The ceramic bezel GMT Master 2 was released in 2007. This is an early GMT Master with the Mark 1 dial. The dial at this time was Luminova, and the font on the dial was quite thin and non-serif. A little while later, the luminous material changed to Chromalight, and the font changed to a clear, thick serif font. This is where the early and mid-period dials are distinguished.
The bezel of this 2009 model is also shallower than the mid- and late-model models, and can also be called a ceramic Mark 1 bezel.
And, as the black ceramic bezel has been discontinued, I personally think it would be a good idea to get a complete set of one of these early 116710LNs now.
It's fine to get a popular and expensive model at the moment, but I think it's better to choose a watch that you can enjoy in the long run, rather than following the current trends. This is that watch.
Please take this opportunity.
