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!

For Rolex ball caps, look on eBay. Some are a ridiculous price.

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

WHOA!!! Hey, Ed.....ADOPTION time!!!

Great work, Craig.....I know what that beauty looks like in the "flesh" so to speak, so I'm very happy for you. Congrats and wear it in good health, my friend.

That's the second best thing you've done in the last couple of days....the first one being to come out of hibernation!!

All the best with that new baby - JJ

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!
