Incoming grail
I know many wouldn't consider it a grail in their eyes, but after seeing it in pictures over and over and over, the GMT Master was a must have for me. It started with my fascination of the 5 digit reference, but after seeing the LN with the Ceramic Bezel, I knew I had to have it. This is not my first crown, the first was my 16570 Polar which met it's unfortunate end at the bottom of a lake due to a freak accident.. but thanks to DavidSW for supplying this gorgeous piece, I now have the 116710LN in my hands to keep forever.

Congrats, it's a fabulous watch
Same here. Owned mine for over ten years now and I think it's just perfect.

Exceptional choice. If I were to only have one watch, it would be the gmt black bezel. Enjoy it.

Beautiful. Underrated in that configuration. That is quite possibly the best “one watch only” that Rolex offers. Enjoy!
