Icon3 116710LN, 116610LN or 116610LV

Dear rolex enthusiasts :p

during planning for a summer vacation in europe I came up with a nice idea is to buy a rolex from the main branch in switzerland, the question is WTB rolex in swiss ? -_-"

because when i did research i found only the HQ.

map link:

also i'm confused between the following watches:

- GMT Master II 116710LN

- Submariner 116610LN Black Dial

- Submariner 116610LV Green Dial

Please Advice.

"73" Best Regards.

All the watches chosen are fine its all down to personal choice try them all on if you can then choose.But in general Switzerland is one of the most expensive countries to buy a Rolex watch there are several ADs in Switzerland..73.

I agree.

I've owned them as well and the LVC will be the last to go if ever.

Black face , Green Bezel - gets my vote.

I do agree though that Switzerland is rather expensive - so you may prefer to take a look at surrounding countries?

Good Luck
