What do you think about the new LH GMT-Master II?

First I live the GMT-Master II but will say the green/black is my least favorite of the bi-color bezels. Plus every time I see pictures of one it strikes me as an odd Rolex, my brain has to adjust.



I have given up on trying to figure out the future collectability of modern Rolex watches. It used to be simple, the oddballs would win in the end. See the manual wind Daytonas. I am not sure other than visually the 126720VTNR will even be an oddball. The Pelagod LHD has a strong following outside the 10% of people who are left-handed. While I acknowledge the potential of appreciation in watches more and more every day I still strongly suggest people use what they want to wear as the primary buying criteria. If it speaks to you then go for it. When you are able to pick one up for retail selling your Batman will likely mean you got it for more or less "free" and it is an interesting conversation starter with a fellow watch geek such as discussing the historical precedents for a Rolex destro ie Charlie Chaplin's watch Rolex made custom for him.
