New GMTs
After having tried the new Pepsi GMT, 2-tone and Everose models, I was surprised I liked Everose the most, followed by the 2-tone and then the Pepsi. The Pepsi wasn't for me as the look of the jubilee bracelet didn't do it for me, particularly with the new longish exposed clasp (vs. a concealed clasp). It just felt and looked "off" and I much rather preferred the look of the BLNR over the Pepsi. Still, I know this is a matter of personal preference and I know others love the Pepsi.
While I absolutely loved both the two-tone and Everose models, the latter was a major surprise revelation for me, as I never thought I could carry a colored gold sports watch. The entire execution from the color of Everose, to the black dial to the muted colors of the bezel create a surprisingly understated, sober and warm look for the the watch. The weight of the watch is beautifully balanced and Rolex absolutely nailed all the details with this release.
With that said, I chose the Everose model over the other 2 and this was a great example of watches in person often times having an entirely different personality than you can surmise from pictures.
So without further ado, here's a picture of my new acquisition.

I think all three variants will find their fan bases
Rolex had been very successful with the modern GMT line. Every variant to date has gotten its attention from a wide audience. If you like the full gold model, I’m sure many would like the half gold variant — less costly and still has that look, if you kno...
I never fancied carrying off (or wearing) a colored gold bracelet watch either...
..but this one felt “quiet” and even warm for lack of a better description. And the weight of the watch adds a certain feeling of solidity to the design execution as the watch head is remarkably well balanced by the bracelet.
Huge congrats! My favourite of the three as well 😉
Although I don't see myself wearing one, I'm a white metal guy. Regarding the new Pepsi, I've seen it in person and definitely is not for me. Many great "pros" but the overall look on the Jubilee bracelet and the big clasp doesn't make it for me. I'm glad...
Great choice!!!
Many congrats ☺️ For me the most beautiful version of the new GMT II. I have also tried the Everrose version. It was much more discreet than presumed and is still on my list. But I‘m afraid it’s not the right choice for daily business. At least in Austria...
I hear you Thomas, I had the same reservations as you for daily business wear here in the US...
...and yet I surprised myself in making this "brutal" choice. Perhaps because I'm now over 50, I increasingly care less about what others think (to my kids' chagrin). The fact that the watch is about as subtle as you can get in colored gold made it an eas...
LOL!!!!
Nice to see that not only kids in USA feel ashamed of their parents. ☺️ You are completely right. I am also beyond 50 (51) and care every day less what other people think and talk about me. Perhaps just my own reservations influence me in this case. I wil...
Bracelet Ceramic Inserts
BTW, I've read a couple of unverified reports that the bracelet on the Everose model (but not the 2-tone) has ceramic inserts to prevent wear (and stretch), similar to the new 40mm DD. I thought this was interesting. Curious if anyone has hard facts on th...
