My first Rolexes 116710 & 116520!

Asked for some recommendations a month ago on the forum and decided to go with a GMT Master II ceramic.

When I went to picked up my new 116710, surprisingly the AD had new 116520 in stock (had a choice of black or white dial). I went with the black.

Just a few pics:

You have the best of both worlds with both of those pieces. That would be the ultimate duo for me; I have the GMT II C and absolutely love this watch!!!
