Newbie alert: Rolex GMT Master II Question

Hi,

I've recently bought a 16610LV and love it. I've had many a nice watch but I now see why a Rolex is a Rolex and anything else just isn't

A while ago I fell for the GMT II 16710 series. The only issue for me was that there is no 60 minute bezel on the watch.

Has anyone ever developed a double-function bezel with 24hr + 60min markings for this watch? I know it's a complete long shot and against purists' views I'm sure but it would make it my perfect watch.

Put your Sub insert in...... It'll fit just fine...........


Of course, you don't need a 60 minute bezel.. Just set the triangle at the minute hand and use the inside 60 minute marks...

I didn't realise the bezels are the same.

The second point makes sense... Makes me think I really just need to buy one and then worry about the timing, rather than ask daft questions

Thanks
