There’s one in stock where I’m currently traveling. Very tempted to purchase this one to pair with my rg dd40.

It might be the underdog nowadays, but I still love my LN! Then again, I think I'm a sucker for GMTs though (awaiting patiently for a BLNR to arrive)

I tried one on recently and it definitely was more comfortable than the SubC I was wearing at the time.
It's just ever so slightly too busy for me with the large numbering on the bezel and the PCLs. It's definitely not off the table though. Very cool piece. |

It was the first Rolex with cerachrome in a SS model
But subdued but is the more “tool-y” of the bunch Also a considerable discount for half a blue bezel |

I love mine as well, but have since started wearing it on a Rubber B, because I was tired if scuffing the PCLs!

Agreed it is a fine watch.. was my first and only (so far) Rolex and if I was going to be a "one watch guy" i needed a watch that was not as ubiquitous as a sub, but also served multiple functions and has a true complicated movement... the GMTc checks all those boxes for me ....
and since the other two models are taking the shine right now, i was able to pick one up for a little less than an arm and a leg!!! |

Definitely think the GMT LN is a beauty. Had the chance to buy one at my local AD a month ago. I’m waiting for BLNR however and couldn’t justify having 2 very similar GMT watches. My ideal would be BLNR and SubC date (prefer the brushed links and glide lock).

I’ve always overlooked it since BLNR and SubC usually take all the spotlight, but the GMT LN certainly deserves its own place in a collection. And honestly I feel like it is gaining more popularity after the shortage started and getting the credit it deserves.
Btw OP, what is your wrist size? It looks like a 44mm on your wrist..

Very much underrated - was my first and no regrets. Sits more comfortably than the SubC for me because of the smaller case back. I guess in the rarefied forum atmosphere this is the one that sits under the radar in the SS realm. To me this is a bit of shame because it oozes class, and provides an extremely useful complication. I have always been slightly perplexed why the BLNR gets such a rabid "fanboy" following in comparison.

It goes everywhere. Boats, boardrooms and boarding

Classic beauty and a perfect all around watch.
I guess traditionally the GMT LN even with the previous 16710 were less popular than the Pepsi & Coke versions. |

I'd prefer a bicolor GMT, but the LN was the only one available more than 10 yrs ago, and it has served me well

I love these watches but could never pull the trigger because of the PCL. I thought about brushing the links out but was concerned I might take it to someone that didn’t know what they were doing. Do you think any AD will be willing to do this?

I like a lot the LN, but principally the 5-digit!!! I think that is better than the BLRO or BLRN
