Snow-Dweller · 20 March 2016, 06:18 AM

Why?

Nice date wheel by the way.

HogwldFLTR · 20 March 2016, 06:18 AM

With a green stinger maybe the green hornet.

Thanks!

Why not? It would be nice to call it the "something".

The wheel was installed by Dallas RSC

DCheeta · 20 March 2016, 06:21 AM

GMT Master II or 116710LN. Both awesome names, and also happens to be what Rolex calls them.

Great watch, by the way!

Bafflingbs · 20 March 2016, 06:21 AM

Globe Trotter

AgentHsu · 20 March 2016, 06:28 AM

Megatron

superstarmar · 20 March 2016, 06:45 AM

What about " 2 time Blackie "

I think it's got a ring to it and it makes sense ...
2 time zones , eh ?

Snow-Dweller · 20 March 2016, 06:53 AM

Here's an idea....you could call it "Ellen".

WHAT?!?! First off, it looks great! That's a nice touch that ought to be factory! Second, how in the world were you able to get them to do that? Did you need to escalate the issue? Or they just did?? I've read on the forums here that RSC not only does NOT do stuff like that, but if you were to send your Rolex in for service with say a roulette or green date wheel, they would remove it. How did you manage this?

Looks great!

GMTiiC is not hard to write and everyone understands that it's the LN vs BLNR

I'm surprised RSC would install a green date wheel. I was under the impression it has to be an original option for the model??

Thanks for the comments. I sent it to Dallas RSC for warranty repair. When the watch came back, it had a green date wheel. I called them back and they told me they made a mistake, that the green wheel only comes with the 116718LV.

Rolex has acknowledged the mistake and it is documented on their service database. They told me to send it back to change it and I said hell no! I am not waiting 8 more weeks. Never mind I have 4 Rolex...
Rolex indicated that they will change it during the next service.

Here is the thread for reference:

Great thread!

It's a shame they won't let you keep it next service or offer it to the rest of us. I'd def go to an independant CW21 with a Rolex parts account for your next service. I'm going to hit up my guy to see if he can do this to mine! Changes the whole watch for me. I fell back in love with mine after seeing the thread. I was thinking of letting mine go for a new DaytonaC500SS or whatever it's being called. If I can have a green date wheel installed, def keeping it and just coming out more for the DayC when I can finally have one (not holding my breath for this year).

Excellent!

It is amazing to see how a small detail like that makes an otherwise bland watch spark again...

As far a a nick name, my suggestion is rather long. "No words needed, mic drop, boom"

GMT. The nicknames are flat out silly.

Dusko.Popov · 20 March 2016, 08:12 AM

The date wheel is very cool.

Did you stop and think, though, before you made this thread? What is the obsession with nicknames? It is just not becoming of the Rolex nameplate in my opinion.
