Introducing: The Ghost

So after my long wait, I am super thrilled to post this years last incoming (by me anyway).

It was a long tough decision process for me. I had been thinking about WG for a while and then I decided maybe to go with the YG. I tend to make pretty quick decision, and then pay for the after, but this one to me a pretty long time.

I was also questioning the dial choice. Then, I looked at other brands.....

But I just like that Rolex watches are built like a tank. I like that it is an everyday watch. And I like that it is stunningly beautiful, without being too flashy.

I could not be happier. I love the way it sits on my wrist. The case size and dimensions are super. It is totally in balance. I have yet to take off the stickers, or size it, as I want to take my time when I get home from work. But, I have been wearing it, and loving every moment.

Thanks to those that provided feedback and advice. And thanks to the great DavidSW for his super service, pricing and patience.

The obligatory pics:

You are correct Jay. Right now, GMTC and this (plus my Breitling Airwolf)
I'd like to believe that between these two, it will keep me satisfied for a while.

It is very heavy. First few moments, I was thinking "whoa, this is heavy", but got used to it fast. Already it feels great.



And thanks all you guys, it is fun to be able to share the moment.....
