back on the forum for first time in years

wonder what the new news is?

couple years back i had bought a GMTII-C for myself and a lil oyster for my wife .. some horrible things happened and i had to sell off the GMT ...

i havent even had the nerve to log on here, or look at a jeweler in the last couple years .. just sorta depressing ..

anyways .. happy to be back, and im back in the market soon .. noticing the ceramic sub and wondering how it looks in person compared to the GMT .. the polished links on the GMT spoke to me, but also didnt like the scratching that happened even if it was very minor .. still havent ruled out a good ol date sub used either, or even no date

not convinced im going to get another just yet, but looking at the selling prices man i always knew these held value, but the last couple years has brought prices up a bit it seems! ..

anyways, just sayin hey to everyone .. few will remember me .. let me know if anything happened good or bad with the major members here in the last few years .. i miss everyone!

welcome back and sorry to hear about ur GMT, the explorer II just got revamped up to a 42mm case, just a heads up if you want to take a look into that. The sub-c is a wonderful piece and you literally cant go wrong with it since its always flippable.

Todd,
Welcome back. I remember you from a couple of years ago as we joined TRF within days of each other.
Nice to see you get things in order and back on the watch hunt!
Phil

Welcome back! Make sure to enjoy "the hunt" now for something nice! The new Submariner is well worth checking out, as is the new Explorer II (if you like larger watches).

Best,

A

Nice to meet you - only been on here for a little while but - It's everybody going on and on and on about Rolex - which I guess it was when you logged off for a while.


It's damn good company -

Welcome back. The gmtII C will probably be my next Rolex. I'm looking to get an omega first though since I have 2 Rolexs already.
