Decision made...photos of the result!
Thanks to everyone who posted in my last thread http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=195326. I went to the AD today, haggled a bit and the decision is now made.
I bought an Oyster Perpetual Date...hmmm...GMT Master II! I love the DSSD and I am now completely convinced that I want both, but I wanted something new that I could wear every day in life and the GMT fits that bill better than the DSSD. So, tomorrow I start saving for the DSSD! In the meantime, here's a (pretty poor - sorry, I was rushing) photo of the watch on my wrist...and a family portrait of it together with my Datejust, Sea-Dweller 4000 and Daytona. Thanks again to everyone who was interested enough to express an opinion and sorry if anyone is disappointed in me for the time being. I aim to save and buy the DSSD next so that we are all happy! |

Congrats and hope the DSSD will soon be in your collection. I am thinking of purchasing the DSSD too although my wrists are not too big.

Thanks for the replies. Was feeling very happy with the way that it looked on my wrist in the office today!
For those who asked, it's the stainless steel 116710LN. |

Thanks for all the compliments. I must admit that I was finding the watch a distraction when I was at work last week...I just wanted to sit and stare at it on my wrist some more!
Was wearing my Daytona today, but it's back to the office with the GMT tomorrow! |
