The SS GMT IIc I bought on Wednesday, Nov 21st came with the new book, so it looks like Rolex is finally packaging the new book with the watch. And what a watch it is. After three days, it has lost a little less than a second!

thanks!

I got the old booklet with my IIC.

So I telephoned Rolex Australia to get a copy of the new booklet. They basically told me bad luck and tell someone that gives a damn.
Maybe I'll try again.
Thanks for posting the new booklet. Seems like they left out the third timezone function?

Not sloppy, just environmentally friendly, they used the old booklets that they had left in stock so they didn't waste all that paper material.

I'm not sure that it's just being environmentally friendly. I recieved a Sub booklet with my recent SD purchase and they have been separate watches for 40 years. I think Rolex could do a better job in this regard.

I was first to report this here:

Mine came with the new booklet - purchased 10/20.

Interesting items to note:

The Style # "N" only, (not LN)

The Serial # "M"

Thanks for posting this

Also, it's nice to see you wearing your watch and enjoying it

One question, when adjusting the 24 hr hand on the new GMT's does it sweep across the dial or jump?

It jumps in 1-hour intervals.

I was referring to the green hand, sorry. Does this jump also?

It sweeps. The jump hour feature involves the 12 hr. hand.

Ah, sorry. I guess I "jumped into conclusions"

TheDude · 28 November 2007, 12:40 PM

Haha - nice Office Space reference.

BTW, the date can be adjusted backwards when setting the 12 hour hand... don't know if this is new or not, but my AD seemed surprised when it happened as he was setting mine upon delivery.

APC · 28 November 2007, 03:56 PM

I tried one on and it just floored me. I know it will be my next watch.

Andad · 28 November 2007, 07:03 PM

Excellent booklet

I got my GMT TT II new from Daniel Szeto (shop_ at_ newbury) in the States. Perfect Rolex but it came with the old booklet. I will give him a tug and see if I can get a new booklet.

Thanks Eddie, I knew you'd come through for me

PS: Nice photo, very clear

Andad · 28 November 2007, 08:04 PM

Hi Steve,

Saw your post.
I sent Daniel a second email asking if he can get a new booklet for you.

Lol-x · 28 November 2007, 08:09 PM

Hey Eddie, I was only joking, but it is in fact possible that would be totally awesome and much appreciated

Andad · 28 November 2007, 08:12 PM

By the way Steve,

I sent the second request before I read your second last post. I told Daniel if he could get a new booklet for you (

) he would be the 'Rolex Supplier' for the Forum.

Lol-x · 28 November 2007, 08:30 PM

Sure Eddie anything, one good turn deserves another, especially after I got a dead end from Rolex at my end.
