Finally got my GMT II BLNR... yeay!!

Hi guys,

I am a newbie to this forum and for the last few months I have been reading and learning a lot about rolex amazing watches and I absolutely LOVE the enthusiasm of every member of TRF!

Thanks to many inputs and comments from the forum. After waiting for nearly 3 weeks, today I was informed by the local AD that they have the GMT II BLNR ready in stock. So I managed to rushed out to the local AD (fearing that somebody may have taken the watch first berore me although the sales person already reserved it for me...) and finally get myself the GMT II BLNR yeay....!!!

I can tell you that it is an amazing piece of workmanship from rolex! The ceramic black and blue coloured bezel is amazing. Not only because of the advanced technology rolex has that puts 2 different colours together on the ceramic (cerachrom) seamlessly, but also the effect of the diamond coating on the bezel makes the black coloured part of the bezel sometimes looks like dark silver/grey (depending on the reflection of the lights).

I am very happy with the watch. So once again thank you so much TRF and all your wonderful insights! Here are some pics: (sorry for the blured pic...)
