Great and thanks. Model number should have one more 1 and read 116710BLNO instead?

If only the black part of the bezel was red.... a man can dream.

I'm already trying to think of a story to tell the wife on why I bought another watch ! I will be hard to lay off this one.

The also added Chromalight lume. I don't think it has the Glidelock clasp, though.

This one is equally beautiful like all the other models from the Rolex,,simply grgeous..but i'd like to mention that don't you guys think that Rolex is sticking to a same design and they should make some major tweaks in the design department..all the watches look more or less same and are not much distinct from each other.

I think this is a beautiful watch. I've always wanted a GMTII. I've been aching for a Pepsi, but I'm liking the new Black/Blue a lot. I have one on hold for me until next week. I may have to sell my first every Rolex to fund this purchase though, a Submariner I bought in 2005.

on press photos it looks ok, not beter than the LN.
I never liked the font on the bezel. Photos of the new GMT in real life are worse than i could imagine. I hope one day they will make a black red bezel with the old style font, then it would be a perfect watch. |
