Well I'll be wearing the TT Black Sub as usual. I've just put my PAM93 up for sale through Shane (the Southern Jessie) so that regrettably will no longer adorn my wrist.

Why would you miss a two timer, CJ?

I've been alternating between the Crosswind and Exp-II.

Nah, let it be. Ed's been trying desperately to regain his Numero Uno position as Tosser #1. That pic might just about do it with the comments he will let fly after he sees it!!

At least send Frans a copy. It appears as though it would match his new shoes quite well.

Good question, Phil!!

The story is that I picked up that very watch you see above sometime last September for a song (just $2400 brand new from an AD). I sold it off 3½ months later only to be replaced by the black dial Exp-II.

There are conflicting tastes on that watch. Some of the guys just love it, but I know one nice gentleman who gets a coronary every time he views it. The person in question is Ed (Rockrolex). So we put that pic up from time to time just have to some fun with him, that's all.

Actually, in person it's quite a nice looking watch with a great deal of heft (a whopping 222 grams) and excellent finish. Also runs the newer Co-axial Chronometer movement. Comes with a black bezel as well and in 2 sizes - 42 mm and the larger (as above) 45.5 mm.

Cheers - JJ

it is nothing major it just happens that orange is Ed's favorite color. he wishes that all GMT's came with orange Bezels because he is so enamored with the planet ocean.



all the best,
Jason

If James changes that all black GMT-II bezel to orange, Ed will charter a flight to Melbourne and kill the bugger!!
