My First Rolex

Ok, As I said a week ago, I finally got my First Rolex, as I initially intended to get a SS Daytona, I decided to buy a TT GMT II Ceramic, which I am absolutely amazed with.
I got several very lousy photos, I have a pretty bad HP Digital Camera and trying to get a closeup is impossible. But I have another camera that is 35mm but have not been able to take the film to Walmart. So thi is just one more or less decent Photo of it on its box.
I need to tell you guys that after a week with the GMTII it has lost 3.5 seconds which I think is truly amazing!!!!
I hope I can get some better pictures of it...

Watch out at Wal-Mart dropping off/picking up film with your GMTIIc on!... Bit of an inside joke... do a search for past posts to get the meaning (key word = wal-mart)

GONGRATS ON AN AMAZING WATCH!
