Just recently picked up this bad boy!

Received this last week from Jizeal. Traded it in for my WG Daytona and some cash. I haven't looked back. If you're on the fence about this piece, just do it...you won't regret it. She's a keeper.

Check out the Rolex site -- there's some interesting info about how that specific bezel is made. It's unlike any other! What a sweeeeeet piece.

If you're not entirely in love with the Daytona, this was certainly the right move. I just picked up the BLNR a few weeks back and couldn't be happier. The GMT Master is, in my opinion, the best all round sports watch that Rolex makes. It is also more practical than a dive watch or chronograph for most people. In white gold with the classic Pepsi bezel, it's even nicer. Well done.
