Daytona 116510 replica

The upper part of the “Preserved Egg Ring” is black, and the lower half is gray, with the color divided at the bezel scales 6 and 18. The new steel-shell black and gray circle, although not as eye-catching as other color circles, will inevitably attract those who prefer the understated combination of black and gray. The subtle appearance of black and gray suits more “serious” occasions.

Since the two bezel colors are relatively dark, the green GMT hand on the dial and the green GMT MASTER text are very noticeable. In contrast, the blue-red, blue-black, and Sprite circles are so striking that they overshadow the colored GMT hands. The all-gold and two-tone models of the “Preserved Egg Ring” match the 18K gold on the watch with golden GMT hands, but this steel-shelled “Preserved Egg Ring” has a more subdued look, with just a hint of green on the dial. This subtlety adds a touch of “sullenness” in a good way.

The new steel-shelled Greenwich GMT “Egg Ring” remains 40mm in size. With the Rolex Aqua 126610 now adjusted to 41mm, some yachts to 42mm, and the Datejust, Oyster Perpetual, and men’s models also at 41mm, the Greenwich GMT is slightly smaller. The front of the case is brushed, and the sides are polished, which is a unique case treatment for Rolex sports watches and Tudor Sport watches (other sports models from major brands often feature brushed sides). The same applies to the new steel-case “Preserved Egg Ring”.

It is worth noting that although the Rolex GMT looks similar to the Submariner, the Greenwich is not a Submariner, and the Greenwich’s water resistance is lower—300 meters for the Submariner and 100 meters for the Greenwich. After all, the Greenwich is designed for aviation and time-zone crossing, not diving.

The “Preserved Egg Ring” with a golden shell only comes with a five-bead chain. The new steel-shelled “Preserved Egg Ring” offers both five-bead and oyster chains. In recent years, Rolex, Tudor, and sports models have featured five-bead chains. This chain, with many links, is soft, alternates between polished and brushed finishes, and offers a good reflective effect. When used in sports models, it greatly enhances formality and luxury, although the price also increases slightly. The oyster chain, on the other hand, is even sportier.

The steel-shell black and gray “Preserved Egg Ring” has a relatively plain color, making it less recognizable than the red-blue and blue-black circles. Based on last year’s market for the gold “Egg Ring”, we can infer that the market for the new steel-shell “Egg Ring” will be lower. Interested buyers should keep an eye on it.
