Not exactly, I'm on the hunt for a 50s Seamaster with a beefier case:



It might not look so nice right now, but if I get it, it will get an overhaul and will look great!

That's interesting PEP. Thanks. I have a Daytona and Milgauss with the PCL and they are a little difficult to keep "new" but they do look good with the wear marks.

This Pepsi got me started with Rolex seven years ago and I haven't looked back!

I blame you as well. Your shots of your TT GMT are unbelievable! I don't have any TT in my collection yet, but that is one of the best, if not THE BEST looking TT. There's just something about this "new" GMT, ya' know?

Yes, I know the feeling, buddy!! The GMT-IIC is special, no doubt about that. The superb Ceramic bezel has a special sheen to it which the normal anodized aluminium bezel just cannot replicate.

The numbers on your bezel, by the way, are Platinum blasted - just so you know!!

Thanks. It's awesome. I love my vintage but there's no doubt that the engineering on this new one has come very far. It just feels great.

Congratulations on owning a crown jewel of Rolex design and engineering. Many refer to it as the best Rolex ever made. I would agree.

Congrats and welcome to the club! This watch is on my rotation this week. I still can't stop staring at it, and neither can people in my office.
