PrestO, changeO

Time for a semi annual makeover. My watchmaker was kind enough to completely change to look of my GMT from red/blue, oyster to all black/ jubilee.
Gonna have to find a 16710 [head only] so I can enjoy the different options on shorter notice.

You are right on the mark. That's why I'm really thinking I need two. One's on the sporty side, the other decidedly dressier. I could see occasions to wearing both the same day.

Those shots are excellent, as are the results. Where did you get the Jubilee bracelet if I may ask?

Nothing more beautiful than the all black GMT-II, Dan. I don't care which bracelet you've got it on, although I do prefer the Oyster, but that's just a personal preference.

Solar,
Happen to find one in like new condition for sale on Timezone.com. I was able to verify authenticity and feel real lucky because they don't come up too often.

Ed,
I knew you'd like the all black insert. It's a classic Rolex look that matches any occasion and the jubilee sets it apart as a GMT.

I feel honored. I have finally been called a tosser by JJ. Indirectly, but I'm sure he meant it just the same. And a king-sized one at that. I guess it is only a matter time for everyone but I thought this day might never come. I feel like a full fledged TRF member now. I'm so happy I could
