Went with the GMTIIC!!!

Hello all!

I was trying to decide between the Daytona SS and the GMTIIC SS and made the decision to go with the GMT! I absolutely love everything about it! My favorite part is the ceramic dial! Absolutely beautiful! Did end up getting a small discount from my AD and also a major discount on a dial swap for my DJ and a major discount on the full service for my DJ! Going to be turning the DJ over to my wife!

Now that I have this one its made my choice very simple on the Daytona. My next watch will be the SS Daytona with the white dial!

Sorry about the Iphone pic. Will post a better on from my camera later!

Thanks for the help everyone!

Thanks everyone! FWIW I have a really small wrist and as you can tell I don't think it looks too big. So if anyone ever worried about this watch being too big, don't worry its perfect!

The GMT is one of Rolex's most stunning and iconic pieces. Enjoy!

Just curious why, assuming the shot was taken in the evening, you have the 24 hand set an hour behind?

LOL! I just had my AD set it to the time where my Corp office is located. Haven't dove into the GMT function yet. We had a good lough!

That works. I always ask because there are so many ways guys are using the functionality of the watch.
