A GMT type of Saturday! Incoming.
I have had a passion for Rolex watches since I was very young. When I was growing up, I always admired my grandfathers Day-Date (which he has owned for 50 years and wears daily). I decided that when I could afford a Rolex, I would buy one. I was fortunate enough to buy my first Rolex about 7 years ago, which was a two tone datejust 16233. This started the obsession...As 7 years has come and gone, I have bought and sold ALOT of watches! Everything from stainless air kings to gold Daytona's covered in diamonds.
Typically, I never have sellers remorse. However, several months ago I sold my stainless GMT 116710. As I travel for a living, this IS the perfect watch for me. Yesterday, I located a replacement, and here it is! A mint Z serial GMT. Glad to have it back! |

This one will be MY watch! Thanks for all of the compliments! Black dial/bezel with the green gmt hand is awesome. Also love the polished center links! I'll get to use the gmt function this week as I am traveling from florida to San Diego.
