https://thewatchlounge.com/rolex-gmt-master-ii-ref-116710ln-review-with-price/
As the first steel GMT-Master II to feature a Cerachrom bezel, the Ref 116710LN was always going to be in demand. But the shiny new bezel is not the only thing that made this watch attractive. Rolex also borrowed several technical advances from other models.
The secure Triplock crown came from the Submariner. This crown uses three sealed zones to ensure watertight security akin to a submarine’s hatch. Rolex chose not to increase the watch’s 100m water resistance rating though. Probably because it’s a pilot’s watch and not a dive watch. Also taken from the Submariner was the Maxi dial design. It’s distinguished by thicker hour and minute hands and larger round markers. Not everyone likes the Maxi dial as it is a bit more in your face. It does seem to improve legibility though.
The original black bezel GMT-Master had a red 24-hour hand. For the Ref 116710LN, Rolex changed this to green. The name “GMT-Master II” also appears in green text on the dial. Subtle changes sure but ones that helped this model become highly recognisable.

# Rolex GMT-Master II Green Arrow Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Rolex GMT-Master II Green Arrow (ref. 126720VTNR) is a premium sports tool watch tailored for left-handed wearers, boasting a robust 40mm Oystersteel Oyster case with the crown positioned at 9 o'clock for comfort, a bidirectional black-and-green Cerachrom ceramic bezel for intuitive 24-hour tracking, a clean black index dial with luminous Chromalight markers and hands including the signature green-tipped arrow GMT hand, and a matching Oyster bracelet; it targets affluent travelers, pilots, adventurers, and Rolex collectors who value innovation and exclusivity, powered by the advanced in-house automatic Calibre 3285 with 70 hours of power reserve, Superlative Chronometer certification, and cutting-edge features like the Chronergy escapement.
## Overall Watch Rating: 9.3/10.0
**Movement Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Rolex's Calibre 3285 sets a benchmark for in-house excellence with its 70-hour reserve, Parachrom hairspring, and -2/+2 seconds daily accuracy, outpacing even Grand Seiko's 9S series in reliability.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.6/10.0)** - The left-handed layout, green arrow GMT hand, and impeccably finished black dial with applied indices deliver timeless yet innovative aesthetics, rivaling Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak in visual impact.
**Material Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Premium Oystersteel, scratchproof sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and durable Cerachrom bezel offer top-tier build quality comparable to IWC's ceramic-cased pilots.
**Versatility Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Seamlessly transitions from boardroom to cockpit with its sporty yet refined profile and 100m water resistance, more adaptable than dedicated divers like the Omega Seamaster.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Rooted in Rolex's pioneering GMT technology from the 1950s and enhanced by modern lefty innovation, it stands alongside historic icons like the original Pan Am commissioned GMT-Master.
**Rarity Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Limited production of this left-handed variant drives desirability at its $10,700 retail, akin to Tudor's Black Bay models but with Rolex exclusivity.
**Brand Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Rolex epitomizes luxury prestige with global recognition and craftsmanship heritage, matching Patek Philippe in collector cachet while exceeding in everyday robustness.
**Complications Metric (8.5/10.0)** - The independent 24-hour GMT hand with date adds practical traveler utility, on par with Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms GMT but simpler than tourbillon-laden pieces.
**Functions Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Core time, date via Cyclops magnifier, and GMT delivery reliable everyday utility, solid like a Tag Heuer Carrera but without multifunction overload.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 5.2
## WM Collector Grade: C+
## Performance Insights: Excels in movement, materials, design, and versatility for a true luxury sports watch, but modest complications and functions relative to secondary market premiums of around $29,000 limit raw value versus implied price of $7200.
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: Provides elite brand prestige and reliable GMT functionality, justified for collectors despite trading at a significant hype premium over spec-based worth.
