I can’t vote for the ‘most popular’.
I won’t know which one it is until the poll closes.

I can’t vote for my favourite GMT as it is not on the list.

116713LN.

Yes I should have added other options as a choice, but too late now. Anyway most probably no other models will beat the top 4. If anyone likes another model please mention it in the comments.

I love the 16710 the last of the non ceramic . Much prefere it to the maxi case stuff above
The coke on the jubilee is fantastic
The pepsi on the jubilee is beautiful
The black bezel is so understated..a watch for the under radar traveller

I am sure the 16710 is a very popular GMT model
As is the 1675 with its plexi glass.. again a popular modal .. a classic

Too late the name already stuck. Even if I didn't call it Batgirl most people do. You should grow up, it's just a nickname for a beautiful reference to differentiate it from the previous model.

The 116710LN my favorite with BLRO being the runner up. Overall GMT’s are probably my favorite from Rolex.

It’s a tough choice between 126710 BLRO and 116710 LN. I also like the gold and TT LNs particularly the green dial.

I would own any of the above, and do own the first two. The others I didn’t mention I’d consider but don’t know.

Batman. I am biased. I have owned mine for a week and love it. I will be sending my AD a Christmas card.

I own the BLNR, BLRO and the CHNR. To me the best all around is the BLNR but the CHNR is a dressy, sexy sports model.

To be honest, my preference would be for the 16700 or 16710 GMT - not a huge fan of the ceramics.

I would give the slightest of nods to the BLRO over the CHNR. But, if push came to shove, it would really depend on a lot of other factors if I had to get rid of one of them.
