They have to make the LN with the new movement next year right?

Yep both those GMTs gone.

Wonder what it will be worth a year from now? Seeing these between 11 and 15k now.

I am curious whether the rumor is true and there will be no more new black bezel GMTs, because to me the LN looks way better than BLNR.

And I love my 116713, which is in top 3 looking GMT to me.

Mark Webber is still rocking his black bezel GMT on the Rolex site:

I really hope it returns (no doubt with a jubilee) next year

Rolex knows what they are doing, FOMO and absence makes the heart grow fonder. Back in a few years with a new movement and a jubilee bracelet, hotter than ever.

Dropping the Oyster on new GMT’s will definitely keep both 116710 LN and BLNR as good collection pieces in the future.
What really sucks is the unlikelihood that we’d ever get a new gmt at retail plus tax. Anything north of that is the premium and tolerance we all debate over.

What do you think these will sell for 6-12 months from now?

That sounds awesome, but there were rumors LN is too similar to Sub so now all GMT bezels will be bi-color. Interesting if that happens.

Do you think they'll bring the 117610ln back with the new movement (like they did with the Pepsi and Batman) in the next year or two? Discontinued doesn't mean permanent :)

The information already in this thread answers your question. As of now, it appears that Rolex will not be making any more GMTs with single-colour bezels.

Why the head-banging emoji? If I'm being honest, I love when the watches that I own get discontinued. Less people with my watch, and the value goes up...what more can you ask for? :-)

Will be very surprised if they don’t bring back an updated version of the LN at some point in the near future.
