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.

Hello all,

I have just purchased GMT-Master II 116710LN recently from an AD, I like the watch so far, especially from its look. However, I noticed that I could not set the time at 11:45 PM without changing the date and GMT hand. First, I set the GMT hand and minute hand, then I tried to set the hour hand at 11:45 PM but I noticed that the date would change instantly. I have brought it to the RSC but I still find the same issue now after leaving the watch for about two weeks.

Has anyone found the same issue with the date change? Thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers

with a new bracelet again

I didn't get accustomed to the original bracelet.
First I tried a Rubber B model, a complete waste of money. After just a couple of months both! loops fell apart. Without them the tang buckle was unusable. So I wrote to Rubber B and nicely asked them to get me replacements.
Their answer was: "20 USD + 30 USD to send to Norway". After that their product ended up in the garbage. Looked quite worn too.
For a while I have tried a Hirsch Ayrton in blue now. I combined it with custom band strap end links and voila...
So far I am very pleased with the comfort, fit, haptics and the look.

Where did you get the end links from ?

I now have my eyes on a 16710 and have decided my first PM piece will be the YG GMT.

This site was a dangerous place to stumble upon

Really great shots! I have a 16700 myself quite like this one and love it. If I had to drop back to just one Rolex, this would it. Must be one of the best looking they ever turned out!
