Let me show you MY Rolex

Here's a pic of my Y series GMTII that I just received via UPS:



Sorry I didn't get any pics of it coming out of the box. I was to excited to take pics, this is my first.

Thanks for all the good info on the site, I was able to research the models and variations to decide which Rolex I wanted.

Holes or no holes? That was the transition series.

I'm on the hunt. Prefer a 16710B (pepsi), but a 16710A (coke) would work.

Congratulations, just a great watch!

With holes, it had to have holes. I felt lucky to find a Y with holes, the newest I could get with the lug holes I wanted. It even came with the original black bezel.

I enjoy listening to it, there's music inside. None of the mundane ticking that my pocket watches have.
