Do not walk into an AD that is carrying the new GMT Master 2 Green Hand...

Because once you put it on your hand... it's very difficult to take it off...

SPACE-DWELLER · 25 August 2007, 08:39 PM

Congrats!

leopardprey · 25 August 2007, 09:00 PM

See alot of the new SS GMT IIs at ADs in HOng Kong, or still rare in Hong Kong?

TimeOnHand · 25 August 2007, 09:26 PM

This one I got through a Grey Market Dealer!

frostie · 25 August 2007, 09:37 PM

WOW a great purchase. Stunning watch and stunning pics. Wear this watch in good health. Rolex has sold a lot SS gmt II watches. Do you think that it is the best seller for 2007?

Lol-x · 25 August 2007, 09:40 PM

Great photos, I love the look of this new GMT congratulations

:thubmsup:
Is that some sort of computer chip (white sticker) on the side of the case, I haven't seen those before?

Yes, they are on all new Rolex watches. Mine wasn't white, though, but black and smaller.

frostie · 25 August 2007, 09:43 PM

What's the purpose of the barcode? Is the AD scanning the barcode when you buy the watch?

No, Rolex uses the information in the bar code for records of their factory stock.

frostie · 25 August 2007, 09:46 PM

Ok thanks for the info.

Flyjet601 · 25 August 2007, 10:19 PM

Whoaaaa.......

Enjoy it

Robb · 25 August 2007, 10:24 PM

Congrats!! You will love it.

Obsession · 25 August 2007, 10:38 PM

WOW what a beauty!!! And TT version of this GMT II made me to change my mind and I decided to buy GMT II instead of Blue TT after having money.

Dan Pierce · 25 August 2007, 11:05 PM

Thanks for the warning but my wife already did.

Congrats.

If you examine the bar code closely, you will see it actually says "Made in China". This is since most of the new Rolex Models have the majority of thier inner parts outsourced these days in Rolex owned manufacturing plants in China. This is one way Rolex has been able to keep the prices of thier watches down and why there will not be a price increase this year.

Mine is black dial, TT (rose) & jubilee.

pegase747 · 26 August 2007, 05:22 PM

Hi Kevin,

congratulations from a coworker

Still I prefer the old classic GMT-II

TimeOnHand · 26 August 2007, 06:09 PM

Pegase747...

Hey there... Did you change your bezel to the All Black? or is this another one in your collection?

I love the classic Pepsi as well!

pegase747 · 26 August 2007, 06:15 PM

Hi Kevin,

Same watch, no way I let it go, it saw so much already !

I have this all black bezel insert, and still have the original Pepsi, I asked to an AD the swap inserts once the bezel popped out and I lost the click spring.

So now i have both

. For work, I find the all black more discreet.

I see that you didn't leave the Rolex world for long time, I call it addiction !

Cheers / Pierre

Gaijin · 26 August 2007, 07:47 PM

I am slowly being converted. I feel I want the new SS GMT II.

Hard to pass up. Great looks and maxi dial.
