First Rolex and one of the largest purchases of my 20-years on this planet

Just picked up this beautiful GMT Master ll today. Contacted a bunch of them who did not have it in stock but was lucky enough to snag it from Nash Jewellers, an authorized dealer in London Ontario. I was apprehensive about spending $10k on a watch my whole ride there but right when I saw it in person, it was a closed deal. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a discount because of the model, but I did get some cool Rolex swag like the travel pouch and cleaning cloth.

Great purchase! Congrats! The GMT Master II is on my grail list at some point. I myself just picked up an Explorer II 16570 polar dial.

Believe it or not I was looking at those and the milgauss, but when I got the email that this GMT was in stock I was there in a day!

Gratz on the pick up yourself dude

At 20 I was just worried about where the next keg was coming from

I wish I bought my first Rolex at 20. I would have saved a lot of money if not made some money. Congratulations and enjoy your new GMT.

I've used a few different AD's, and also bought from Nash - good team. The GMT LN is my daily wear and fave. Congrats!

Congrats looks great on you! I’m looking forward to getting my first Rolex. I’ve been going back and forth for over a month on the cost. Now I’m working David SW for my Rolex purchase.

Beautiful. If you have that one you will never need another watch.

...although I predict it may be the first of many. Great start!

One ring to rule them all. . .

The finest GMT ever crafted in my opinion. Enjoy.
