Congrats!!!! Yeah they really are nicer in the metal than in pics (no offense on the pics you took)! Hated it when I first saw pics but was a convert when I saw one in the wild. Thought it was the LN... But when the owner moved his wrist, there was a tinge of green!!! Gorgeous!!

Hi there A sharp well in all honesty I loved my GMT2C but in the end had to sell due to needing some emergency funds at the time. So while I did miss it I thought it was crazy buying another of the same model when there are so many others to try. As I mentioned when I saw the hulk in person I was blown away! It's a bit more simple on the dial and bezel although the GMT hand was so cool for holidays etc the sub is very slick. if I was to build on my collection in a year or two from now I would seriously need to see the new BLNR one in the flesh too as I would love another GMT one day. I think the LV in ceramic is just a really fun Rolex it doesn't take itself too seriously and I quite like that about it.

Glad you like the pics!

Congrats. I had a similar story but I was at the brand new Mappin & Webb in Chester. This is the best pic I've taken of the dial.

Congrats, and lucky you, the crown on the rehaut seems to be perfectly aligned with the 12 o'clock marker!
Just wondering for those of you with new acquisitions, is the serial number still printed on the case at 6 o'clock or is it just on the rehaut? I'm asking because on my brand new Exp2 42mm there is no serial number on the case!

TIA

A few weeks into ownership and I am loving this watch more and more. It's running about 26 secs fast a week which I gather is perfectly acceptable? It's such a strong and well built watch I have swam, steamed, cycled and even played golf with no problems at all!
