Posted Recently about consolidating my collection to one. Sold them all off and bought a BNIB GMT IIC.

I believe this to be the perfect all around watch. I don't need anything that will take me to the abyss, but I prefer the sport/tool look on a watch, while still offering the ability to dress it up if necessary. I actually had the PCL's brushed. I like them on other watches, but on this one, I prefer the brushed look.

My goal is to wait until after next Basel to buy another watch and then make it a yearly thing. Not always a new release, per say, but keeping that as a standard for me. AND NO MORE FLIPPING!!!!!!

I will update you guys and let you know if my plan works. I have tried things like this before, but it has always been an epic fail.

Anywho, a couple of pics to mark my celebration:

Congrats!! Looks really nice

DJJon · 15 September 2012, 12:56 AM

Congrats. Like the fortune cookie shot.

Not sure if I would put my G-Shock into same photo as my Sub - different classes !

(my G-Shock is at Casio right now, the case holes for the spring bars gouged out. Not so tough, eh?)

travisb · 15 September 2012, 12:57 AM

Nice! Enjoy it!
Like those pics too!

patek.wis · 15 September 2012, 01:25 AM

Congrats seth
Didnt think youd do it
but you could NOT have picked a better watch

mailman · 15 September 2012, 01:27 AM

Nice purchase Seth

I like it with the brushed center links. Enjoy it

floater156 · 15 September 2012, 01:29 AM

That's a badass watch!

TSW · 15 September 2012, 01:41 AM

sierra11b · 15 September 2012, 01:57 AM

Great choice that will give you many years of enjoyment.

texex91 · 15 September 2012, 03:03 AM

Great one to have if only one...now let's see how long you can hold out

FremStar · 15 September 2012, 03:26 AM

This is what it's all about! Finding your happy medium in horology and choosing the piece that fits your lifestyle best! Looks great Seth! I need to start wearing my 710 more often! Chris aka TheGMTMaster would be proud! Great choice and my preference over a Submariner! Congrats! Shake and Bake!

z32turbo · 15 September 2012, 03:28 AM

Congrats the GMTIIC looks great!!!!

DULLYJAY · 15 September 2012, 03:29 AM

Nice watch & ink.

Goodwill63 · 15 September 2012, 03:33 AM

Great watch and a great beverage! If you like Don Julio then try something called Carralejo. Darn good silver tequila. Btw, I had the gmt IIc and loved it. Ended up flipping it for a Daytona. Enjoy!!

Gerardus · 15 September 2012, 03:53 AM

Nice!

I will try that for sure. Killed half that bottle last night.

Love the daytona. That was one that I sold tho. Miss it already, but for me was less of an everyday watch.

superdog · 15 September 2012, 04:00 AM

Thanks all. Appreciate the comments. Half the fun is posting about stuff here.

And now, I will feel very accountable in terms of my goals.

Thanks Sam.

And Chris was actually a big influence on me. All his posts touting how superior this watch is just kind of wore me down. I hated not owning one.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 15 September 2012, 04:12 AM

Congrats! I too prefer brushed center links.

As for no more flipping - with only one Rolex it should be easier. Let's wait 90 days and reassess the situation.

watchwatcher · 15 September 2012, 05:57 AM

Well, if you're just going to have one, that's the one.

It looks fantastic! Congrats and wear in good health!

nyyankees · 15 September 2012, 06:08 AM

went to just my Submariner 16610 and a G Shock. It is a pretty good set-up becuase both of those watches are so durable. If I wear the G Shock on the weekend I can;t wait to wear the Sub on Monday!
