The ceramic bezel is a clear hint to the bakelite of the original.

Next week marks the one year anniversary of my 116710LN, aka the Silver

Agreed! It is so good I got a second one (126710 BLRO). You can go wrong.

My first serious, “ real” watch was a GMT Master. Bought it brand new in November of 1986. Still have it. Still wear it sometimes.

It was the first nice watch I bought, and it has been a trusty companion. Well executed, good proportions, robust movement and practical complication. It’s as good a daily driver as one could hope for. Thrilled to hear others here like theirs as much. AH ...

simply because the batman/-girl and pepsi’s are in such high demand. The LN and 6k in your pocket vs the pepsi - I know what i would do (and did). [nt]

I thought you might enjoy the Volvo, my friend. I must admit the new ones are great!
