Review of the Rolex 116710 BLNR GMT-Master II

BLNR is scarce as hens teeth from Rolex boutiques and agents here in Europe. On a trip I found the last available new GMT in Berlin ( an LN) but couldn't pass up on the one and only new BLNR in Rome and grabbed it, too. Getting VAT reclaim lessens the sting.

I have a Pepsi and will shop next for a clean Coke. Then I shall stop on the GMT's. They are all just so pretty. As a practical matter, the LN blends in seamlessly as a daily driver in a suit and I have seen identical pieces in the wild on weekly international travel.

The GMT is the only modern tool watch that you can and should use daily for what it was intended. Unless you actually go caving with Explorer, dive deep with Submariner/ Sea Dweller or work on a particle accelerator with Milgauss, the GMT checks the utility and desirability boxes. The rabid collectability and resale don't hurt either.
