But the all black ceramic GMT has it’s very own cool factor to it. Especially as it gets older and a bit beat up. And the collection needs that, so it’s great to see a more discrete, more tactical GMT being available at the AD again.
I think there is a divide between those who knew of the all black with green hand and those newer to Rolex who expect a GMT to be blue and red and green and all in bright colours.

I’m sure you will be getting money back to you if trading a SS BLRO for this new one.

love it, in my opinion its the best GMT of them all. I prefer the understated look but just wish it had come with glidelock.

Are you saying we’re getting old?

love my subdate but really like this new model and would find a GMT hand a great feature, however I also really like the glidelock.

Just read the new Tudor GMT's have been shrunk in terms of thickness so maybe one of those and keep my sub as being realistic I can't see my Rolex AD offering me one of these anytime soon !

They will still sell everyone they make to folks on a list. Still a beautiful watch nonetheless, but the green…should have been red.

I already have the 116710LN, and I am not sure if the two-tone 126710GRNR is different enough to add to my collection.

Not sure what Rolex was thinking. Perhaps, this will rekindle the interest or memories in some of us to buy and appreciate this model.

It's not too different from the all black bezel

Why does the GMT dial always have to be black... at least offer a blue, white dial to mix things up a bit.

Still not feeling it. Should’ve just kept it all black and released the LN with the updated movements

Totally underwhelmed. Want a 42mm GMT BLRO with brushed Oyster bracelet and glidelock--would be perfect.

I like it. It’s more classy looking than the rest of the lineup. They probably chose green GMT hand because it’s Rolex color. I think it will do well.

At a quick glance, it is hard for me to distinguish the new from my 11 series LN.

Love this new version, the subtle bezel color scheme , the green GMT hand and the oyster…… just wish they had slimmed down the lugs / widened the bracelet like the subs
