Hi All,

3 years after buying my first Rolex (DJII, 116334) I finally convinced my wife to allow to me buy another.

Looking for a sports model and leaning towards the GMT II All Black

Right Choice?

usood89 · 28 May 2016, 03:33 AM

In the same boat with the GMT II as an option! Its a beautiful watch my friend. Good luck with your decision!

SemperFi · 28 May 2016, 03:34 AM

If it's what you like then it's the right choice. It would complement your DJII nicely.

FTX I · 28 May 2016, 03:38 AM

If that's your choice, yes, it's the right choice.

edit. agree with Angelo above.

Lordofrolex · 28 May 2016, 03:43 AM

GMT IIc is an amazing choice. I would also consider the Sub C reasons being that your DJ II has PCLs and teh GMT IIc also has PCL. I would get the Sub C so i would have one watch which is dresser that has PCL and another which is strictly sporty with a brushed bracelet.

Snow-Dweller · 28 May 2016, 03:46 AM

GMTc LN is a great piece. Those green details are gorgeous. You can always get the PCLs brushed out if you really don't like them.

tommy91 · 28 May 2016, 03:47 AM

I would go subc or hulk or deepsea?

RobJordan · 28 May 2016, 03:49 AM

Can't go wrong with a GMT.

And1dre · 28 May 2016, 03:49 AM

GMT would be perfect choice. Go with what you like

Do you like the BLNR? That is my favorite watch, even over my new Daytona C.

avilhena · 28 May 2016, 03:54 AM

As you already have the DJII for more formal ocasions, I would not go with the GMTc, even though it is a fantastic watch.

But, IMHO, i think a SD4k would be a nice addition. Or, if you want some color, go with the 116610LV

GMT

Slippy Chips · 28 May 2016, 04:12 AM

Mine says "Hi!" Loving mine!

Got mine from TAKUYA for much less than $10k

japenney · 28 May 2016, 05:21 AM

Gmt is a great choice. Would also consider a dagtona

ONLY YOU can/will know if it is......or not.

Daytona88 · 28 May 2016, 05:26 AM

If you like that design, you might consider the BLNR. Just a touch of color perhaps?

ZeKe · 28 May 2016, 05:29 AM

Sounds like your heart is in the right place. Follow your heart lol

pa30crewchief · 28 May 2016, 06:08 AM

GMTII LN IMHO will be the definitive 116710 10 years from now. (Unless Rolex surprises us with a Coke bezel in steel in 2017). BLNR will have its place. Have you considered a 2006 model year 16710? You can have it with any bezel.

GMT BLNR? Under $10K and a splash of color.

fskywalker · 28 May 2016, 12:27 PM

Good choice if you like the thick lugs; the SD4K is another nice choice and its lugs are less thick

JayJ · 28 May 2016, 12:30 PM

Yes it's a great choice! If you want some non PCLs and some color perhaps a steel Pepsi?

Chadridv · 28 May 2016, 12:31 PM

I prefer subs but it's a toss up. The GMT LN is beautiful, I just tend to favor brushed bracelets. Obviously your call though! Either watch is amazing, just need to pick the one that sings to you.
Pre-congrats and congrats on a cool wife!

dave_dave · 28 May 2016, 12:35 PM

Gmt ln is a terrific piece. It would go very well with your current watch.

This! Get what YOU want. Plus, if you shop around, you can find really good deals in the 6 - 7K range. The 116710LN is my first and I would do it all over again. It's just cool old school classic on a new school chassis.

sensui · 28 May 2016, 12:55 PM

Personally it'd be the blnr or Sd4k. But it's your watch... You're missing out on most of the fun, trying watches at ad. Get out there and enjoy.

sickened1 · 28 May 2016, 01:07 PM

Yup, BLNR and SD4K both fall within your budget but if you like the 116710LN then go for it.

Daycruiser · 28 May 2016, 01:28 PM

BLNR is cool.
You could probably snatch mint condition pre owned 116520 Daytona on the grey market with your budget.
Then again you can't go wrong with a GMT
