Gmt love love love
I picked up my first rolex two weeks ago - a 1999 gmt - and I love that watch - I love it so much I got myself reading more abount rolex and the gmt and found the GMT Master IIc - wow what a watch
I am now going to pick up my brand new GMT Master IIc tomorrow - I can't wait - so the 1999 model has to go (sadly) to help fund the new one - I am well and truly hooked. and I thought I was a breitling man!  I will post some photo's when I get the the camera up and running John

I think that the classic GMT's are perfect, much more comfortable and versatile with the ability to change up inserts.

You'll love that new GMT Master IIc.
I traded my 1999 GMT Master 16700 in on one 5 months ago and haven't regretted it.

green sticker and bracelet
Hey all.
I just got my first rolex, and its a GMT master 2 two tone yellow gold and steel. 2 things got me worried after looking at some forums. 1st, i dont have the green sticker most rolex watches have on their backs, and there's a weird clicking feeling at the at the top of the bracelet clasp. i got it from an official dealer and everything, but should i be worried? abs |
