Just bought the GMT, have I made the right choice?
Hi guys I have been reading through the forums for a while as I have always wanted to buy a Rolex. Anyway I just paid the deposit and I going to pick up my Rolex GMT master 116710LN with black bezel and I am really excited!! Definitely the sexiest Rolex imo apart from the all gold version of course!! I pick her up next week!

Yep, good choice. The GMT is a Rolex icon and there's much love for it around here.

You made the right call but I'm biased.

I wanted to go for an everyday watch and I just think the GMT's polished centre links and ceramic bezel look better than a submariner?

You certainly have! Congratulations! I debated between the LN and BLNR, and chose the latter, but it could have easily gone the other way.
It looks like there's another thread on the same topic http://rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=422349. You might consider asking the mods to keep only one of them.

Did you make the right choice going with the GMT? No question about it. You absolutely did make the right choice. Here's a pic of my favorite watch:

Why two threads on the same exact subject?
