This year, Rolex launched a new blue and black circle GMT, namely the steel shell five-bead chain blue and black circle, number 126710BLNR. This is also the second five-bead chain GMT launched by Rolex after the red-blue circle of the five-bead chain. The blue-black circle GMT (116710 blue-black circle) is one of the fastest-growing sports labor in Rolex in the past two years. This year, a new generation of Rolex 126710 blue and black circles came out. As a replacement for the previous generation 116710 blue and black circles, it will inevitably attract great attention.

Rolex’s new generation of blue and black circles 126710BLNR, compared with the previous generation of blue and black circles 116710, the biggest changes are two. First, the new 126710 blue and black ring uses a five-bead chain instead of an oyster chain. Second, the new 126710 blue and black circle uses Rolex’s new 32 series movement (3285), replacing the previous generation Rolex 31 series movement.
The two models of the new Rolex 126710 are the five-bead chain blue-black circle and the five-bead chain red-blue circle.
In the past two years, Rolex has continued to introduce new products on the GMT series. First, the steel shell five-bead chain red and blue rings, and the steel shell five-bead chain blue and black rings, and the gold shell and the gold shell GMT have been updated. The purpose of Rolex is to reshuffle the GMT series and streamline the GMT series. With the launch of Rolex’s new steel shell five-bead chain blue and black circle this year, Rolex completed the planning of GMT. Rolex retained 6 models (sale models) in the GMT series, and all other models were discontinued. Let’s focus on the models that Rolex reserves and the models that will be discontinued.
The Rolex GMT series will be discontinued.
The Rolex GMT series will be discontinued as follows:
Rolex steel case black ring GMT (green pin), model 116710LN
Rolex GMT (green needle), model 116713LN
Rolex gold case GMT (black plate green needle), model 116718LN
Rolex Gold Case GMT (Green Disk), Model 116718LN
According to Rolex’s new plan, from now on, Rolex GMT will be a two-color bezel, the previous models of single-color bezel will be discontinued. In addition, Rolex GMT will no longer use gold, including all-gold models, gold models will be discontinued. Rolex GMT will only use steel, rose gold, and platinum. Another is that Rolex GMT steel watches will no longer use oyster bracelets, steel case GMT will use five-bead chains. In the future, Oyster chains will only be used on all-gold and inter-gold GMT. Therefore, we can see that the discontinued models above do not meet the new plan of GMT, so we will no longer update and end.

The above 6 GMTs are the full lineup of the Rolex GMT series currently on sale in 2019. The above six models are in line with Rolex’s new GMT plan and use Rolex’s new generation 32 series movement (3285). All GMTs on sale are now two-color ceramic rings. As for 2019, whether Rolex will add new watches to the GMT series, let’s take a step by step.

In recent years, you can see that since Rolex launched the two-color ceramic ring GMT, whether it is red, blue, blue or black, the heat of the two-color GMT has begun to rise all the way, significantly exceeding the previous black ceramic ring GMT. And now the steel shell five-bead chain red and blue circle, five-bead chain blue and black circle, has become beyond the existence of green ghosts. Once, the actual prices of black ceramic rings GMT 116710 and Jianjin GMT 116713 were relatively low. In other words, two-color GMT was not available, and monochrome GMT was also available. Now Rolex will stop production of monochrome GMT. From the perspective of Rolex GMT series, it is undoubtedly a full upgrade of GMT series, which is a good thing. However, from the perspective of actually buying a watch, it does further increase the difficulty of GMT.
Regarding the current situation of Rolex’s popular watches, some people say that buying 200,300,000 watches directly, and those who follow the popular steel watches widen the gap; some people say that super-priced watches are never bought. My attitude is that I like it, I have enough money, and I am willing to be on the hot model; if I do n’t think it is necessary, in addition to the hot work, there are N more watches to buy. After all, buying a watch can’t explain anything, it’s just a game, just feel free to do it yourself, don’t let yourself be too tired, and don’t hold yourself back.
