My one and only!!
Posted Recently about consolidating my collection to one. Sold them all off and bought a BNIB GMT IIC.
I believe this to be the perfect all around watch. I don't need anything that will take me to the abyss, but I prefer the sport/tool look on a watch, while still offering the ability to dress it up if necessary. I actually had the PCL's brushed. I like them on other watches, but on this one, I prefer the brushed look. My goal is to wait until after next Basel to buy another watch and then make it a yearly thing. Not always a new release, per say, but keeping that as a standard for me. AND NO MORE FLIPPING!!!!!! I will update you guys and let you know if my plan works. I have tried things like this before, but it has always been an epic fail. Anywho, a couple of pics to mark my celebration:

Congrats. Like the fortune cookie shot.
Not sure if I would put my G-Shock into same photo as my Sub - different classes ! (my G-Shock is at Casio right now, the case holes for the spring bars gouged out. Not so tough, eh?) |

This is what it's all about! Finding your happy medium in horology and choosing the piece that fits your lifestyle best! Looks great Seth! I need to start wearing my 710 more often! Chris aka TheGMTMaster would be proud! Great choice and my preference over a Submariner! Congrats! Shake and Bake!

Great watch and a great beverage! If you like Don Julio then try something called Carralejo. Darn good silver tequila. Btw, I had the gmt IIc and loved it. Ended up flipping it for a Daytona. Enjoy!!

Love the daytona. That was one that I sold tho. Miss it already, but for me was less of an everyday watch.

Thanks all. Appreciate the comments. Half the fun is posting about stuff here.
And now, I will feel very accountable in terms of my goals.

And Chris was actually a big influence on me. All his posts touting how superior this watch is just kind of wore me down. I hated not owning one.

Congrats! I too prefer brushed center links.
As for no more flipping - with only one Rolex it should be easier. Let's wait 90 days and reassess the situation.

Similar set-up Seth
went to just my Submariner 16610 and a G Shock. It is a pretty good set-up becuase both of those watches are so durable. If I wear the G Shock on the weekend I can;t wait to wear the Sub on Monday!
