Rolex GMT-Master II 116710

Just received my almost new Rolex GMT. Absolutely loving it, Wimbledon didn't get any wrist time and back in the box. GMT is now the everyday use watch. I used to have "F" series with Pepsi dial that I regret selling but this new one has its own look and feel.

I sure miss that watch :(. To make a long story short, I sold it in 2014 and I stop caring about watches until recently. I came back to a really harsh reality on how hard SS Rolex to get now.

EDIT: Lol wow, my last post was in 2014 too. Well guess who's back ha.

thanks everyone.
@warren g. I made the same mistake, letting go of my two most favorite Rolex (GMT and Sub) in 2014. After a long break, realized that it was a big mistake :-) and now paid more than double to get back new GMT.

That’s the thing with the new super cases, the watch feels so robust and you don’t mind wearing it everyday and get it banged up a little. Congrats on the pickup!

In my humble opinion the hottest Ceramic Rolex there is.

I bought one when they first came out. An M serial number. The second one my old AD got back in the day when discounts were available. I paid I think $ 5,300 with some in store credit and 10 % off. Can you imagine!?

Ultimately the polished center links and scratches did me in. Sold it.

Congratulations!

I've seen only two in the wild. One in my hotel lobby in Bangkok and one at the gym in Japan. The guy had taken it off and placed it on a table near the free weights. Shocking. Only in Japan.
