Happy! Got a GMT II
Hi!

I just got back from the AD, I turned in a 16610 with an aftermarket bezel on it and a crappy dial and got a brand new in box GMT 2





I had the 16610 for like two days, the dial looked and felt so fake, it was too glossy, the bezel it had nice diamonds but it was not looking properly (see my other post)

I fell in love with this GMT! Hope you like it!

Agreed! I'm not a fan of bling watches. Nice gmt. Don't obsess over the scratches and swirls that those pcls are going to pick up.

Thanks for the advice, over the time, I learned things are meant to be used, if it gets really scratched you can always take it somewhere and have it polished!

Do the ceramic bezel get scratched over the time with regular use?

Thank you!

I've banged mine against all kinds of things and not a mark. I'm sure you could scratch or crack it but it would take some work. The longer I have my watch, the more impressed I am with it.

Congrats! What did they give you for that Sub? Or did you trade outright with them?
