With other sub-collections like Prospex, Presage, and Seiko 5 Sports, did we need another line of Seiko watches? Probably link not, but King Seiko has something link of a cult following. And judging by the reception online when this link new Seiko sub-collection (in a few dial colors) was announced last month, the Seiko-obsessed are positively jazzed over this new line.

So I tried to avoid the partisan approach when I first encountered the most talked-about new release at Watches and Wonders, the green-and-black Rolex GMT-Master II ref. 126720VTNR, link with the crown link and date on the left-hand side. I did finally come to a conclusion by the time I left the Rolex conference room, and I'll share link it here, but first I'm going to walk you through how I arrived at a verdict.
