Rolex Gmt II - Advice for my collection

[BigAppleBill]

You already own perhaps one of the ultimate GMTs ever made. It looks awesome! If you’re looking to add a second watch, why are you going immediately for another GMT? Why not a Sub or Daytona or DD or a dress watch? I personally wouldn’t add a second GMT unless your collection already includes a few other types of watches. That’s my honest advice.

It's clear you don't deserve the new Pepsi lol.

If you can get both. assess and sell the one o the three you feel doesn't make the cut

[Andrew NYC]

I think there’s an argument for acquiring all three!

Dam those fat lugs are atrocious compared to the old model

I have a wonderful 16760 R serial full set, with two oyster 78360 endlinks 501 and jubilee 50 endlinks 502 bracelets.
I agree with you, vintage is magnificent but my doubt is on bezel of the two news ceramic.

Sorry but 16700 is not for flip.
I'm waiting for a 116610LV Sub, but now i'm just thinking about which of the two Gmt to choose

A good idea It would certainly differentiate the collection but with 3186 caliber i have an Explorer II 16570 RRR, i want a 3285 new caliber watch.

If you are going grey I would do BLNR for Variety and you can save a couple grand.

Only via official AD, i hate grey and here in Italy unofficial prices are very very high...

I also believe that BLNR will arrive sooner, they are delivering more but i want to be convinced in the choice.

I have a BLNR on Oyster and if I was adding to my collection I would go the opposite for some variety either the BLRO on jubilee or the White Gold version - if I was in the money at the time :-)

White gold is more expensive for me, unfortunately...

I am in a waitlist for the new BLRO, skippered the BLNR altogether but I have also since added a CHNR.

But for a daily I’d go LN.

LN not for me! CHNR, find it it a fantastic watch

If you're going to keep the 16700, get the batgirl. Otherwise, ceramic Pepsi all the way.

I have more other watches, besides the Gmt 16700 and 16760 that i showed have also a Submariner 14060M, an Sea Dweller 16600 V serial, two Explorer II 16570 (white dial S serial and black dial V serial), a 14270 Explorer, a new Deepsea 126660 black dial, Datejus 16014... Then Tudor BB, Longines, Seiko, Zenith and more.
Now i'd like to continue collection of the new ceramic Rolex with differences from those i already have

Yes, my 16700 is not for sale, never.
I love the ceramic BLRO , but i'm afraid that after buying it he will see it too similar to my old boy...

Both good choices. The Blnr works for me.

I think the one you have is more desirable than both the BLRO and BLNR.

[VegasMilgauss]

The Batgirl has such a negative/confused vibe about it (only my opionion!) so for me I would get the newer version of your stunning GMT.

What about a four digit?

The 1675 is one of my fave references, and a great addition to any collection. I wear mine every Friday, I think I've worn my BLNR twice since new...its too chunky if I'm going to be honest, the GMT was originally designed to slip under a pilot's double cuff, the giant case of the ceramic models is just a bit ... inelegant? What do you guys think?

If you are oyster oriented in the poll, rate 126710BLNR

[SoCal_Batman]

You can't go wrong with the BLNR, it's absolutely stunning and would complement your other BLRO nicely !

Nice photo

[AntoMeRolexPassion]

After three days Batman is in little advantage, interesting.
Same poll in Italy would have given the absolute winner Pepsi

I agree. I wore my explorer 2 , same 3186 movement but slimmer profile, for that very reason. Plus it’s a bit lighter. The GMT2 sat at home..

Buy both!

[Yaz]

Sweet !
I have a 16710 Coke and have added a 126710 BLNR...I am considering also adding a Pepsi.
The question : I love the 1675...but hard to find a good one at a fair price at the moment, so I went to my AD for a GMT 126710 BLRO...we will see...

All that just to say, the more you have GMTs, the better it is...even if, to be honest, 2 bracelets and 3 bezel can easily replace 6 GMTs...
Ahahahahah
