Thank you very much. Got lucky and called my AD an hour after they received it and said it's mine if I could swing over within an hour. Done deal.

^This. All the way.

By the way, I thought a snowflake was a style of hour hand used by Tudor on its Sub.

I love them all. The LN was the second Rolex I bought, however, after a while, I flipped it. Big mistake as after missing it for 2 months, I bought another one.

I bought my polar 216570 earlier this year as it was one I have always wanted for 20+ years. I have always been drawn towards the sub and had expressed my interest with my AD and received the call twice for one, but just had to pass as it wasn’t the time. I was fortunate to get a 3rd call when he received an LN so I went to look at it and it was “the one”. So happy I passed on the sub as I like the LN so much more. And I think it compliments my polar perfectly.

Big fan of the GMT in any variation.

That looks great. Did you fly the Jubilee in from the BLRO, or is that from another source?

Also, does that thing taper less than an Oyster, or is it an optical illusion?

[Nikrnic]

That jubilee looks great on the Blnr. I bought my Polar earlier this year being my first Gmt then wanting an Ln but thinking it may be redundant to my SubC I bought a Blnr. I love reading on the Gmt history even more than the Submariners. 4/5/6 digit, they're all cool. Personally I'm a 6 digit fan.

Quite a double thread gents!

[Dr.Smellody]

Love my 167188!

I love the BLNR but after a week of wearing it solid I was happy to have my Sub on again. Only thing I would say is they are a little busy and a little blingy compared to say a Sub. Not that that's bad, sometimes life is a little busy and a little blingy.

[westcoastghost]

My view of the GMT is only from behind my computer. I have tried two local ADs here in Southern California, one asked that I buy a ton of random jewelry before I can maybe get a call for any GMT someday, and the other was extremely rude, didn't want to sell any watches at first, said there is no list, but would take my name and maybe call eventually someday for a BLNR :-/

[ltmgeller]

I love the GMT line. Pepsi Red and Blue are my favorite.

Nice! I’ve been trying to find a 62600 or 63600 super jubilee for a year with no luck.

Buy from a TS, then go back to one of the ADs and have them size it. They'll ask, "Did you buy it from us?" And you'll say, "I tried to, but you wouldn't sell me one. It's OK if you charge me for the sizing. I can afford it, since I didn't buy a crapload of jewelry I didn't want just to get you to take my money for the thing I did want." You'll feel as vindicated as Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.

Thirded! I love my GMT LN but it makes it really hard to build a Rolex collection. It's complication, along with being so blingy yet understated with just the perfect hint of color, makes it a perfect everyday watch.

If I had gotten a BLNR I think it would've been much easier to pair – say with a LV – because they're so much louder with color, which is awesome initially but could get a little tiring after a while. And when you do get tired, just pop on the other colorful watch and start over again.

With the LN, I'm never tired of it enough to really want to take it off.

With that said, LOVE Dnf888 GMT set. That's definitely one way to do it. All GMTs. Inspired.

[Bladeshot]

I am biased, and I consider the GMT complication to be a very versatile, classic. I can have both an oyster and a jubilee bracelet on the 16710. I can have an all black, or pepsi or a coke insert and I can change the insert in less than 60 seconds. 6 watches in one for the GMT Master II 16710 in my Avatar. No other Rolex is quite as flexible. And the ceramic version, while lovely, does not allow the owner to charge the insert at all. Happy hunting. That’s the best part for me.

Love that Polar. And love the GMT. OP, get your hands on one.

[Justindo]

The GMT-II is a great looking and very versatile watch. I'd try for a BLRN if I were you. You probably won't see one in a display case but the wait for a first time buyer probably won't be over a few months.

I'm a GMT fan. More so than Submariners lately. If you compare the 116710LN to the 116610LN, you get more with the GMT. I'm a fan of the numbers on the GMT bezel opposed to the plain one on the Submariner.

[ferrissteve11]

Was never a huge GMT fan, but I tried a number of different brands GMT/Explorer style watches and appreciated the complication. And once the BLNR was released...well I knew it was only a matter of time. I appreciate the look of the older GMT's but greatly prefer the updates with the Maxi Case especially the larger crown.

the bracelet is a 63600 reference originally from a DJ 116234. I'd love to get my hands on the new style jubilee from the BLRO. I actually love the hidden claps, but I would love to have the EZlink and flip lock. While I really want to own the BLRo, I think if i could get the bracelet and pair it with my BLNR I'd be perfectly happy.

I think when it comes down to the connection on the clasp the jubilee might be very slightly thinner than the oysterclasp but if anything, it's minuscule.

You need to find a new AD. The local one I support here in Northern Virginia would never play such games. Great people there. I'm sure I'm not alone despite all the stories here on these forums. Good luck! The GMT is a great watch if you're a traveler. None better in my opinion.

Thank you, thank you very much. (In the tone of Elvis).

THE absolute Rolex.
I am talking about the 16710 obviously.
