It's here!
Let me just start off with a huge thank you to Cayce from the Timekeeper http://www.preownedrolex.com/. The guy is just as stand up as they come. He's fair, honest, easy to deal with and his prices are excellent. Hell, he even threw in a Rolex baseball cap and made sure the time and date was set so that when I got the watch, all I had to do was put it on The watch is in pristine condition and his price was unbeatable.
I've had two GMT's before. One Pepsi and one blk/red. But, now that I have the blk/blk I can definitely see what all the fuss is about. I'm lovin this watch, it's a K series so it has lug holes in the outer case and SEL. I don't know about you guys, but I just love me some lug holes . They totally complete the Rolex tool watch look Sorry about the quality of the pictures, they really don't do the watch justice. But, as you can see, I haven't become any better at taking them Seriously guys, if any of you are considering buying pre-owned, you owe it to yourselves to give Cayce a shot |

Beautiful, C.J.! The Black/Black GMT is my favorite. I'm going to contact them about a ballcap. Been trying to find one.

Congratulations Craig!
Its a stunning watch. Wear it in the finest of health my friend. I prefer the lug holes personally. Still gives the watch the tool look and keeps the traditions of the workhorse Rolex. Plus with that all black bezel insert you have a daily wearer and something that looks great for functions too. Something I love the Sub for. Great watch! |

Congratulations C.J. looks geat!
Nice shiny & sharp case. I prefer no holes in the lugs, because then I never get stressed out about the spring bars being close to the surface of the case and indicating wear. All black bezel is great but my No.1 is red/black. Enjoy your new watch in good health |

Craig, here's a tip - unless you're working for Reuters or AP, there's absolutely no reason to take photos during an earthquake!
Seriously, you scored well - enjoy that beauty in the best of health!

Beautiful watch. Cayce is The Man! Just received a great Submariner no-date at a great price from him a couple of days ago. Could'nt be more happy.
