Rolex - GMT-Master II - 116710LN - Black Dial
Watch Info
Manufacturer: Rolex
Model: GMT-Master II
Condition: Very Good (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 116710LN
Year: 2007
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Rolex inner and outer boxes, 2007 Warranty Card, manuals, and green chronometer hangtag.
Notes: The 116710LN is the all-black GMT-Master II — the most understated and versatile configuration in the modern GMT lineup. This M serial example sits in the 2007-2008 production window, confirming it carries the Calibre 3186 with Parachrom hairspring and the engraved rehaut — placing it squarely in the post-transition generation with all the modern movement upgrades in place. The all-black Cerachrom ceramic bezel gives this reference a stealth presence that the two-color bezel variants cannot replicate — a single-color execution that reads as a serious tool piece in any context. Discontinued in 2019 and replaced by the 126710LN on a revised case, the 116710LN has developed a strong and devoted secondary market following among collectors who prefer the Oyster bracelet configuration and the 40mm case of this generation.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Very Good. This example has been carefully worn over its ownership life and shows honest signs of use consistent with regular wearing throughout. The watch presents well and retains its overall factory profile.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The black dial with applied white gold Mercedes indices and red GMT hand is in excellent condition. The Chromalight lume fill is in good condition. The sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case & Bezel: The 40mm Oystersteel case retains its overall factory profile with visible surface marks consistent with regular use. The all-black Cerachrom ceramic bezel is in excellent condition — no chips, fading, or contact marks. The case flanks and lug surfaces show honest wear consistent with a carefully used example of this age.
Bracelet & Clasp: The Oyster bracelet shows visible surface hairlines on the polished center links consistent with regular use over its ownership life. The bracelet is tight with no meaningful stretch. The Oysterlock safety clasp with Easylink 5mm extension functions perfectly.

Why the 116710LN M Serial is a Collector's GMT
The 116710LN occupies a specific and increasingly valued position in the modern Rolex GMT conversation. Its discontinuation in 2019 was met with immediate collector interest — the all-black ceramic bezel configuration has no equivalent in the current GMT lineup, where the 126710LN carries the same bezel but on a revised case with Jubilee bracelet option. For collectors who specifically want the 40mm Oyster-only configuration with the all-black bezel, the 116710LN is the only answer.
The M serial placement is significant — this example carries the Calibre 3186 with Parachrom hairspring, confirmed by its production era, along with the engraved rehaut that was introduced in the late Z serial period immediately preceding. An M serial 116710LN in honest, well-worn condition with a complete original set represents a strong value proposition for the collector who wants a fully documented early production example at a price that reflects its current cosmetic condition transparently. For the buyer who values provenance, Calibre 3186 confirmation, and the most understated GMT-Master II configuration ever produced, this is a compelling example.
