I cannot tell if the bezel is damaged or not...it doesn't appear so from the pictures and that will save you some coin if it's not damaged.

It'll come back from the RSC looking beautiful...hang in there!

Luckily it's just the crystal. I hacked it immediately to stop any damage to the dial or the mechanism. Picking it up on Monday, an expensive lesson :)

Make sure you post some pictures once you get it back!

[Fourstardust]

So my BLNR is back, crystal replaced looking good :) so happy I stopped it pretty much immediately after I dropped it otherwise it would have been a much costlier exercise. Thanks to Giovanni for the work and the speed - dropped off Friday, ready Monday.

Hi,

Does anyone know the difference between the style # 116710B and 116710BLNR? My friend and I both have the Rolex GMT Master II with black/blue ceramic dial but different information on our warranty cards.

Thanks!

got mine back from the RSC after crystal swap to get the right magnification

[toneafficianado]

The blue ceramic is mesmerising!

Did you ask for more magnification or did they put the wrong one in from the start?

[sgmgolf]

I joined.....and darn happy I did! Really love the BLNR.

[ericg]

Super nice. I've joined also. I bought a new one from DavidSW and now waiting for my friend to bring it over to Bkk in a few weeks. The wait is not easy!

Looks good. They went with the same smaller magnification for the replacement. I'm starting to believe the newer GMTs are supposed to have a smaller magnification then the subs as that is the way most of them I've seen tend to be. Ocasionaly I see a sub with the smaller mag and a GMT with a larger one. I wonder what Rolex intends for these to be?

To be honest I hadn't paid attention to it. One thing that was said to me was that there is now an AR coating on the OUTSIDE of the cyclops ? I thought that the AR was under the cyclops but he was insistent that the AR on the new crystals is on the outside - given that the cyclops is raised this doesn't seem like a good idea as surely it's more likely to scratch ?

[richard371]

I'm not sure about that as it's supposed to be under the cyclops only. As far as the magnification who knows what's correct for the GMT but It seems most are the smaller one so maybe that what rolex intends for them to be.

I don't know if it is the "honeymoon" phase, but I can't stop staring at this beauty.

[crown1081]

Beautiful watch! I just joined the club and it should be on its way this week. Just out of curiosity, any of you guys who bought from AD able to get any sort of "price consideration" on the BLNR?

[4srolex]

Finally found one and joined the club with a factory Rolex winder
