Nice who did your mods for you? I always wanted to have a GMT with a diving bezel - have ya ever seen a GMT with a sub bezel swap?

Thanks. I bought the OEM parts here on TRF and had my watchmaker in Marseille do the work.

Makes sense and Rolex would sell more watches going this route. If I had a Pepsi I might have spring for a sub but now that I have a LN I don’t feel the urge for a sub.

Cool I’ll ask to see if my watchmaker can do a sub bezel swap!

All Black GMT translates to "Midnight Zulu" .

Good bye green arrow.

The LN was my first Rolex back in 2009 when it was the only SS professional model with the Cerachrom bezel. I've always liked the subtle contrast between the green accents and black. A very versatile and easy to wear reference. Movement has been excellent. Not everyone wants a two color bezel. Not sure if it will be back for a while. I think you'll see a Coke version on jubilee next imho. Cheers!

I think it makes sense to have all GMTs come with bi-coloured bezels, but I’d say the LN is one of the nicest if not the nicest GMT there is. Sad to see it go, and happy to have one.

Yep. I got one just before basel and i am getting that blob off now. Putting a leather strap on also as the steel bacelet is uncomfortable to me.
