TRF is a bad influence!

If it wasn't for this forum, I probably wouldn't have puchased a second Rolex! (Heck, I never really imagined one Rolex a year ago!)

Here is a photograph of my new GMT Master II:



Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for being such a bad influence!

Congrats Russel, that's a superb looking watch. Ed (Rockrolex) might decide to adopt you too. That's his favourite watch.

Wear it in good health!!

Nice photos and watch! I hope you get great enjoyment from it. Increasingly the world seems to be getting smaller and the GMT function more important.

After seeing all these nice photo's, I think TRF will cause me to go out and buy the new GMT II.

Let me go take my shot now before it is too late!!!!
