Hey Gang!

As you all know by now I've been holding a torch for a GMT IIc. After protracted negotiation that'd have tested the patience af Arafat/Netanyahu (?sp), and a near botched electronic transfer....It's finally on my skin!

Nearly drove off the road starin at it all the time

Without further ado>>>

PS. You all are just the best bunch of cats!! Much love to you all (I think that's the Rollie speakin

)

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 January 2008, 06:21 AM

Congrats, Jos!

Where is the pic??

JostheBoss · 10 January 2008, 06:22 AM

It would be nice if the images followed wouldn't it now? Sorry, cellphone pics (again!) Digicam busted!

Texsubmariner · 10 January 2008, 06:23 AM

Congrats on the Rolex. You got the GMT, right?

JostheBoss · 10 January 2008, 06:31 AM

I'm a bit of a dweeb!

Defiancekofb · 10 January 2008, 06:33 AM

Nice acquisition! Jos!

JostheBoss · 10 January 2008, 06:33 AM

***WHEW!!!*** So much for my Grand Entrance! Thanks Bo, Tex! It's a beaut of note!! Can't stop staring :)

Jos,

Just from the GMT to another GMT owner. You will be so inloved with your new watch that you won't want any other ROLEX model for a long time.

Alex

SPACE-DWELLER · 10 January 2008, 06:37 AM

Beautiful, Jos!

That watch will serve you for many, many years to come!

Hey Alex, in that case, can I have your Daytona since you don't want it?

Jos, congratulations! It's a beautiful watch! How long did you have to wait to get it?

I said for a long time. Beside, that Daytona belonges to my four year old son now. It is just my only dream watch. But, GMT is my beloved watch and every day wearer.

crimscrem · 10 January 2008, 06:45 AM

Awesome! Those are cell phone pics? Man, I really feel bad about my pictures!

Glad you finally were able to get the watch. I've had it for one day now, and love it. Congratulations! You were a big help in me getting one so thank you.

Hey Bo! Thanks a bunch...I must say when you swung over to the GMT I started thinkin hard about it

)

I Haven't seen you pics, did you post them? Yes, the cell phone held up pretty well this time didn't it... Lemme just say I know how you feel!

Well I saw it in the AD 3 weeks back, said I'd take it...then the mini-saga began with a deposit to secure, loan for the balance. Nealy lost the baby to a tourist with $$$ in Cape Town. So 3 27 sleeps later it's mine

Thanks dude!

Texsubmariner · 10 January 2008, 06:58 AM

Wow, that watch is awesome! Seeing the pics made me relive the day I brought mine home (tears)...

Congrats, man! Wear it in good health - I'm sure it feels better getting it after a struggle

I was actually in Cape Town about 9 years ago - very beautiful, and Kruger Safari Park was awesome!
