Incoming! Birthday GMT 2

After a 10 year obsession I finally bought myself a GMT 116710LN for my 27th Birthday. It hasn't left my wrist. I also liked the BLNR but glad I went with the Black bezel.

Congrats! Gorgeous piece. Highly considering this as my first as well but obviously going through what everyone does when deciding... WHICH ONE?!? (Sub, GMTIIc, maybe SD43)

Wear it in good health!

I love the hint of green on the dial especially in the sun. It's stunning. And that's saying something because blue is by far my favorite color.

Congratulations. I bought my first Rolex for my 29th birthday. I also purchased the GMT; although it was 34 years ago.

Wear it in good health!
