Dilemma....Solved!

Hi everyone, first post here been lurking for a few months. Anyway, I bought a 16622 SS/PT yachtmaster about 3 years ago, and ever since I have had it it was running about 3 minutes a week fast. i wore it every day as it was my only watch, so in that time it picked up some scraatches on the bracelet, but I was very careful not to scratch or dent the case and bezel. Well, I wandered into my local AD where I purchased my YM from to look at the new models and during my conversation my sales rep reminded me that my watch was still covered under their 2 year extended warranty. Basically, they said not only could I get it regulated, but they would do a complete service for no charge!

Well, that was great news to me, but what do I do while my watch is in the shop for a month? Answer....I take the plunge and treat myself to a brand new SS GMT IIc! After careful consideration, I picked this simply because my eye kept going back to it, and I couldn't be happier! They even included my first service free and 4 free polishings any time. Here's a quick iphone pic:
