Great story and congratulations on your watch and 10th Anniversary! My wife and I have got each other Rolexes for our upcoming 10th and I also went GMT with a 16710.

Enjoy in good health!

Great question! Albatross hit the nail on its head below. To build on that- the LN is more conservative for professional environments and dressier than the bi-colored bezels - so if I were to choose one Rolex the 116710LN would be it.

Wear it in good health! That's a watch that can last you a lifetime.

Yeah I had considered a sub or SD but I realized that I really would like a multiple time zone complication since I travel quite a bit and have friends around the world I’d like to stay better connected with. The GMT is also a bit less common and I love the green hand and dial text! Can’t go wrong with a sub if you don’t need the GMT complication though!

Very nice indeed! Congratulations on your great looking GMT LN! This is the same watch I purchased as my first Rolex in 2009. It has given me 10 great years of enjoyment. Still accurate to +2 sec/day. Stay warm in Chicago and enjoy your new Rolex in great health. Cheers!
