Coooey!

Hi all, been a long time coming but after years of window shopping I've finally joined the Rolex owners club

My first choice was always a Sub but over time I came to a conclusion that they are very popular (I originally typed common but this is Rolex we're talking about!) and I wanted something that was a little bit more exclusive so I plumped for a GMTIIc 116710......yeah I know, probably as popular as a Sub but everyone I've met with a Rolex has a Sub.
I also prefer the larger numbering and design of the bezel on the GMT and that it has a second time zone which helps no-end because I have friends overseas I know what the time is with them before I pick up the phone

I'm into my second week of ownership and can't stop staring at it, so happy that I finally managed to put a Rolex on my wrist
