Just arrived...
Hi All,
I just yesterday acquired this piece up from DavidSW and thought I’d share it with the forum. Sorry, I need to work on my photography skills Just recently married, this watch was a wedding gift from my wife. A few years ago while discussing engagement ring options; I questioned the tradition of the bride receiving a high priced symbol of commitment while the groom traditionally receives nothing but the bill for said symbol. To my surprise, she completely agreed and said that when our day comes she’d happily buy me the timepiece of my choosing. Well here we are two years later and my wife is a woman of her word. This one’s a keeper for sure (both the watch and the wife). I’d like to thank all of you good people for the endless amounts of photos, information, and reviews that have been posted on this forum which aided me in making my decision to buy. I’d also like to thank DavidSW for providing me with such a beautiful piece and amazing deal. Cheers GMT Master II 116710 Serial G1*****

Very nice! And I agree with you and your wife! Congrats!
Is there a reason to why the GMT hand do not show the same time as the hour hand? I guess so (it is the purpose of the watch after all...) Tell us which time zones your're following! Best, A |

Good for you, and if the pcl's start to get scratches , remember you can always have them brushed out.
