The Rolex GMT-Master II 116710LN pairs an all-black ceramic bezel with a green GMT hand: a restrained combination that gives this generation its own identity. Introduced in 2007, it brought the steel GMT into Rolex’s ceramic-bezel era, with broader lugs and polished bracelet center links giving it more presence than its aluminum-bezel predecessor.

The attraction is partly practical. Its 3186 lets you jump the local hour hand independently when crossing time zones, while the green hand keeps home time. The bezel’s engraved numerals give the black-on-black design texture without the visual bustle of a two-color insert. If that quieter look is what you want, this is the reference to seek; Rolex discontinued it in 2019.

One detail worth checking is the clasp’s Easylink extension: it should deploy and tuck away cleanly, offering a useful adjustment on warm days. Those polished center links are also central to the watch’s character—decide whether you enjoy that flash alongside the otherwise subdued dial and bezel.

What owners love

The black bezel makes this a quieter-looking GMT than the two-tone versions, while the green GMT hand and dial text give it a little personality. Owners often like that those green details are subtle rather than obvious across a room.
The independently adjustable local-hour hand makes changing time zones straightforward without stopping the watch or disturbing the minute hand. It is one of the features owners actually use, rather than just enjoy seeing on the dial.
The solid bracelet and clasp feel reassuring on the wrist, and the Easylink extension is useful when your wrist swells during the day. Owners coming from older Rolex bracelets often describe this as a noticeable improvement.

Common Criticisms

The polished center links pick up hairline scratches easily and look dressier than some owners want from an everyday GMT. They are a recurring gripe even among people who otherwise love the watch.
The broad lugs and crown guards give the 40mm case a noticeably chunky, square stance. Some owners prefer the slimmer proportions of the earlier GMT references.
The bezel's 24-click action is less versatile for timing short intervals than the finer clicks of earlier GMT bezels. It works well for setting another time zone, but owners who also use the bezel as a casual timer sometimes miss that finer adjustment.
