The GENIUS from Rolex is now in my custody!!
What can I say?

Thanks to the super-duper efficiency of DAVIDSW, I now have with me the Superlative Genius from Rolex - a BNIB TT GMT-IIC

FedEx just dropped it off today (Tuesday, 29th for me)!!

Some hurried pics.....





















And the mandatory wrist shots....

JJ, let me be the first to congratulate you on your new watch! Looks perfect on your wrist! I think you made the right decision with this one. A worthy successor to the bluesy. Enjoy the new watch!

For sure a great looking watch. The gold, black, stainless and just that touch of green really made the watch sharp looking.

JJ Congrats! I was wondering if you'd go with a TRF Seller. Don't see how you couldn't honestly, but glad to see you did.
