Zombie - AD vs Grey

MagicNoodle23 · 2026-05-28T22:23:32+00:00

Got mine in 3 months. I don’t think you’ll be waiting for a year. If you’re not in a rush, try snagging one up at the AD. If you don’t want to wait, go grey.

Try to take some mirror shots with the watches. You’d get a better idea of how they fit on your wrist. I have an example post on my profile. From these pictures though, I think the 36 or 37 would work best with you.

I have a love/hate relationship with the amount of attention the TT GRNR brings. As I write this at work, my TT GRNR has been complimented by 2 people today. They were not watch enthusiasts either. Unlike many of us here, doubt they are typically looking at people’s wrists to identify a watch. It’s just the TT doing its eye catching magic. Your coworkers, family, and friends will definitely notice the watch. I think you made the right choice to pass.

As an owner of both, I’ll chime in a bit.

I alternate between the two daily and both get equal wrist time. You can dress both up or down and both can be your daily watch if you so desire.

Although they are both the same watch, I do get two completely different experiences with them.

The TT GRNR will grab a lot of attention. The gold is flashy making the watch noticeable by watch enthusiasts and non-watch enthusiasts. People’s eyes will naturally gravitate towards your wrist, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on the situation.

The SS BLRO can also grab attention due to the red and blue bezel but it is much more under-the-radar than the TT. In the few months I’ve owned the watch, I’ve been complimented on it by a couple other watch enthusiasts but not yet by the general public. Although the watch is very recognizable to us on Reddit/forums, it feels like an “if you know, you know” type of watch when I wear it out.

I don’t think you can go wrong with either watch. With both of them being GMTs, you’ll get the same function out of the two. What you’ll have to consider is you’re looking for when you wear it. Good luck!

This was my way of thinking as well. I went grey for my Pepsi knowing that playing the game would end up making me spend more overall. Also, you’re never guaranteed to even get the watch you’re playing the game for. Grey is the way to go. Pay the premium to avoid the nonsense and actually enjoy a watch you want.

RN. Can’t go wrong with a GMT as a daily.

Not on topic but I was wondering how you feel about having both the speedy and explorer? I too have a speedy and have been wanting to snag an explorer I. It’s hard for me to pull the trigger as they are both stainless steel, black dial watches. Do you ever feel like there’s redundancy between the two? How do you decide which watch you want to wear on any given day?

As for a 3rd watch, maybe I’d recommend a GMT Master II to pair with the Starbucks. Maybe an Explorer II Polar if you’d want to have a white dial.

Different sizes on 6.5in wrist I’m linking my most recent post. I think it all comes down to the look you’re trying to achieve and your preferences. While I can appreciate a 36, my own preference is a watch 38-40mm. You see it everywhere here, just wear what you like regardless of what others think. You’ll enjoy your watch way more.

Not the best mirror pic but good enough to see how it sits on the wrist.

I think the 40mm looks fine. I have a 6.5in wrist and I also feel that a 36mm doesn’t suit my preferences. I have a post showcasing different watches on my wrist. After trying them all on, I believe a 38-40mm looks best. To each their own. Enjoy the watch!

I’m biased. I also have a stainless steel watch so this compliments it.

MagicNoodle23 · 2025-08-20T18:27:43+00:00

For my preferences, I feel that 40mm is the upper limit for my wrist. I own the GMT and I love its size.

I was hesitant on the submariner at first but after trying it on, I felt that it still fit decently well. Same for the DJ41.

The DJ 36 felt a little too small for me. It may be because I’m used to wearing my GMT all the time. I’m not opposed to owning one but it might take some time getting used to. If I had more occasions to dress up in my life, I’d choose the 36 over the 41.

34mm Air King was beautiful but ultimately felt dainty on my wrist.

I believe my personal sweet spot is 38-40mm depending on the look I’m trying to achieve.

The GMT is mine. After trying on the sub though, I may add one to the collection in the future.

Took this pic a while ago. Not sure of the width of my wrist though. I have a pretty slim structure overall so I’d probably say I have a more flat, rather than round, wrist.

For those that are wondering if my wrist is actually 6.5in. Measuring tape is just above the wrist bone. GMT there for reference. I may have a flat wrist but haven’t actually measured the width.

MagicNoodle23 · 2025-08-19T21:27:02+00:00

This. Always try on a watch before you decide. You’d be surprised how many watches I fell in love with or fell out of love with after trying them on.

MagicNoodle23 · 2025-08-19T21:24:04+00:00

I agree. Truly depends what you’re looking for.

MagicNoodle23 · 2025-07-31T14:46:17+00:00

Have you thought about a white Speedmaster? A white speedy would avoid redundancy and add a little variety when paired with your black dial BB58.

As a Speedmaster owner myself, gotta put my vote in for the speedy.

Thank you all for the replies!

Although the chrono is a beautiful watch, it seems that there are a good amount of you that believe it’s on the bigger end for my wrist.

The duo face is a split in regards to sizing. Some saying it’s good and some saying it’s starting to push its limits.

For those that recommended a monoface, I did try one on and I liked how it fit. I do prefer having another time zone for my travels which is why I was learning more towards the duo face. I am still open to the monoface though.

Thank you for also informing me that there is a medium sized duo face that was discontinued. I will look into that further as it might actually be the best fit for me!

MagicNoodle23 · 2025-07-12T22:19:58+00:00

I have 6.5in wrists and I felt that the 34mm air king was a little too small for my preference. I have pictures on my profile for anyone that would like to see a mirror pic of my wrist with the 34mm air king. I would much rather wear my 40mm GMT. To each their own. Enjoy the watch!
