Incoming 116718LN - GMT Collection now COMPLETE!

[365DAS]

I’ve been on a mission recently to try and pick up a 116718LN as I had let this reference slip through the net when it was discontinued! I’ve been wanting to try and get my hands on a late production year so that it still had some balance of warranty left but more importantly, as close to “Unworn” as possible.

I started my hunt in my home country, even went as far as Italy to get one but got cold feet as the seller seemed to behave suspiciously so didn’t go ahead with the purchase. I eventually spoke to my AD and they even alerted their preowned department to keep an eye as well as some independent dealers they know. Eventually they got in contact and offered me a preowned one but did also state that there was one that they knew had minimum wrist time as they had been in touch with one of their regular customers who rotates their watches frequently in order to find their next purchase. Anyway, long story short...I’ve finally have one and have just had it hand delivered by them (very good of them with everything that is going on in the world during this time) and I couldn’t have been happier!








For me, my GMT collection is complete as I’ve got all the Maxi Case ones that I would want to have. Yes, I could add a Blue or original black dial WG Pepsi but I’ve got the one WG variant I like the most. Was now waiting to see if another GMT release would be added to the line up but looks as though we’re going to have to wait a few months or potentially next January...who knows at this rate!

Wow the three middle on bottom row are just exceptional rolexes.


Congrats on the new GMT it looks amazing. I always wanted a green dial gmt but got the green Daytona instead.

These may be too hard to source unworn at this point

Cheers pal!

Don’t think I will as I have the Steel/RG CHNR and the RG SARU already (which in essence is the same watch but the with the gem bezel) so effectively have that watch but split over 2 watches!

You would just be missing the RG CHNR. Congrats!

Have to admit, if there was ONE watch I could keep then for me it would be a GMT in terms of practical functionality. Yes, the Sky-Dweller has a better complication by also having the Annual element but the sporty case of a GMT makes it more wearable...but that is if it was my one watch!

My exact first grail and one that I regret not buying new when it was still available.
