Time to put up or shut up.

As mentioned in some of my posts over the last few months, I've been drooling over the GMT Ceramics, but needed to wait until March or April to snag one. While things were timing out, I was distracted by a good deal on a 16613 TT Blue Sub. But, I really never cared much for Subs, and it was flipped a few weeks later. So, today was the day. I picked up this Random #'d Ceramic, in primo condition. It was sold new in Dec, worn a few times, and in Feb. it was back on the market. Like new, has all the stuff, plus warranty card. I think I'm gonna love it.

Well congrats. I must admit I was expecting something totally different after your thread title.

That's a nice acquisition - envy here - it's one of the models I haven't had over the years.
