Incoming x2!!!
Totally impulse. Wife and I were out and about today to get her a new dress and I noticed a jewelry/watch store by the mall. We went in "just to take a quick look." My wife has always made fun of me for being such a watch nut. .....well, 20 minutes later we walked out with these:

Congrats
 Just a quick question, do you know the history behind your GMT? Age? Service history? Reason I ask is that watch appears to have been refurbished at some point, and it unfortunately does not look like this was undergone at Rolex.. .. Easiest way to tell is, the 12:00 side of the bracelet, look at the polished centre links, they appear to be quite rounded of and have a "buffed" look about them..

I understand what you are saying after looking at the picture, but it does not look "rounded" in person, I think the light is altering the photo.

Double congrats on the couple for the couple!
I think you'll still be made fun of for being a watch nut though.

Haha, I'm not so sure she'll make fun of me AS much at least. I've caught her staring at hers a few times already! I think I can convert her, now all I need to do is get her to sign up here!!

Thanks for all the kind words. We are quite happy with them.
