My new GMT, what a stunner

I have had a Batman since release in 2013 and from 2016-2018 was my only watch as I sold almost a 12 strong collection to fund a house move.

Well I have been rebuilding since last Nov when I bought back my sorely missed SD4000 which was followed in Jan by ExpII polar, then a RG YM in Jan and a Sub LV in Jan and various others including a couple of Tudors and an Omega.

Fast forward September and I get a call my 126710 BLRO is ready for collection. I don't think I have ever been so excited to collect a watch. Absolutely love it.



Hopefully I won't have to wait too long for my BF SD and WF Daytona although I'm expecting 12-24 months.

Congratulations - and to think just a little over $8K - nice price!

That was some house move! A few friends and a truck rental will save you from selling off your collection next time!

Bezel colours look great on that.
Don't know whether it's just the lighting on the photo, but looks way better than the washed out blue and red on most (earlier) examples.

Lovely watch, sorry that you had to sell off a collection to fund your move, delighted that you are getting the collection back on track, congratulations on the new arrival.
