Hi,

I've now had my GMT IIc for nearly 2 weeks now, and I'm loving it more every day. This watch is just awesome.

I am also loving the fact I dodged the Rolex price increase by just a few days

So to celebrate the highly important 12 day anniversary

, here are some photos to show off my precious. Enjoy!

Very nice!

dddrees · 11 October 2010, 07:50 AM

Absolutely Amazing Watch. I know I Luv this one as well.

JUSTROLEXES · 11 October 2010, 09:28 AM

Looking good my friend and I'm glad you're happy with the GMT

Frogman4me · 11 October 2010, 09:32 AM

I have had this watch for about 3 months and it too has grown on me so much. Great all arounder!

Chipmunk · 11 October 2010, 09:36 AM

Congrats. Looks good on you.

ingoodtime · 11 October 2010, 09:37 AM

I've had it for a year. wonderful watch! Rolex got it right.

bmrisko · 11 October 2010, 10:16 AM

Great pics! I am 2 weeks into my ownership and this one hasn't left my wrist.

therolexguy · 11 October 2010, 10:19 AM

I can't agree more. I've been wearing my IIC for a few weeks now and it's "off" less than a minute....super accurate and one of the best looking of the current models, imho.

dalip · 11 October 2010, 10:22 AM

Looks great.

sleddog · 11 October 2010, 12:51 PM

A great choice.....The GMTc is well worth every cent!

Watchdog · 11 October 2010, 01:01 PM

Pretty much the finest Rolex offered now!

I couldn't agree more, I think it's the new Rolex "flagship"! Rolex hit a major home run with the GMTII-C. The only improvement (or change rather) I can think of is to get rid of the PCL's! I don't mind the tiny scratches, but fingerprints, etc are a pain in the a$$. I'll let it go a few more months and then probably brush the PCL's and clasp. IMO there souldn't be PCL's on a stainless tool watch. As for accuracy, I've only had mine a month now, was 3 seconds fast after the first week, reset the second hand and now it's dead on the money!

I can't believe that I've had mine for almost a year. It's a great watch and I grow more fond of it every day. Enjoy.

Don't know about the others but my newish GMT loses about 1/2 second a day.

For me my GMT IIc is the most accurate watch I own at -1/day.

Hi - I set it a couple of days ago to be synced exactly with thetimenow.com. Looking just now, it's a couple of seconds slow, so my quick assesment is that it's running about 1 second per day slow.

I heard that automatic watches take a few weeks (or months?) to 'run in' - being a newb, how much truth is there in this? Or is it an urban myth?

Thanks.

cvo · 11 October 2010, 08:33 PM

Congratulations - great watch! I have enjoyed mine for 7 months. It's nice to share common interest - we are passionate about quality and precision.

bmrisko · 11 October 2010, 10:30 PM

Mine loses 1 sec per day as well...very accurate as far as I'm concerned.

scarlet knight · 12 October 2010, 12:47 AM

I've had mine since July and I have not bought another watch since, some kind of record for me.

Looks great, love it, comfortable and very accurate!

kerrison · 11 October 2010, 05:38 PM

The GMT is a great watch! Wear it in good health :)

Rolesor · 12 October 2010, 01:29 AM

Great choice my friend - enjoy her :)

Yikes, I hadn't noticed that! You're right though, it's fairly obvious in the photos. I just checked, and the bezel is in perfect health though, so it's not a scratch.

I took these photos at the zoo yesterday, where my wife & I had taken our 2 boys. I suspect that this was un-noticed remnants of some packed lunch which one of them had managed to smear upon my watch. (Photos were taken post-lunch!).

I have forgiven them and still love them

pyxis · 12 October 2010, 05:35 AM

Enjoying mine too. After 8 days, mine is 13 secs slow, about 1.6sec/day, still within COSC. But I think on some of the days, I only wore it for a couple of hours, so the spring would have not been optimally wound.
