Already had a Sub which rarely comes off my wrist, but came across this Y GMT II for $2800 and couldn't pass it up. Not the most prudent move considering the state of our economy, but I figure considering the price, if worst comes to worst I can provably sell it and break even. The Pepsi is taking time to get used to. The coke to me seems a bit more subtle. The coke red almost looks black depending on the light and becomes a bit too similar to my Sub so I settled for pepsi. Now I just need a Speedmaster Professional and my design icons trio will be complete.

Nice pair of watches, congrats on the new GMT!

kcmo · 4 March 2009, 01:05 PM

Sweet duo and a great score on your part.

lauro13 · 4 March 2009, 04:01 PM

I got it on watchuseek.com forum. The watch was posted for ten minutes before I bought it and he already had a bunch of inquiries already. I was irresponsible enough to jump on it and send the payment before really checking the seller so I got it before any one else. Luckily the seller was good. I took the watch to Rolex service in SF and had it checked out. No papers or box though.
