Sorry, all I have is a camera phone, but I figured bad pics is better than none at all!

I was going to buy one for my 30th birthday. But after trolling this site for a while (I posted a bit) and visiting my local AD once or twice a week for the last few months, I couldn't wait anymore! So, I am a new proud owner of a red/black GMT-II

I also considered the Seadweller, but I have small wrists and didn't like how high it sat off my wrist.

And I also considered a 2 tone black/gold sub, but just thought I'd be happier with an all stainless in the long run. I also thought the features of the GMT would be better suited for me since I do travel a bit but rarely dive (and never past 50 ft).

Mostly, I love the red/black bezel!

Thank you! And thanks for all the information. One thing this site really helped me decide was that I wanted to buy from a local AD and establish a good relationship because I know this won't be my last!

Honestly, I don't think there is anything anyone can do to make me want another one more! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate my watch very much, but I am thinking that I will get another one someday, while keeping this one. Basically, I planning to collect these, but I can't afford to buy more than one at once

'course, if the AD calls and tells me they have a white SS Daytona, I'll be running there!

colemanitis · 15 March 2007, 04:59 AM

cbrenthus, where in FL are you?

What can I say... I'd rather have the watch than a nice camera!

You two should meet up for lunch....then you, Jeff, can take some nice pics of his new GMT-II!!

astcell · 15 March 2007, 05:05 AM

Hey I am in Tampa! We need to get together before I leave the US for a year.

I am available between March 22 and April 6. How about a Tampa meet? We can gather at one of the nice restaurants at the International Plaza.

Someone needs to help w/ those pics, that's for sure!

I'm around 5-6 hrs away, so I'd have to leave at 6AM to get there by lunch time.

And enter the photographer!

astcell · 15 March 2007, 05:11 AM

Sunday, April 1 seems appropriate somehow. What do you think? That way folks from St Auguistine can chime in.

cbrenthus · 15 March 2007, 05:16 AM

I could probably do a late lunch/early dinner on the 31st. I am going to a kayak demo thing to try a few out that day, so probably the later the better!

Also, coincidently, I may pick up a digital SLR sometime this year, too. I am planning on buying a kayak to reward myself for staying on my diet/exercise program for 12 weeks (which will be 4/7) and losing 10-15 lbs (so far). Anyway, part of the reason for the kayak is to help me get in even better shape, and once I buy it, I will set a body fat % goal. When I reach that goal, camera time baby!
