Can I please see some pics of....

...the new SS GMT? I have one landing tomorrow, and would love to see some pics. The old schoolers here know my past with Rolex, but I think they hit a homerun with this one, except for the polished center links.

I initially only got this because my AD put me on the list without me knowing and then gave me a good price. Already have another watch in mind for a trade, but may give it a week test run. Chances are it will hit the road since the market is hot, but c'mon Mike and others, here is a chance to change my mind. :-) :-)

TIA.

Just make sure you don't flip it like the LV within a matter of weeks.

If you're coming back up to Dallas, drop me a line and maybe we can meet up.

Hey Daren: I too was on a list for a watch that I had no tremendous interest in. Got the call and the rest is history. There is something special about this watch. Like I said before... it sold itself.

Good luck either way but give it a chance.

Ok, you guys are making me want to get one! I a;ready turned one down. Got a phone call from my AD when they got thier forst one in. I said no. I guess I felt that if I really did not want one I should not get it and let somebody that really wants it enjoy it. I might not turn down the next one, though I think I will wait to see if I can one at a discount. Once the hype dies down.



Sterling, I have to admit I like the NATO strap.

Not generally speaking, but it looks good on the GMT.

Why thank you.

I went swimming with it today, and in the water, as much as I hate to say it, I like the bracelet better. The thing is, when the strap is wet, when the watch shifts to one side of the wrist or the other, it just kinda stays there. I have to use my other hand to get it to sit back correctly. No biggie, everything can't be perfect.

Thanks for the pics guys and for your info you two, there is a deal in place already, but I have the weekend to spend with the watch to decide. I don't have to move it right away, as I know it will sell on the secondary market and I got it at a price that I can't possibly get hurt.

Great pics too guys, just not sure on this one.

Good for you Daren. You really got a discount on the new model? If so, that's the first of heard of that.
