I enjoyed learning a little more about the challenges in creating the unibody, two-tone ceramic insert used by the present day GMT.

At the same time, across almost every category I think the original 1675 design is the clear winner.

My first impression was how much more pleasing to the eye the vintage is to the new GMT Master.

True but the new model is a tank. I can attest to its durability and versatility. But yes as an owner of a 1675 and a new one, the 1675 is much more elegant. I love em both though.

I couldn't help to focus on the scratch on the 1675 crystal. How about a little polywatch before filming? 😀

Very informative...the stab at Omega was a bit surprising but true. Rolex has not succumb to the endless limited edition releases to grow top line revenue and has stayed true to controlling the amount of watches it releases globally per year to protect it's marque.

I personally love the vintage, 2 quite different watches to say the least in terms of style and wear.

I prefer the vintage in general but wouldn't mind a modern pepsi GMT in SS. I can dream.

A bit suprised, at the little stab at Omega, at the end of the commentary
"Better that... than endless Limited Editions of the same watch"......

Well it's not untrue...Omega does have a LOT of "LE" Speedmasters.
