I feel like the 40mm GMT2 is the smallest size watch that looks good on my 7 3/4" wrist. I used to be all about large wrist presence, but at some point I became interested in a more balanced look. So while 40mm still works for me, I think 42mm would be ideal.

I wanted to post some better pictures. I bought a 116710 on Thursday of last week and absolutely love the time piece. The deployment clasp makes it fit like a glove as I wear my Rolex tight on my wrist. Here are the pics I have so far. Cheers!

Just got this 2 days ago. I can't believe I finally own a Rolex. Love the GMT. It's such a classic.

Wouldn't it be great if Rolex could do this with the new GMT. It would be an instant best seller.

Springer found me the Fat Lady last week to complete my GMT collection. He also helped me with the Root Beer and the Pepsi. Thanks again John.

Congrats on the SkyDweller, it's a beautiful piece.
