translucent says Dr Monet :-)
By: COUNT DE MONET : February 26th, 2015-04:46
Brightness of a metal bonded ceramic is the classic issue in dentistry when it comes to natural looking teeth. As this bezel is bonded to metal ( I believe ) it can't be bright in colour. The trick could be an all ceramic bezel from a certain ceramic that...
