Hello from Ohio

I am so glad I found this forum, I have been lurking for about 6 months and registered recently. I will be going on vacation at the end of the month and when I come back two weeks exactly I will be the proud new owner of a GMTIIc and can't wait. I wasn't able to get much off the watch but was able to re-do my wife's rings in Platinum for 1/5 of what they wanted before they knew I wanted a Rolex. I will post pics of my watch and her rings (for the Ladies) when it all comes together.

I thank all of you for all the knowledge and hope to one day be one of the cool guys........ Thanks Neil

Hey Neil, welcome!! Great to have another Buckeye.

I'm not far from Columbus, maybe we can hook up.

The IIc is a fantastic watch. I'm in Honolulu right now with one on my wrist.

I just got back from half way around the world (Africa) and the GMTIIC came along for the ride. It never missed a beat

So congrats on your pending GMT and welcome

Thanks for the responses, I am still trying to figure out the pics, I took some with my nikon d60 but must have been to big so I took a couple with my dare and they look okay.

I was able to pull it off and snag my grail a month early and can't stop looking at it. I have worn it to make hamburg patties and wash the dog. I have a couple of scratches on the bracelett and think that it adds character. I have wanted this for as long as I can remember and am going to wear it. Except to work.

I never thought five years ago that things would come together for me to be able to get something I thougt that I would never really attain, but hey a squirel finds a nut sometimes.

I am leaving for Hawaii on the 25 and will be on three islands for two weeks. My wife and I have been looking forward for this for several years and hope to have a great time. I am also from Canton, Ohio but my wife is from C-bus, Upper Arlington.

Have a good trip and hope you have a great time as I expect to.... Neil

Welcome to TRF, Neil.

Beautiful timepiece. Mine is a daily wearer and I still find myself staring at it occasionally.
