Two New Additions...

Call me crazy but i guess that's why I am a WIS...


For some time now I have been buying and selling my watches in order to build up my Holy Trinity... I have Three Grails that I want in my collection...
1. Gold Daytona
2. Gold GMT
3. Plat Day Date

So yesterday I bought my second Grail... the GMT...


Along with my GMT Gold I also picked up another watch... a TT GMT... I have always loved this watch... In the past I sold a TT GMT only to fund the Daytona... I am glad to have this one back in my collection again...

Rolex GMT watches have a long association with Aviation and I am glad to be a part of it!

Thank you for looking and sharing my excitement.


GMT MASTER - Gold














GMT MASTER - Two Tone

Thought there was a policy of no gun or knife related posts on this forum.

Anyway, to the OP: agree-congrats on a beautiful watch!

The all gold GMTIIC is quickly becoming a grail for me. Haven't decided between that and a yellow gold Sub C.

Absolutely beautiful pieces. I have noticed more GMT-c gold watches in the wild than all-gold ceramic subs.
