My first Rolex...

A GMT-Master II Ceramic!

A great watch and wears a bit bigger for a Rolex.

Some quick and dirty shots.

I couldn't agree more, the GMT is probably the most useful sport watch. It looks good on you.

Congratulations! Did the same thing exactly one week ago today. I now look at my wrist all the time without caring what time it is.

You need to go ahead and get two time zones going (I see you are in daylight so assume you are not 12 hours off GMT).

Thanks everyone for your kind words!

I tried almost all of the models I was after i.e. Explorer II, Submariner, Seadweller 16600, Seadweller DS and the the GMT-Master II C which I finally liked more and purchased it! The deal was a good one as well for 4300 euros.

Cheers,
Antonis
