I've had my GMF GMT-Master II 116710 LN for a month now, so thought I'd drop a short review here, as I couldn't find much on it when searching myself. I ended up choosing the GMF version, after waiting sometime for the ARF to release some stock, but to date they still haven't released any of the 116710 LN. So, impatient, I opted for the GMF version.
I ordered from PureTime, it took about a week for them to get the watch and send me the QC pics, and then 5 days to get from China to the UK.
I've heled the gen version a few times, at a local second-hand dealers, and while the GMF version isn't the most accurate, it get's so much right on the surface that you don't go looking for other tells.
There are a few other caveats I've noticed:
Hoping this is of some help!

- The dial is inky black and the print is sharp,
- The hour markers and hands are nicely finished
- The case feels solid
- The SEL's are perfect
- The weight feels right
- The rehaut is correctly aligned and accurate
- Finally, it has that beautiful shimmer you see on other fine timepieces when the light hits just right.
There are a few other caveats I've noticed:
- Cyclops - I think this is a caveat of all Rolex replicas, from what I've read, it actually doesn't bother me, but after picking up the gen and then picking up the rep, there is a very noticeable blue tint.
- Bezel font - The bezel itself is very nicely finished, but the font is on the thin side, again, because it is so nicely finished it's only really a tell for those who know what the font should look like.
- Buckle - The buckle sits flush with the clasp. While personally I think this looks nicer, the gen oyster bracelet has a slight gap between the buckle and the clasp.
Hoping this is of some help!
