First Rolex!
I am a proud new owner of a Z serial Exp II black dial. I was thinking about a GMT II, but when I put the exp II on I had to have it. I think i got a good deal, what do you guys think? Z serial not a scratch on it box, but no papers. This worried me a bit, but it is from a reputable dealer and he had the watchsmith open the case show me the movement, took off the bracelet and show me the serial numbers, he could tell i was i little worried so he said I could return it within 90 days or if I take it somewhere and something is not original. So I got it for 3500 with my old watch it the box shipped to my sister out of state so no sales tax. Anyway I love the watch and will post pictures soon.
