I'm both happy and sad...

Just got my GMT Master II back from RSC NY. While it was gone, I found this site and have spent quite a few hours here learning a lot and drooling over the elegant timepieces you all have. I was having withdrawal throes and was ready to buy another watch.

Well, I got my watch back yesterday after five weeks, and while at the AD, almost two hours away, I looked over all the watches and didn't see anything I liked better than what I have. I'm glad I have the one I really want (have had it for 17 years) but disappointed I don't have a burning desire for a new one...

I was tempted by a coke GMT II though.

Hey, the one you've got looks good and I bet you felt great, when you got it back.

I'm sure that the urge to acquire another model to join it will soon return.

For nine years my GMT II was my only Rolex and the only watch I wanted. Since joining this forum in January I've purchased three more Rolex watches.

You have been warned.

Have ever felt platnium on your wrist, try on some other rolex timepieces, you will be surprised at your reaction , i have a real jones about purchasing a ss plat yachtmaster right now, i just wish i could find it with a bluedial instead of silver, platnium and blue that just sounds so hot, only a dream.

I few years ago all the sport watches were amazing, now I find that all the new models don't do it for me anymore. For me, it's the general direction that Rolex is heading, I just don't like it.

You can purchase a bezel insert and make your GMT a Coke (or Pepsi, or whatever, you can switch it back and forth to whatever suits your mood). The GMT also looks good on a jubilee bracelet for another different look.

<in annoying TV announcer voice> The GMT is like a whole handful of watches rolled into one giganormous package!

Take a look at what these guys did.

All of you may be right...the more I've read today, the yearnings are starting to stir.

It's nice to see someone satisfied with what they have.

The watch depicted in my avatar is what I have. Nothing else stirs my heart quite like she does!
