I think the most beautiful GMT ever made is the TT CHNR, the color scheme on that one is just awesome.

126711CHNR (It's 1/2 SS, so it sort of works in response to your question.)
If I had to pick just SS, I'd go with the BLRO. I previously owned the 116710BLNR and it didn't stick.

126710blnr. Rolex got absolutely everything right with this one. From color, bracelet, case, and dial.

Love this one. (Not my photo) I own the 116710ln quite boring when it comes to colour myself so prefer this version over the other two modern ss ones :) |

BLRO - it is the original, historic, GMT reference. It has always been, and will forever be, the iconic GMT watch.

116710LN I foolishly sold this one several years ago. It is now discontinued and selling at a premium I am unwilling to pay.

I own the CHNR and BLNR and cannot decide between the two. Good question!

For 6 digit, hands down it's the 116710LN. Fell in love the first time I saw it.

Does anyone know if the oyster bracelet will fit the Pepsi BLRO? Does the jubilee have a different size SEL or are the springbars in a slightly different position?
There's a new oyster bracelet for sale right now in the classifieds. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk |

I do go back and forth about whether I'd prefer the center links to be polished or not; in practice they are much more susceptible to visible scratches/wear, but aesthetically I think they succeed at adding a touch of class and dressiness that further cements the flexibility of the watch across attires and occasions. |

I love all of them equally, so I have TT CHNR, Batman and Pepsi and am still waiting for WG Pepsi with Meteorite dial.

I like the BLNR just works well. To be honest whatever one you get they’re all nice.
The crazy thing is that Rolex has made all of us honk we need to own more than one of these pieces. Change a bezel inset and colour of the GMT hand, all of a sudden it’s a must have. I’m starting to realize how retarded this hobby is and starting to put the Rolex brand lower on my list Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
