I just join the club of SS GMT2C because of Father's day

No im not a father, im still young, I purchased a GMT2C from kayaker21 here on the forums for my father as a Father's Day gift.

then i called my mom to see if she thinks he will like it (they live in Hong Kong), she then told me father's laptop has died last week, he doesnt need a rolex now (he has some watches including a datejust), mom asked me to buy a laptop for him instead. So I bought him a dell laptop while keeping the GMT2C for myself.

i guess another reason my mom told me that was mom wants to keep dad to wear his datejust since mom had an exact same one in lady size, she doesnt want him to betray her somehow lol.

So here are the pics I just took:

Its a great watch and very comfortable when you get the bracelet adjusted properly (took me 2 years to realise that ).

Real nice, you wont be disappointed, and it is incredibly reliable and accurate.

Hmmmmmm . . .


Sounds fishy to me.


You buy best Rolex made. Plan to give to Dad. Dad's laptop mysteriously dies. So Dad now gets new laptop while you keep Rolex that is four times more valuable and forty times cooler.


I'm suspicious!





Just kidding. Congrats on a super watch.

What was the sizing difficulty? How did you ultimately improve the fit?
