Well, after almost a week of waiting, my GMT finally came in via USPS registered mail. It actually arrived Christmas Eve, but I haven't had the time to post the pics until now. Anyway, I've been wearing it for past 4 or 5 days, and it feels great.

Enjoy, and Happy New Year.

The obligatory wrist shot.

Daniel

Just a question how much did you pay for the watch ?

JBat · 31 December 2007, 04:28 AM

Congrats Daniel! It's a great watch.

Leighton · 31 December 2007, 04:32 AM

Good for you, Daniel!!! Beautiful watch and nice pics!

DSJ · 31 December 2007, 04:46 AM

What state did the watch come from? How long did it take to get there?

supra2nv · 31 December 2007, 04:54 AM

nice watch! nice MDX too;)

bran · 31 December 2007, 04:57 AM

Great watch! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have enjoyed mine.

marshallr47 · 31 December 2007, 06:46 AM

Daniel,
I see you couldn't wait until you got home to open the box. I totally understand. Congrats on a wonderful watch. Enjoy it for many years to come.

travellingbrit · 31 December 2007, 07:43 AM

beautiful watch and great pics......I can remember the 100metre walk from AD to hotel room to open (give birth to) my Rolex, so I love the car shots....

cbird · 31 December 2007, 09:21 AM

I stopped at an AD to see one "in the flesh" - very impressive, caused me to drop my misgivings about the maxi-dial. I thought the best thing about the new GMT is the anti-reflective coating on the Cyclops - what a difference it makes! By the way, having opened a new Rolex box in the car myself, I consider wearing a brand new Rolex to be a driving hazard - hard to keep the eyes on the road-but I'd still not likely be able to not wear it if I get another, despite that. Probably would be a good idea to have a designated driver to drive new owners home - maybe AD's should consider offering this service.

kcmo · 31 December 2007, 09:27 AM

Lovely! Congrats!

cbin · 31 December 2007, 09:33 AM

That is beautiful. I just got a SS Sub M serial, and was quite torn between the GMT also. Sadly I could only get one...for now!:

GoldenBear · 31 December 2007, 10:39 AM

Did you spend more time watching your wrist or the road as you were driving home?
