Incoming

I tend to flip a lot so I don't really post these, but I'm pretty excited, so going to post for this one.

Recently posted about getting something in gold. However, I'm in the middle of closing on a new home and I probably need my extra loot for incidentals. Example: I would be mad at myself if I was hesitant about buying a new washer and dryer because I just spent circa 25k on a new watch.

That said, I still have the itch so I contacted the almighty davidsw and I now have a pre-loved gmt II c on the way. I should get it tomorrow in the PM.

I am very excited and will be sure to post pics.

Ps. David really is a legend for a reason. He is a very impressive seller. Very very impressive.

I just got the fedex email notification of delivery. I am literally closing my office early so I can go home at 3:00 to get it (my guys appreciate the early good Friday). I am super excited.

Thanks brother. Almost suprised about how much I like it.
A true all around, all purpose beauty.

And I swear, I might never buy a watch from another person again. Must be six transactions in the least 8 months and every time is better than the last.
