Rolex GMT-Master II Owner Review : Completed, symbolic and versatile

Everyone remembers Séguéla: "If you don't have your Rolex at 50, it's because you haven't succeeded in life" which is totally false, but for my 47th birthday, I finally started looking for my future Rolex. I needed it, black, with a date, neither diver nor chronograph, being used to quite imposing watches, I turned away from the datejust to go for a GMT, I understood that it would not be easy... On the advice of Cédric and Stéphane during their respective "small watches between friends", I decided to go for a recent second-hand reference less popular and therefore less expensive. So I chose a 116710LN, because it combined all my criteria and had the advantage of no longer being manufactured. The classicism of a Submariner combined with the presence of the GMT. There, something is happening. I understood quite quickly why Rolex dominated its market, in a few months, it imposed itself in my collection, whereas until then, none of my watches had taken the upper hand. Why? Classic, it knows how to be discreet. Dressed up, it knows how to be sparkling or provocative. Weekends, and holidays, it becomes sporty. The sound of its second hand, the blue light of the Chromalight, the detail of its dial and its engravings on its edge, the hand and the inscription GMT master II in the Rolex color, the precision of its movement and perhaps even the image it projects on me. It definitely wears its crown well. It's crazy, I can't wait to be 50 to treat myself to a second Rolex, but this time with the jubilee bracelet and a new complication to complete my collection.
