Incoming - Rolex GMT Master 2

Just picked up this from my AD. I have always wanted a GMT watch in my collection. SS Rolex are hard to come by but I am happy my AD come good on this.

I have the option of getting the BLNR but choose this instead. I prefer it's more understated appearance and love that green GMT hand. Very "Rolex".

Will make a good pair with my DD40 YG. Haven't got time to do more proper shots so this is quick snapshot.

Congratulations. The LN is a great watch. Like you, I prefer it to the BLNR.

Have to agree, I was comparing mine today and the black looks so much better than the BLNR.

LN looks better and is more versatile vs the BLNR when paired with a black nato but that chromalight lume certainly pops nicely with the polished center link bracelett.
