Rolex GMT Master 116710 BLNR BATMAN review​

Just arrived

Here we have a mint Rolex GMT Master 11 BLNR

A very rare watch with this model now being discontinued.

This was introduced by Rolex to the GMT sports watches range in 2013 and since then has been one of Rolex’s best selling sports models.

The colour combination works really well and it is very popular with owners who may have had an earlier GMT Master and now want to upgrade to the new model with Ceramic bezel.

Powering the watch is an automatic chronometer movement ensuring high levels of accuracy from a mechanical movement

It is finished in 904L grade stainless steel with the center links in the bracelet polished to give it an elegant yet sporty look. Rolex took years to develop combining two colours into their ceramic bezel and this was their first version which has since been followed by a blue/red bezel on the 18k white gold model.

It has a 40mm case so these days it is almost a unisex size. The bracelet has an easylink extension which is really useful for higher temperatures when your wrist expands.
