Never heard 'em described that way. Sounds about right to me

Great choice..
now take those stickers off and let it live...

one question for the group...my AD said he had to keep the rectangular tag with the msrp on it... but there it is in your 'box shot' (on another forum that term would be much less civil)... Are they traditionally given or not?
..It doesn't really matter either way, just curious.
Hi super,

In my place, AD will normally give the rectangular tag (serial no. on it) to the customer. But sometimes not for Rolex from pre-owned shops. And purchase of Rolex from Hong Kong AD, both rectangular and round tags are the major items that come with the watch itself.

As Lol-x has said - take care in the bathroom with that new beauty - those places really are the chambers of horrors for a watch, with hard tiles, taps etc etc . . . .
Thank and I realized that bathroom seems to be the "Restricted Area" of Rolex.

I don't know why, GMT IIc becomes the hottest model in Hong Kong recently as a lots of new threads in local discussion forum.

The GMT II c is a beautiful watch. We need to start our own club of GMT owners here. I wish someone would start one of those graph things again so we could see how many of us are out there on the forum either owning the SS version or TT. I have the TT version and love the watch.

Congratulations and wear this bad baby in good health .

Take the plastic off though.

Terry - you'll have to start one of the 'graph things', to see what's out there.

Like you, I love my TT GMT IIc.
