Got a GMT II. Finally Decided!

Well, thanks to a forum member, was given the contact info to a AD in CT. Called them up, and actually found a AD that treated me like a client. Veyr polite and knowledgable sales person. Got the GMT II in Red/Black. Brand new Z series. Was able to get a 7.5% discount, which is best I have gotten so far. (so got the watch for around $4700). Will have it overnight expressed, so should have it tommorrow! Great to wear for my travel.

Plan on taking the SUB LV, on the Olive Green Nato strap with me, to wear for sport, swimming, and SCUBA. And the GMT II Red/Black on the SS Oyster Bracelet for everyday travel wear.

Probably will sell the Sub No Date I have. Great watch, but hard to justify owning 3 Rolex watches right now.

Also ordered today another knife (Benchmade 940 Green, partially serrated) and a Cross Pen/Pencil set (Black with 23K gold accents).

Now, about your knife hobby, any idea where I can score a Jimmy Lile Rambo Prototype?

Congrats on the new watch, Chad.

And as far as justifying having multiple Rollies, I just say that I need them for different situations that demand certain capabilities that only those watches can provide. Works for me...

Kind of have same combo you have Flyjet. GMT Red Black and a Sub (compared to your SD). Good Combo I think. Kind of covers all your bases!

Maybe will still get an EXP II or Date Just with Oyster Bracelet

Great Combo....I restled with the decision of Sub or SD. I thought the non-cyclopes look would be different. But you can never go wrong with any Rolex IMO.
