"mission accomplished ghost rider".....tower out..

all of you are responsible for this... luckily this addiction started in my 40's and not earlier..I love love love love it - I know you're all torn..but I went for the BLUESY!!
so - was straight down the pub for lunch... asked friends to take shots with my iphone...tragic: who cares!!!! they tried...not my cigarettes but the warning should apply to me and Rolex's

wanted to share these with all of you....thanks for all your threads and comments on this watch.

Enjoy

I know Karis - so did I...but going in with the GMT2c on I realized I wanted to stretch to something different - the black is a stunning watch but this grabbed my heart -

Wonderful pictures. Congradulations on the new sub. You are so right that the watch in the sun light looks so much more impressive. I went to my AD with all intentions of buying this watch as soon as it showed up but it didn't look right in the store so I ended up with a DJII. Your pictures of it in the sunlight has renewed my interest in obtaining one. It looks absolutely fantastic.

I will try to take some shots with the sun and ocean here over the coming week as we head into summer ... we have such big blue skies and expanse of Indian ocean even I should be able to catch some good ones

It just got bumped up my Lust List!

IMO the blue looks better than the black.

if you were to RTFT you may have noted the "not my cigarettes" section of the original post.
