Rolex GMT-Master II BLNR








On Christmas Event 1995, children across the country lay down in bed, wide-eyed and enthusiastic, imagining all sorts of scenarios concerning unboxing the newly introduced Playstation. Most of the kids got an ecstatic Christmas, even though the few that remained experienced well-meaning but ultimately puzzled parents. Instead of a Playstation, all these kids had a 16-bit game package that was related enough to the Playstation to be able to confuse uninformed parents.



Rolex seems to be that will proverbial well-meaning parent, playing the wishes of those who have admire it but not pretty fulfilling them. Last year, enjoy enthusiasts begged for a two-tone GMT-Master II, and Panerai said it couldn't take action. This year, Rolex finally broke the nut and introduced the two-tone 116710BLNR. Hang on, BLNR? Doesn't that mean glowing blue and black? Yes, if the new bezel was first introduced, many people were blank-faced. Just where did the red in addition to blue go? Or even reddish colored and black? What on the planet is Rolex doing?



Indeed, the azure and black ceramic match each other, despite directly breaking one of the oft-repeated rules in the fashion world. The strong sheen and rich shade are enough to distinguish the 2 shades, and like the african american - a feature of prior Rolex models - the actual blue changes hue considerably when the light changes, and that is very pleasing. The orange also carries over to the particular GMT hand, but amazingly, it does not carry over to the writing as it did on the authentic ceramic GMT-Master II.



Nothing has changed inside of, with the caliber 3186 using a Parachrom hairspring working in typically the engine room. Rolex high-class features are evident just about everywhere, including smooth setting as well as silent winding, and the good fit and finish also bring over to the outside, with a reliable click from the bezel and also surface finishes to micron-level perfection. Where the money actually goes (let’s face that, you need a lot of money to join often the Rolex owners’ club these kind of days) is in the clasp, that is certainly cleverly designed and attractively assembled, solving the “squeaky” Rolex bracelet complaint for good. There’s even an effortlessly extendable half link for anyone hot days when wrist watches can often get a bit limited.



Maybe I actually misjudged Rolex. Maybe, just like parents with teenagers who all can’t tell the difference between whatever they think is right and what is in fact right, Rolex made an excellent decision. The Swiss huge has shown that it’s running by abandoning some popular designs and trying new kinds, so why would they stick to the red and pink past instead of making something totally new? Or maybe - the new board is completely blue, with the black color half dyed before the substance set - they merely don’t know how to make crimson and blue - we are excited for. Whatever the reason, there’s one thing Im sure of - I need a PlayStation.
