2023 was an exciting year for the beloved GMT Master II because, for the first time in many years, the collection was once again available in yellow gold - both in full gold and two-tone options. Previously, if you wanted to add a newer-model precious metal GMT to your collection, Everose and Everose Rolesor were your only options.
The collection is returning to its roots by adding a precious metal finish that should have arguably never left the Rolex catalog.
THE JUBILEE BRACELET RETURNS
Die-hard collectors were also pleased to see the return of another iconic GMT Master duo: the 5-piece link Jubilee bracelet and yellow gold. You might be surprised to hear that the Everose and Everose Rolesor models were only produced on the three-link Oyster bracelet. Bringing back the beloved Jubilee bracelet in yellow gold (and two-tone) was a long-overdue and very welcome surprise at this year’s show.
So far, the yellow gold and two-tone models are only available on Jubilee bracelets. Only time will tell if Rolex adds the option for an Oyster bracelet to the lineup as well.
NEW BEZEL: Black and Grey
Ref. 126713GRNR also ushered in a new bezel colorway for the Rolex portfolio, black and grey. The dual-colored insert is more than a cosmetic design element. It also distinguishes between AM and PM hours for our globetrotting friends and, of course, harkens back to the original GMT blueprint from the 1950s.
The all-black ceramic bezel has been absent from the GMT Master II lineup since ref. 116710 was discontinued. So, it was understandably disappointing for many collectors to see yet another two-tone bezel instead of the triumphant return of the all-black bezel. However, many argue that the subtle tones of the grey half of the bezel have an all-black appearance in the right light.
NEW WATCH, SAME AMENITIES
With so many buzz-worthy upgrades, it’s easy to forget the men’s Rolex 126713GRNR also boasts other staple GMT amenities, such as longer-lasting Chromalight, scratch-resistant sapphire, and a Triplock screw-down crown with three waterproof sealed zones.
It also houses the celebrated caliber 3285 Perpetual movement, complete with Rolex’s patented Paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, Paraflex shock absorbers, and an impressive 70-hour power reserve.
The pre-owned Rolex GMT Master II 126713GRNR price varies, depending on condition and availability.

That GMT Master is stunning … to me it’s the hottest GMT Master at the moment … absolutely classic

I love mine. I picked it up from the AD window, noticed it for sale while I was passing by and a nice addition to the collection.

I think this video format might be fun to watch. Today, I went a bit more fun with my watch selection and picked my red/red Casio GA-2100 - Casioak. This might be the first time I have commented and not been wearing a Rolex. I would wear the HECK out of that gray/black GMT. Absolutely love it!

Glad you're ready for some fun with us on Watch in the Box! Ps. Big thanks to you for the #wristcheck!

On Emily's wrist that cocktail looks awesome. Such a tiny movement in a great case with a little ice in the ends, not a piece that I would consider wearing but I can certainly appreciate the effort that has gone into making it and then there is the intricate bracelet. Everyone loves the Bat Man on the oyster, a versatile watch that can be worn almost anywhere for any occasion, more so if you travel across time zones. The two tone in the box is definitely my pick compared to the gold, as mentioned the grey works better with the steel parts. I think two tone is on the way back, a couple of years ago I picked up a Tudor BB36 S&G that was on my wrist a couple of days ago. Today I have had a digital vintage inspired day with my Casio F-91W on the wrist earlier but now have another Casio A168 for the evening. I appreciate variety, automatic, manual, quartz analogue or digital, I can appreciate them all.

Wow! Love that you enjoyed the vintage Rolex cocktail watch on Emily this week. Two-tone is definitely having a resurgence (by our data alone). Always a pleasure hearing what you've chosen to wear on the wrist. Variety is the spice of life. Thanks for tuning in.

Wearing my Tudor BB58 blue as it’s my daily. Waiting for the call from my AD for my sub date 🤞🏻

Awesome daily watch! Emily is happy to read you're a Sub date fan. Hoping you get the call soon. We know a place that can help if you get tired of waiting 😉

We were a bit surprised to see the new format; however, upon reflection, we think that it works. You went in to more detail and showed a number of variations of the GMT. We like the idea of less pieces with more complete descriptions.

Late to the party, but I'm wearing my 1988 Explorer II Polar that I've had since new. Just this week I added a black rubber strap and I'm digging what that does for the vibe. And like you both, I've been gushing over the new two tone GMT so much so that I could be persuaded to part with my Explorer...maybe :)

Love the new format. Watching with Pepsi and loving it. Does the black and green combo come right-handed?

@bobswatches 6 ай бұрын

Can't thank you enough for all the support on our WITB update! Doesn't get much better than the Pepsi. Currently, Rolex is only offering the split green and black bezel on a left-handed GMT-Master II.

Tomorrow I will be sending off my Rolex Day-Date (ref 18078) to Bob's. My son didn't want it after all and is perfectly content with his Milgauss. I was hoping to see my watch on a "Watch in the Box" episode, but with the new format the odds of my watch being opened will be slim. In any event, I hope the new owner enjoys it as much as I have. As to a favorite GMT bezel, I'd have to go with the black and red Coke. It's the first one I ever saw. The man wearing it was driving a Porsche 912 Targa (it had a removable roof panel) and as much as I liked the car, that watch caught my eye. So like a duckling that imprints on the first thing it sees moving, that Coke GMT is my grail GMT.

Lovely to hear from you this week! Mia mentioned you were sending in your trusty 18078. Once it's available, I will happily wear it as a wrist check in an episode of WITB. Awesome to hear the classic "Coke" bezel gets your Grail vote. See you for another fun episode next week.

Emily and Justin, exciting new format to the series, should be fun (although I already miss Brandon). That GMT is killer indeed. As far as bezels, I'm with Emily on the root beer - if I had the resources, that's what I would aim for. Today I'm wearing my Nomos Tangente 35mm. Cheers.

@bobswatches 6 ай бұрын

Happy to hear you're up for more fun in Watch in the Box. To start, love your Nomos Tangente #wristcheck. To the Rolex GMT-Master bezel conversation - +2 for the Root Beer. See you next week for a new episode.
