a brand new ROLEX 116710LN! id first like to say that i really really liked my Breitling, i just couldn't stop thinking about other watches so it wasn't a keeper.

also bought a Panerai 112 which i thought id keep, but i never warmed to it the way i thought i would so this is the result....

Nice watch. I really like the GMT, but not a fan of the cyclops.

Nice pick up. :thumbsup:

Until the SDDS came out, this was the only Rolex I'd consider. The only problem with it for me is the size as I don't get on 41mm pieces. But it looks an awesome fit on your wrist!

Congratulations but I hope you are single :twisted:

No if thats what floats your boat, you go with it, I have had a couple of Rolex, and the cyclops was always in my mind, as if it was too difficult to make a full sized date.

Perhaps a better idea would have been to keep your Ling and buy the Rolli as a second watch.

I had one of these BNIB from a dealer, only sold it to buy my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chrono. I do not miss it to be honest as the AP is a much better watch but I miss it more than the SDDS if that makes sense :oops:

Enjoy the watch, you made the correct choice 8)

congrats on the new watch. the most important thing is that you are happy. i have never really been a rolex fan but lately there are a few rolexs that are starting to catch me eye and this is one of them.
