2 GMT II, 10 years of history

One is from 2001
One is from 2011
Big difference, both are special

Nice

I'm looking to do the same Mark.

I've got my GMTIIC, and I will hopefully have its older brother next week. I've wanted the Pepsi for awhile now. I think the Pepsi is a great looking watch. I'm working on pairing it up with a Super Jubilee bracelet too.

I love those 2. They are different enough that I could rationalize owning both. Only thing is I can't rationalize buying anymore watches right now because my wife would kill me! lol

Dan, I really think it is a shame your wife would even consider doing something like that. How can she possibly consider depriving you like this. I recomend that you get a few more, I think you deserve better.

But before doing so could you modify your will and stipulate all of your watches go to me in case something happens. I think you should cover all of your bases just in case.

You guys need to keep your women in-line. By the way, my older GMT is going back to the original coke bezel next week, and the new one is at the body shop getting a new date wheel. Hoping Bob can get it back in the next few weeks. He's got my Yacht-Master as well, gettin that one fixed up too. The wait is killing me.

Awesome pair!
Although a bigger fan of non-ceramic models, GMT IIc is growing on me each day!
