Hello everyone, among the many classic series of Rolex, the GMT-Master series has always been warmly sought after due to its unique dual time zone display function. Over the years, Rolex has continuously innovated, injecting new vitality into this series. Previously, the steel case with two-tone bezel models included the red-blue (Pepsi), blue-black (Batman), and black-green (Sprite). The black-grey bezel GMT was launched last year in both all-gold and two-tone versions. The gold and two-tone versions have relatively higher public prices. This year, the introduction of the steel black-grey bezel has further reduced the price threshold: the public price for the gold version is 325,100, the two-tone version is 139,300, and the steel black-grey bezel is 89,500. Moreover, the combination of the black-grey Ceramic Bezel with the green GMT hand is very close to the appearance of the previous generation Rolex GMT-Master II full black bezel 116710, especially the green GMT hand which is particularly striking on the black-grey bezel and black dial – the classic “small green hand” of Rolex is back. Today, we bring you a detailed review of the new Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 black-grey Ceramic Bezel from the Clean Factory.
Appearance and Design
This new GMT-Master model uses 904L stainless steel, which gives it a robust yet refined look. The color combination on the dial is unique; the understated yet luxurious black-grey tones are unforgettable. The black-grey Ceramic Bezel design perfectly integrates the dial with the bezel, creating a unique visual appeal. The use of a sapphire crystal not only enhances the transparency of the dial but also adds to the overall texture. The hidden small crown logo at the 6 o’clock position further highlights the prestige and elegance of the Rolex brand.
Dial and Hands
The classic four-hand style, paired with the green GMT hand, brings back memories of the previous generation Rolex GMT-Master II full black bezel 116710. This design not only evokes nostalgia but also makes the entire dial more striking. The font on the dial is clear and the layout is well-organized, making it very comfortable to read the time and appreciate the details.
Side Profile and Crown
The watch’s side profile features smooth and elegant lines, and the crown on the right side is meticulously designed. The engraving details on the crown are precise, the touch is comfortable, and it operates smoothly. These finely crafted details showcase the exquisite watchmaking skills of the Clean Factory.
Movement and Functionality
This watch is equipped with Clean Factory’s classic 3285 movement, renowned for its stability and functionality, perfectly mirroring the original design. Both the time display and dual time zone functions perform excellently. Additionally, the screw-down case back enhances the watch’s water resistance.
Strap and Details
The watch offers both three-piece and five-piece link bracelet options, catering to different consumer preferences. Regardless of the style, the strap details are meticulously handled, from the choice of materials to the finishing, reflecting Clean Factory’s commitment to quality.
Conclusion: The Clean Factory Rolex GMT-Master II 126710 black-grey Ceramic bezel model excels in design, movement performance, and detail. It not only represents a classic of the Rolex GMT-Master series but also exemplifies Clean Factory’s perfection in watchmaking.
