There is an actual watch to see if you scroll down, none of this business of showing a box or a FedEx status page

Over the years I've owned an insane amount of watches but for whatever reason this one hasn't made its way until now.

And it's bloody overdue considering I've tried it on at least 50 times.

Here it is, the best modern Rolex money can buy, and to quote our dear old mate JJ, you can take that to the bank!

EDIT: potential spoiler alert! after Patrick (PSV) got his I knew the time had come!!

Classic cheap-arse white outer cardboard box

Lovely Rolex green

Getting close

Brand new GMT IIC

Freshly dated 18 July 2013, also the hottest day of the year in the UK!

Another one

Nothing like an unmolested full set Rolex waiting to have the stickers ripped off like a whore's knickers!

sweet

Lots of stickers

Time to resize

And we're all set!

Beating the squeaking out of the bracelet with a nice pint of Guinness

Ahhhh

And that's it folks, trust you all enjoyed yet another TRF incoming!

psv · 20 July 2013, 06:56 AM

I had nothing to do with it, I promise... ;-)

And you know I agree, best Rolex in the modern lineup, even if I still think it is a bit on the shiny side.

Many congrats, mate! Celebrate it with another pint!

HL65 · 20 July 2013, 06:56 AM
