Harvey, that's the price before the hike (or when it was discontinued). Well done :)

Big congrats, Harvey!

thanks guy, i appreciate the comments... im dedicating the buying of this watch to all the forum members here... without your guidance, support and encouragement... i wouldnt have got it. thats why buying it means a lot to me.
for the time being, i am pretty content with the ones ive got... im suprised im even saying this... normally ive got my eye on something or other...

Harvey congratulations on your new Rolex
Glad that you had a great time. And that I was able to help a fellow TRF member. Isn't that GMT ICE something else. But not for me.

yeh ive noticed over the last 2 weeks, there have been a flurry of gmt II purchases by uk forum members... getting scarcer...none of them were m series though... by the way just a funny story... a guy gave all his valued personal possesions to his brother, incase he ever got divorced. guess what...his brother got divorced and his wife took half his stuff lol silly i kno but it makes me laugh
