Hello sirs,

Once again, many thanks for your support.
And here it is, my new baby is right here on my wrist!!!!
And you were definitely right, that’s a beauty!!!!

I love everything in this watch, the dial is gorgeous and very easy to read, even in the dark.
The ceramic bezel is amazing, I love the way it’s catching the light.

I can’t already pronounce myself about the accuracy, but since Saturday, I’m at +0 !!!!

By the way, to continue a debate that took place a few day before, I just sent back my Omega Railmaster to the service because she was taking +10 seconds a day, and It’ an ETA movement, modified with the co axial escapement.
And it has always been this way.

Coming back to the GMT II, I love the polished centre links. It was far less “bling” than I thought and it makes this watch dressier than the other Rolex sport models.

I was afraid that the “super case” looks disproportionate compared to the band, and finally it’s quite balanced.
And the balance between the weight of the case and bracelet make the watch be very stable on the wrist.

In conclusion, I love this watch and I’m very happy to belong know to the community of the rolexophile !!!!

P.S. : Go Boks !!!!

Congrats, Francois!

The GMT IIc is going to be my next Rolex, too, and I just had the confirmation from my AD that he will be willing to give me 10 % discount on it when I decide to buy it.

How about some nice pics of your GMT IIc and a wristshot?

After initial reservations, I'm really starting to like the GMTIIc. finally got to hold one at my local AD. I think the bracelet convinced me! - congrats on an ideal Rolex!

How do you say, " Superlative Chronometer, Officially Certified", in Francais?

On peut traduire par "Chronometre sans pareil, officielement certifié", more or less.
Sounds better in english.

According to me, the GMT looks better than the daytona, and the GMT function is far more interesting than the Chonograph.
Furthermore, you have the improvements in term of band and clasp.
It's just my opinion.
