Icon7 The trigger...has been pulled! GMT !!!

Well, I finally took some action yesterday and picked up my first Rolex. I've been debating back and forth about Sub vs. GMT for easily 3 months or so but after trying them both on, the GMT was my choice. Super happy with it and am glad I made a decision (finally). Not the greatest pics (and apologies for the formatting) but...even my wife says she likes it and the kids, well, they say it is very "shiny and pretty". I will take that as a positive endorsement!! Have a great weekend guys

Very nice - the green on the dial and the 24 hour hand makes the watch special - and the blue lume I like too
