Great watch, congratulations.

Black GMT is coming back next year. Guarantee it. They’re getting things set up to switch the movement.

I was a little disappointed that they wouldn’t negotiate at all from list even with my offer to buy an additional watch for my wife. So I passed on the second watch and made my way home.

Exchange rate was nice, I was out the door for $7750 US

That's a nice little discount! Good job. Did you buy that up in Toronto? Curious how the CDN dealers are treating US customers. I almost feel like they'd make it a priority to keep these watches local knowing the exchange rate - not that a profit isn't a profit, though.

Excellent choice, btw. EXP2's are, or at least were, extremely underrated GMT's.

I've heard from a SA at a local AD (rumor) that all GMT's are supposedly moving to bi-color, so I wouldn't count on the black model being revived that quickly if at all. Whether that's true or not still doesn't discount the fact it was just discontinued.
