I avoid selling to WF unless a very popular model, but if they have the watch you want it is all so easy to deal with them.

Thinking of adding a Hulk for a little change of color now, haha.
I just got my first Rolex, Explorer I. Plan to add BLNR or a new coke GMT (if released) in a year...

Nice GMT! We go through the gamut, plenty of great watches out there but Rolex has stayed closest to my heart for years.

Great choice!! The LN is on my short list too. I like the BLNR but like you said I guess I have a conservative streak I didn't know about either. My 16710 was in all black as well.

Congrats on a great looking GMT-IIc LN! This was my first Rolex purchase in '08. I know the love these days is generally for the BLNR and BLRO, but the LN has a classy understated look with just a hint of the Rolex green color as an accent. Wear it in good health. Cheers!
