What a feeling
First of, happy Lunar new year to all of you on the forum ( year of the horse, by the way.) Due to several unfortunated events that had happened to me the last two years, I had to let go all of my collection. Now that I have been able to get back on my feet and refused to let "events" pulled me down, with the desire to get back, I have been able to save so I can afford to "wear" the watches that I love so much. I would like to thank Brian ( watchaddict3) for an ultra safe and smooth transaction for the watch. Here it is, just like 6 years ago, without hesitation, without a doubt, I chose it first...........A SS GMT IIC. This is, to me, the most "completed" sport watches in Rolex line up. Enjoy.

Well done Ducky and a nice choice.
The SS GMT IIc incorporates a lot of the nicer Rolex features. Maxi dial. New clasp. PCL's. 2nd (and third) time zones. Date. The 3186 movement. Ceramic bezel (pity about the lack of half hour increments for us South Aussies).

Fantastic! It really is a great feeling wearing a fine watch that you worked hard and earned.
Glad you got it back and I am sure the rest of the collection will follow!
