Collectors prefer this watch over older Rolex sports models for several reasons, one reason being the modern style that accompanies the Oyster case.&nbsp; Also referred to as the \u201cSuper Case\u201d or \u201cMaxi Dial\u201d, the ref. 116713 is characterized by a standard 40mm Oyster case flanked by broader lugs and a dial topped with larger luminous hour markers and broader hands.&nbsp; This modern mens Rolex also boasts a certified Swiss Chronometer calibre 3186 movement.&nbsp; At first glance, this mens Rolex is certainly impressive.&nbsp; Taking a closer look at the fine details included in the ref. 116713 reveals that this particular GMT Master II is a seriously impressive sports watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-19199 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"777\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit.jpg\" alt=\"GMT Master II 116713\" class=\"wp-image-19199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit-1024x663.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Rolex_GMT_116713_5D3_8027-Edit-585x380.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The GMT Master II 116713 is an impressive watch for a plethora of reasons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The case and Oyster bracelet feature a striking two-tone finish that utilizes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/rolex-news\/which-two-tone-rolex-sports-watch-is-your-favorite.html\">904L stainless steel and 18 karat yellow gold<\/a>.&nbsp;
