Incoming GMT

Last weekend I was able to make a great deal on a 116710 BLNR.
It makes a great pair with my 16710!

Hey Philippe,

Huge congratulations on the BLNR! That’s such a fantastic pick-up, and pairing it with a 16710 makes for an awesome duo. You’ve got both the classic and the modern looks covered, which is a dream for any GMT lover.

The 16710 is already such a versatile watch, but adding the BLNR gives you that extra pop with the black and blue bezel – it really stands out. Plus, the way the BLNR wears with a bit more weight and presence definitely brings a different experience compared to the 16710.

Enjoy them both! Looking forward to seeing some wrist shots of the pair together!

Cheers!

I am in the camp that GMT Master is the finest watch in Rolex lineup. Nothing else comes close for me.

Just perfect combination of dimensions, class, utility and appearance.

Enjoy them that is an awesome pair.

Great combo! Similar enough, but completely different at the same time.

Love it

Great pair.... love the versatility of the 16710.... how often to you swap the inserts out and do you do that yourself?

I picked up the new version of the BLNR a few weeks ago and love it, although it hasn't had much wrist time to really give a true impression of it.... but know that I'll love it more and more
