In my opinion, this is one of the most versatile watches in the Rolex range.
It adapts to different clothing styles and even better with a change of bracelet but also to uses and contexts.
I am not very careful in any case I like to push the limits of the objects I use, I put it all the time on a boat, diving, mountain biking, in the mountains everywhere.
It is extremely resistant and keeps a timeless design.

the varied ALL ROAD watch from Rolex

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Rolex</strong> brand was created in <strong>1905</strong> in London by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis. It is today based in Geneva, Switzerland, and is recognized worldwide as one of the leading manufacturers of luxury watches. Rolex, <strong>often called the &ldquo;Crown brand&rdquo;</strong>, is synonymous with prestige, innovation and unparalleled reliability in the watchmaking world.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Rolex brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The year 1926 marked an important turning point for the brand with the launch of the first waterproof watch, the Rolex Oyster. The robustness and reliability of this watch were spectacularly demonstrated in 1927 when Mercedes Gleitze, a British swimmer, crossed the English Channel with a Rolex Oyster on her wrist.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In 1945, <strong>Rolex launched the Datejust</strong>, the first automatic watch to indicate the date in a window on the dial. In 1953, Rolex introduced the Submariner watch, capable of withstanding depths of 100 meters. The same year, the brand presented the Explorer watch in homage to the first successful ascent of Everest by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, equipped with Rolex watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, Rolex is behind more than 400 patents, attesting to a perpetual search for improvement to guarantee its models unrivaled reliability. This DNA has allowed the brand to launch models that have marked watchmaking history and often become true myths such as the Rolex Daytona or the Rolex GMT-Master.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its creation and in particular with <strong>exceptional 50s in terms of innovations</strong>, Rolex has continued to launch new models and in particular:</p>

It is famous for displaying both the date and the day of the week in full, in addition to the time. The day of the week is usually indicated in full, adding a distinctive touch to its dial.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Traditionally, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_36"> Day-Date</a> is offered in an 18-carat gold case, whether in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum. This characteristic gives it a luxurious and prestigious look. The Day-Date bracelet called President is an iconic bracelet specially designed for this model, composed of three large and robust semi-circular links. The Rolex Day-Date is equipped with an in-house automatic movement, manufactured by Rolex. These movements are certified Superlative Chronometer for their exceptional precision of -2/+2 seconds per day.</p>

<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Oyster Perpetual is the <strong>epitome of the classic Rolex watch</strong>, with a 28-41mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM meters, Oyster bracelet, caliber 3230 automatic movement, and an electric blue dial with luminous indexes. The Oyster Perpetual or OP is undoubtedly the little sister of the Rolex Datejust with a more discreet identity and a diversity of dials which have evolved over time into multiple colors and tones. The Oyster Perpetual collection models, not escaping the exceptionally strong demand for Rolex watches, are difficult to find, particularly for the most sought-after colors such as &ldquo;Tiffany&rdquo; blue.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_dual_time">Rolex Cellini</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Cellini is distinguished by its 39 mm 18-carat Everose gold case, its water resistance up to 50 meters, its brown alligator leather strap with 18-carat gold buckle, its automatic mechanical movement caliber 3132 , its white lacquered dial with applied indexes and dauphine hands.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The collection <strong>Cellini is Rolex's line of dress watches</strong>, dedicated to the art of fine watchmaking. It has evolved over time, moving from rectangular or asymmetrical watches to a more classic collection including the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/cellini_moonphase"> Rolex Cellini Moonphase</a>. All models in the Cellini collection pay homage to traditional watchmaking craftsmanship while bringing the technical perfection and contemporary aesthetics of Rolex. The Cellini is ideal for formal occasions and for those who appreciate timeless elegance and refined simplicity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Despite a great diversity of models since its beginnings in the 1960s, the Cellini collection has struggled to find its place alongside the iconic Rolex models, and was discontinued in March 2023 to be <strong>replaced by the Rolex 1908</strong>.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/sea-dweller">Rolex Sea-Dweller</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Rolex Sea-Dweller is a professional diving watch</strong>, with a 43 mm Oystersteel case, water resistance up to 4,000 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic movement caliber 3235, a black dial with luminous indexes, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its launch in 1967, the Sea-Dweller or "SD" incorporates a helium valve very useful for professional saturation divers who sometimes have to spend several days in a decompression airlock. The helium molecules being so small - they have made their way inside the casing - must exit through this valve instead of decompressing inside the casing and thus damaging it by making it lose its watertightness. .</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea">Rolex Deepsea</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">Finally, the <strong>Rolex Deepsea is the ultimate diver's watch</strong>, with a 44mm Oystersteel case, impressive water resistance up to 12,800 feet, an Oyster bracelet with Rolex Glidelock and Fliplock extension system, an automatic caliber 3235 movement, a D-blue dial gradient from blue to black, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with black Cerachrom disc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Deepsea is inseparable from director James Cameron known worldwide for numerous films including &ldquo;Titanic&rdquo;. Out of passion for the abyss and to prepare the film &ldquo;Abyss&rdquo;, he co-financed with Rolex an expedition to the Mariana Trench (the deepest place in the earth's crust at -10,908 meters). The prototype<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/deepsea_challenge/126067"> Rolex Deepsea Challenge</a> having been attached to the submarine used by Cameron. Rolex will use the patents tested during this expedition to launch the Rolex Deepsea.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/perpetual-1908">Rolex Perpetual 1908</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Perpetual 1908 is <strong>an elegant and contemporary watch</strong>, part of the Rolex Perpetual collection. Here are its main characteristics. The watch sports a slim 18-carat (750/000) yellow or white gold case, measuring 39mm in diameter, with graceful lines and a subtly fluted bezel. The dial is available in intense white or intense black, featuring Arabic numerals 3, 9 and 12 as well as faceted indexes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Perpetual 1908 is equipped with caliber 7140, an automatic movement entirely developed and manufactured by Rolex. It incorporates technological innovations such as the Chronergy escapement and the Syloxi silicon hairspring for high precision and shock resistance. Like all Rolex models, the 1908 benefits from the Rolex <strong>&ldquo;Certified Chronometer&rdquo;</strong> certification which guarantees performance in terms of precision of -2/2 seconds per day.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The Rolex Perpetual 1908 combines tradition and modernity in a timeless design, embodying the brand's watchmaking excellence and celebrating its aesthetic heritage.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Rolex watch cost?&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for <strong>new Rolex watches change every year, but most Rolex models cost between $ 6,000 and $ 40,000.</strong> A<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/oyster_perpetual"> Rolex Oyster Perpetual</a> costs around $ 5,000, while a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/rolex/day-date_40">Rolex Day-Date 40</a> in yellow gold costs almost $ 40,000.

<h2 dir="ltr">Rolex: The brand of all superlatives!</h2>

Rolex is a preferred choice for those looking for a watch that combines traditional craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and timeless design.

The one that started it all. My first watch, the one I bought myself at 33 and wore for 10 years without stopping, in all circumstances, without any desire to replace it. The one that would remain if I had to keep only one. The aviator, the Pan Am legend since 1954. The most precise of all. And those blue and red bezel colors that change over the years and that I will never tire of. I have always preferred Pepsi to Coke!

Rolex GMT MASTER II ref 16710 - 

Perfect size and bracelet for my small wrist. The dialog between the black, the grey and the gold works beautifully. Perfect step before the full gold version that is too dressy for my taste. It's my daily watch now, and I can't wear anything else. I am always with t-shirt and jeans and this absolutely elegant watch works perfectly with my sporty style. I got it at the airport, the place in which I had many traumas as a child due to immigration and exile. Getting this watch is for me the sign of a new area of my life.

an airport on my wrist

The Rolex GMT-Master II reference 116710 LN was introduced in 2007, this model features a black Cerachrom ceramic bezel, a 40mm stainless steel case, a date function, as well as the iconic ability to track multiple time zones. The “LN” in the model number stands for “Lunette Noir”, indicating the black bezel. Its production continued until around 2019, when it was discontinued and replaced by new models. It represents a specific era in Rolex history.

GMT-Master II Black Bezel

A legendary watch from Rolex as well as from the world of watchmaking, this new version of the GMT MASTER II called Batgirl brings a slight touch of exoticism with the blue of the hand and the bezel while remaining much more discreet than the Pepsi or Sprite version. To be moderated however, because although wiser than the other two references, it inevitably attracts benevolent glances or not ... 

Indeed, with the multiplication of aggression problems, it can be difficult to wear depending on its geographical location. 
It is all the more unfortunate that the Jubilee bracelet ensures great comfort to the point of almost forgetting that you have the watch on your wrist. 
Still concerning the bracelet, the Easylink adjustment system is also well thought out and allows you to adjust the watch on the fly in summer. 

In short, it is a perfect Rolex to be worn both casually and sporty chic but you have to be aware that it is a source of covetousness for both enthusiasts and thieves.

The wisest of the GMT MASTER II

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.

The statutory

A watch that goes as well with a suit as with a casual outfit on the weekend. A pleasure to have this watch. It was my first Rolex and what a love for this timepiece! I do everything with sea, swimming, skiing ... it is my ally when I travel and change time zones. The Oyster bracelet half brushed and polished is toper one gives its sporty and elegant character

Timeless

This Gmt master 2 is a versatile watch because it can be worn at any time and with any outfit. As much for a dressy outfit as just for going swimming since it is waterproof and there I am not afraid to wear it. Precise and a timeless Gmt it is surely the one that I wear most often because in addition to that, despite a few knocks the very resistant steel of Rolex is perfect. The proportions are also perfect. And for me a gmt master 2 is on an oyster bracelet, it is too blingbling on the jubilee bracelet, the jubilee goes well with a datejust.. In short it is a timeless watch that we can never get tired of! Luckily I bought it new in 2017 like the skydweller in 2018 and I waited only a few months I think 1 month even for this one before it was the speculation to this point today. I didn't choose it as an investment object but because I liked it, however it is sometimes annoying when people see you as a speculator, when that is not the case at all.

Timeless, versatile and sturdy!

Announced during WW24, I knew that this reference was made for me!
To tell the truth, I wasn't looking for much, but like any watch collector, I always think about the next one, and this one was running through my head. Why? For all these reasons:
- the two-tone black and gray remains discreet but well enough done so that we can distinguish the difference
- the green GMT hand gives a little colorful note to the sober line of the watch
- the jubilee bracelet which can be bling bling on certain models here enhances the whole

In the end, it knows how to match all my clothing desires: suit or sportswear, shorts or jeans.
I agree that it is quite difficult to have, but it remains a pleasant piece to see but especially to wear

La BRUCE WAYNE

Beautiful watch with this black and blue on an oyster bracelet. Ultra-resistant, I have worn it day and night for 5 years for any activity; it has resisted a mountain bike accident better than my ribs. For me it is a complete watch. It adapts to any occasion, suit or jeans sweatshirt.

Gorgeous 

I bought this Rolex for its aesthetics that I find particularly successful with the bezel combining blue and black. The blue GMT hand is very discreet but also brings an original touch. The 40mm diameter is the perfect diameter for me. On a par with my Explorer II black background, it is my favorite Rolex. Being a great traveler, the GMT hand is not a gadget for me. My only regret with this watch is the phenomenal (irrational even) rating that it reaches and unfortunately this attracts covetousness not necessarily well-intentioned. A watch that can therefore no longer be worn anywhere at any time (the Explorer clearly has the advantage in terms of discretion).

Sporty and dressy

Do we still need to introduce it? I think we have here the best of the old (aluminum insert) and the new. The watch is very qualitative. The red and black insert is for me the nicest and offers the pep(i) expected for the watch. The watch is very pleasant to wear because it is not too thick and a perfect diameter for me. I recommend it!

The best of both worlds

At Rolex, after the sub date of 94 and the sea-dweller 50th, my collection continues with a GMT Master II "Rootbeer".
The "Rootbeer" is a choice addition to any watch collection. Its design and its combination of warm colors make it a timeless piece. The GMT function already seduces me for my next trips. This timepiece is a symbol of elegance and know-how. A real investment for enthusiasts.


"ROOTBEER "

The GMT Master II is a model that I have always liked. The day I decided to buy one, it was obvious to me that of all the variants, the 16713 (gold/steel) was the natural choice. First, I have trouble with 6-digit GMTs with their shiny ceramic bezel and the typography of the bezel that is too "square". The 5-digit GMTs are more "small" and "softer", and also more vintage. Then, by putting a 16710 LN and a 16713 side by side, there was no hesitation for me. Where the 16710 appeared almost dull, the 16713 radiated, sang,... It is not for nothing that they say that gold is a warm metal. I have always liked gold watches which give that little chic touch that steel watches sometimes have difficulty having. And then if you like vintage like me, gold watches (and especially gold-plated) are legion. Even chronographs from the 50s/60s are often gold-colored. So to summarize, a gold/steel GMT Master II was an obvious choice. Especially since this one is in superb condition. It is a first hand from 2000, bought from an exclusive vintage Rolex professional with all the history. I bought it and I do not regret having ignored all the comments of the time made by people who did not own this model, had probably never seen one in real life, but who still denigrated it with prejudices of a bling-bling watch reserved for the Middle Eastern and American markets. Afterwards, it did me a lot of good, because at the time (about 5 years ago), the gold/steel version cost much less second-hand than the all-steel version!!! I did not know that steel cost more than gold...thanks fashion! Since then, several brands have released gold/steel models, models have been seen in stores and the comments have evolved positively, unfortunately leading to an increase in the price. But here and there, we still hear some prejudices that die hard. To conclude, this Rolex 16713 is the elegant GMT Master II of the range, halfway between the steel version "sporty tool watch" and the gold version "precious" ... and very expensive. It can even be used as a "dress watch" because its diameter of 40 mm is fairly standard for any wrist, and it is not very thick for a so-called professional watch. So, if gold and steel tempts you, don't hesitate: treat yourself and put down the prejudices!

Down with prejudices!

You have this "BatGirl" thing, a certain something that sticks to your skin like a shadow. It may not seem like much, but it makes you shine and gives you that extra something: Elegance, insolence, functionality, resistance, all that is you and me, but in a watch version.
Your black dial is like a black hole that swallows the light, but with style. It creates a bloody contrast with your black and blue bezel, highlighting your white gold indexes and hands. Your sapphire crystal is like a shield that protects you from scratches, and allows me to read the time even when my world is falling apart.
Every detail of you is thought out, calculated, so that every time I look at you, I feel like I'm discovering a nugget.
Having you on your wrist: It's like an adrenaline rush, something that makes you feel alive, even in the routine and grayness of everyday life.

A horological phoenix in a furious world

A perfect watch for the great traveler with the possible reading of 3 time zones using the bidirectional bezel, or simply for the pleasure of a sedentary person to wear this watch formally or casually and use the GMT hand as a 24-hour indication. The Everose color (Rolex-made pink gold) has a very beautiful shine and the contrast between the brushed and polished parts is very effective without being flashy to my taste. The deep black dial highlights the indexes and the two-tone bezel is in harmony. For the rest, we find of course the know-how of the Rolex house, robustness, precision, comfort on the wrist

Precious GMT

First generation with non-pierced horns, I particularly appreciate the finesse of the dial. The original black bezel was then replaced by the good care of the Dubail house by a red and black model, a perfect alliance with the red of the GMT hand! Not too heavy and not too flashy with its slightly old school Fliplock bracelet! The small, discreet screwed crown underlines its robust and oyster style... An emblematic model, a little vintage and sought after, careful to avoid unhealthy lust, it only occupies my wrist during country stays ;)!

GMT-II Z series

All fans of the brand know the difficulties in acquiring a new model. As a result, I turned to the second-hand market but for a GMT reference 16710 year 2000 and I do not regret my choice at all. It has just as much charm if not more than the modern ones.

The GMT Mater II Pepsi 16710

The only real GMT owned, acquired when the ceramic Pepsi was not yet available for sale, I would prefer the jubilee today, why? these mirror-polished central links... a daily disaster as the slightest scratches appear, then the mirror polish on the bracelet, yes... in new stock photos! To return to our GMT, this one is water-resistant to 100m like most Rolexes, an impeccable finish, COSC precision at the rendezvous, a watch that fits well, is discreet with its 40mm, a pretty versatile and somewhat flashy piece.

<p dir="ltr">Created in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing a new vision of time, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.</p>
