For six digit SS, it's BLRO for me, although I much prefer the look of the WG BLRO. The depth of the PM lustre and the Oyster bracelet suit it perfectly to my eyes. My favourite of the whole range is the TT CHNR.

For me, best steel = 116710BLNR. I'm waiting for a BLRO

BLRO. It's classic with the bezel colors a nod to the original Ref. 6542.

Oyster variants win for me with the LN being the overall winner. I should not have sold the LN when I got the 117618. Hindsight is always 20/20, but it helped to justify it at the time

That said, I very much prefer my GMT in gold over steel :-)

I love everything about my BLNR ... the bezel, bracelet, versatility. I want to love the BLRO but I just can't get on board with the red and blue that seem slightly off. I think I dress too casually for the two-tone CHNR, but that is a real looker - love it!

My two favorites by choice and Thanks to my AD for both. The 16710 gets the win for me over the 6 dgt. It's a full set trade he took back in from new and knew I was looking for one before he even offered me a Blnr and then surprised me the most a year later with that call.

Agreed! In the early days, that's how I called it, GMTIIC or GMT2C. Things changed when the Batman came out and it's no longer the only GMTIIC

Batman Oyster or Pepsi Jubilee. Very hard call.

BLRO. 2 years ago I naively called around trying to source one without knowing a thing of the hype. I might be getting close to getting one finally.
