From Jonathan at The Edinburgh Watch Company.

” From the world of Rolex this week we share what has been one of the best selling sports watch since its launch in 2014 at the Basel watch fair. This model is known as the GMT Master 11 BLNR and affectionately referred to as the “Batman” or” Bruiser”
As a popular model in the sports range the GMT Master was originally designed by Rolex as a tool watch for pilots so that they could easily recognise whether they were flying in an am or pm zone. The bezel on earlier models had two colours, red/blue known as the Pepsi or red/black.. The Coke! These classic watches are now rapidly appreciating with prices achieving in excess of £6000 for a watch that in 2006 cost around £3000.
The watch we feature here is the latest version and in its blue/black configuration is a very hot and desirable watch with a typical wait list of a year! The old aluminium bezel has been replaced with a ceramic bezel along with a number of enhancements including a more substantial bracelet, wider case lugs and increased lume on the dial for improved night time reading. As a result for those not wanting to wait nearly new examples like this August 2016 watch are available on the pre-owned market place. This model along with the new Daytona Ceramic is like a watch equivalent of a GT3 or 458!”

Testimonial

This is to state that when I visited the premises of Border Reivers,I was really impressed by the knowledge of Tom Fitzsimmons when it comes to Porsche.The standard to which the cars are presented is meticulous.I have been communicating with them over many years as their offerings of Porsche have seemed mouthwatering, but one never knows by conversation alone the extent of enthusiasm and detail knowledge that Tom has put into the business, so it was a real pleasure to be there for real. I have been connected with the Marque Porsche ever since the early 60s and have driven them internationally and for Porsche themselves over many years. I have been buying, selling and racing Porsche for 48 years and it is a real pleasure to see such enthusiasm translated into such a passionate business always seeking perfection in the product.UnknownQuick Nick with his trade mark front wheel in the air
