INCOMING...! The most beautiful watch I've ever had on my wrist!

I've tried on just about every modern Rolex on the market, including all SS, TT, and all gold models. In my eyes, the 216570 black dial is the most beautiful watch I've ever had on my wrist and now I'm a proud owner. I think the all-brushed look is stunning. The orange text and 24hr hand provides a beautiful contrast against the black dial. The 42mm case fits my 6'6" frame perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this piece! I believe the 216570 is the perfect modern Rolex. I can now say I have a collection as I now have 2 Rolexes and I believe they compliment each other perfectly.

Totally agree! 216570 in black is awesome and is still the tool watch amongst modern Rolex range. Had mine for around 8 months now and really love it.
