Christmas Rolexes

Wife just sent me these pictures and I wanted to share. Not sure why she put them on ice, mostly likely, some sort of subliminal hint.

These were under the tree.





Wife talked me into buying this one Saturday. I must say thanks to Prince and Dan as they were the inspiration to choose this style of GMT.



Here they are together.



There is something terribly wrong wth this picture. Can you spot the problem.



Last picture for now.

Hey,
Don't blame me pal!
Joe,
Those are GREAT examples! The GMT w/ the nipple dial is really growing on me.
Excellent!

It was your GMT on a JUB bracelet that got me thinking about my next purchase. Then I saw Prince's "Root Beer" GMT and I decided I must have the two combinations in one watch. Funny in a way..... if you think about it; most members here like SS, Oyster bracelets, dislike TTs, and generally do not like the "Root Beer" face and bezel on a GMT. Looks like I got all the dislikes in one watch! Beauty is, indeed, in the eye beholder.

Well done Joe! You just don't see them in the wild very often and I love that.

Love that Serti GMT.

As for what's wrong with the picture, I'd say you have 2 empty slots.

I would say the time on the root beer is a tad off.

Yes, you are spot on and I have fixed that little problem.
