Finally took delivery to complete my trifecta of Rolexes...
Finally!!!

It took some time to move things around financially, sell the Panerai 312, save a few bucks and then get the new Rolex... not to mention all the research that went into this purchase.

So without further adieu, here is my newest and likely last Rolex (I'm getting married in 3 months and I need to be saving for a house) for the foreseeable future:

Congrats Joey!
We all know its either GMT2C or SS Daytona...
I go for Gmt since you mention something about selling 312 and save some bucks.

It's got PCL, so it has to be a Daytona, GMT IIc or DJ I/II. Given that the OP wears a Milgauss GV I'm going to guess that it's not the DJ I. I'm going with GMT.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!!

It was between the GMTIIC and this... and this won out! For the 3rd time, the GMTIIC lost out.

Joey...didn't you already have a Daytona? Did I miss something?

Looks GREAT BTW. I am between that and a GMTIIC for my next one as well...However, I need to go on a watch diet for a while...

Wow! This was a great unboxing session!
Huge congrats on the Daytona

I used to be a hardcore Paneristi, and then I bought a 16610 and slowly began to shift side.
Now im contemplating wether or not to flip my 312 in order to buy my second Rolex
Damn TRF


Again, congratulation. A gorgeous piece!
