Finally after 15 years. I have my first Rolex!! GMT II 16760!

I cant believe it, even sitting here now. Its surreal to me.
I tried to get the best pics I could, I have a point and shoot camera and my macro mode is a disgrace. I'll get better shots tomorrow with natural outdoor lighting I hope.

I waited over nine months to get this thing home and off layaway.

I have also checked it out, it is in fact a 16760 reference model. It was made in 1986 and as far as I can see all original. The jubilee bracelet has end links marked "455B" for whatever that is worth. I love how the tritium is starting to yellow and brown out slightly. The dial is black but is starting to fade and age too. You can see it in some shots when the light hits it just right.

Im so happy. I have achieved something that I thought I might never do. Everything got in my way, every time I was close. Now I have it. I just cant stop staring at it.

Thank you all for the support, you are a wonderful group of people and this forum is really like a family. I am very happy to have found TRF and all of you to share in my joy.

Here are the pics so far! Im not Jocke that is for sure.
