Congrats Warren
Be careful taking your watch off in the bathroom. Rolex tells me a lot of watches get damaged when they hit the tiled bathroom floor
Enjoy your new GMT, I'm wearing mine now and it is such a striking watch

I thought you had defected over to those oversized, male inadequacy, leather strap (bondage issues ?) models....

Thanks for your reminder. Actually Bathroom is the only place (Fluorescent lamps) to get the true colour.

I think I'd be more afraid of cracking the tile floor with the watch if it fell and hit it!

Congrats on a great watch!

I hope you don't wear it in public with the plastic wrappers on...that would be a bit much.

posts like these have gotten alot of us into trouble

I'm still counting down the days until I get mine...
seeing your wrist shot just makes anticipation grow...

way to go!
Great choice..
now take those stickers off and let it live...

one question for the group...my AD said he had to keep the rectangular tag with the msrp on it... but there it is in your 'box shot' (on another forum that term would be much less civil)... Are they traditionally given or not?
..It doesn't really matter either way, just curious.

Congratulations, Warren - a marvellous watch you've got there.

As Lol-x has said - take care in the bathroom with that new beauty - those places really are the chambers of horrors for a watch, with hard tiles, taps etc etc . . . .
