I changed my mind......

[spuds]

Evening Gent's......


So I eventually got to my AD's today with the intention of viewing the DJII he has in stock to be my second 'heirloom piece' along with the LV I already have on hold & awaiting my bonus next month.....

& as I walk up to the window there it is.....
.... not just speaking to me but positively whispering sweet seductive tones straight to my sub-conscious....

(no mean feat for a watch to make itself heard so clearly by a deaf guy..... )




the beautiful GMT IIc!!!!


long story short I tried my baby on & she just felt ..... "right".


the bigger case.....
the heavier bracelet.....
the maxi-dial that I love so much on the LV.....
the crisp, perfect, bezel......
& boys that clasp alone is worth the extra £4-500!!
(it's been bugging me ever since I put a deposit on the LV that Rolex haven't had the decency to upgrade that clasp ever since my 1996? Explorer II... & the 'thin-ness' of the clasp drove me nuts me when I had that one!!)


so I swopped over my deposit from the LV to the GMT.....
& my AD's ordered me two DJII's to view for my second purchase; which are the black with white batons & the rhodium with arabic numerals (gotta love that lume!!).

The DJII that I tried on had a great "feel on the wrist" to it but to be honest the two tone bracelet, gold bezel, champagne face & diamond markers was a little too "bling"..... even for me!!
(dare I say almost..... "Christmas Carcker-ish"?!?!?)



I have a feeling that I'll end up getting the GMT in January/February & then waiting for the new Sub (IF it's announced at Basel?) for the second watch & if there's no new Sub this year I'll still grab the other LV that's also on order.....
but who knows what'll happen when I see the other DJII's in the flesh eh......??
