3 Down 3 to Go

I've set a goal to have an example of each of the GMT's with the exception of the 6542 which I just couldn't swing dollar wise unless I find one in a barn. I'm not concerning myself with the subtle differences that the true collectors love, like underlines, gilts, no date,etc. I just want a nice example of a 1675, 16700, 16760, 16750, 16710 and 116710. I took a step closer and plucked this V series 116710 from my AD's safe last night. So now when I recover, I'll be on the prowl for a fat lady 16760.
First impression after wearing the 116710 for a day is Wow! I Love it.

Yeah baby!! What a beauty.

Excellent goal my friend. The 16700 is my goal for 09. That will do it for me on the GMTs----There,....I lied again.

Nice pickup on the GMT. Everyone here is such a bad influence on me.

I love it!

Nice goal! The 6542 would be nice, but I can't justify the $$$. I will also be looking for the 16700, Mike if you find two, let me know and we can strongarm the seller....of course I would get the one in the best shape!

It has become an addiction. Stop showing off your watches people! You are going to detour my plan of getting a GV this year. BTW, you have a very nice watch.
