After waiting a year ....

My new Rose gold GMT has finally arrived.
When the Pepsi was released last year my local AD told me that if I ordered the full GMT trilogy I would be top of the list.
Well the Pepsi and the Gold Steel (Rootbeer ) arrived in July along with a Daytona I'd been waiting a year for , Now finally I've completed the new GMT trilogy to go with the rest of my collection .
Next up will be the new Blue Black GMT

To be honest I'd like to add a PP Aquanaut but I can't get one for retail price like I can with the Rolex

I know we shouldn't talk about ££££, but that's a very nice nest egg for when you retire

Yeah the way things are going these days it's a lot better than having money in the bank , plus I get pleasure from wearing them and the thrill of the chase

There's always some room for a couple more , I tend to just stick to the new models though

I got the Pepsi last year in July , I believe another customer received theirs before me in May.
I'd expect the new BLNR to arrive around the same time in the UK this year

Tell me about it! the List at the AD has 2000 names he told me :)

No way I'm getting the BLRO and the CHNR any time soon here.

And it's cheaper to buy in Europe and de-tax anyway.

Edit: I didn't even bother getting on the list for the new BLNR

I picked my Hulk up at Dubai airport but nearly all of the others I own are from the same dealer

Insane collection! I would flip the grey and the TT DJ for a Milgauss and a Explorer 1 or 2 to get more variety... Or maybe some vintage stuff! That RG GMT rocks!

I really enjoy wearing the DJ 41s , I know they aren't some of the hotter watches that most of us on here chase after but when I have one strapped to my wrist I cant stop looking at it
