Great and thanks. Model number should have one more 1 and read 116710BLNO instead?

I'm already trying to think of a story to tell the wife on why I bought another watch ! I will be hard to lay off this one.

The also added Chromalight lume. I don't think it has the Glidelock clasp, though.

Only changes are the color of the bezel, hands and name. |

This one is equally beautiful like all the other models from the Rolex,,simply grgeous..but i'd like to mention that don't you guys think that Rolex is sticking to a same design and they should make some major tweaks in the design department..all the watches look more or less same and are not much distinct from each other.

I think this is a beautiful watch. I've always wanted a GMTII. I've been aching for a Pepsi, but I'm liking the new Black/Blue a lot. I have one on hold for me until next week. I may have to sell my first every Rolex to fund this purchase though, a Submariner I bought in 2005.

on press photos it looks ok, not beter than the LN.
I never liked the font on the bezel. Photos of the new GMT in real life are worse than i could imagine. I hope one day they will make a black red bezel with the old style font, then it would be a perfect watch. |
