G'Day From Melbourne Australia

What a great forum.
Such a wealth of information and great advice.

I'm looking forward to spending lots of time here.

Anyhoo, was in Singapore last week and could not resist. Picked up a new GMT Master II as my first ever Rolex.


By hardboiled69 at 2010-10-06

Such a pleasure to own something thats beautiful and that I can pass onto my kids one day.

My humble collection so far.. would love to add a Coke/Pepsi GMT one day
