GMT-Master II
The two-tone GMT - steel and 18k yellow gold case with black Cerachrom bezel, paired with Jubilee bracelet in matching two-tone metal. Introduced alongside the 116710LN in 2007, it bridges sporty utility with Rolex's dressier aesthetic.

(2)Look, the Rootbeer GMT is one of those watches where I completely understand why people lose their minds over it. The two-tone Jubilee bracelet somehow shouldn't work - gold AND steel? - and yet it absolutely does. The black and brown ceramic bezel is warm in a way that most sport watches refuse to be, and the 40mm case sits on the wrist like it was designed specifically for your arm. Cal. 3186 is rock solid, the GMT function is genuinely useful, and the whole thing just radiates 'been everywhere, seen everything' energy. The only thing keeping this from a perfect score is that you'll pay a pretty significant premium over retail if you want one today, which stings. But if you find one at a fair price? Don't think twice.
