just picked up my GMT Mater II Coke 16710 today! I will have pics up tonight. Feels lighter than my Bond Seamaster and looks smaller too. Feels great to finally own one of my favorite watches. I would like to thank this forum for all the helpful info to keep my watch addiction going. Now time to lust after another one!

Meanwhile, please allow me to posts some pics that C.J. posted a while back. He has the "Pepsi" GMT II. Although you have the "Bond" version of the SMP, the size is still the same as the one C.J. has:

As he stated:

"There's definitely a size difference. But, the SMP is just so comfy to wear"

Nice score on the GMT. A classic by any standard.

Don't let weight be an indicator as to how "tough" a given watch is. Your GMT is among the strongest most reliable watches in any condition on the planet.

Well done.

Congrats on the GMT.

The most versatile reference Rolex has to offer.

Wear it in good health.

This is the most friendly forum I have ever been on. Thanks everyone! My grandpa wore omega and my dad wears omega/rolex. I guess its in my genetics to wear them.
I can't get over how light the gmt feels, the bracelet feels feather light. Are the links supposed to be even on each side? I have a monster 6.5 inch wrist and have 6 links on one side and 5 on the other. The watch seems to be flopping over towards 12 o clock
side. Thanks for helping out a first day rolie newbie.

Check out Sheldon's site for some tips on sizing the bracelet.
