case looks great.

I would email for a bracelet stretch shot, but otherwise looks good, and good price too!

That's your watch, screw the one you saw in NY City, plus you get two bezel inserts to chnage it up and you can always source a jubilee bracelet and its like owning two watches

Nice one. Although I am partial to the classic 'holes' lugs case and pepsi bezel (because that is what I have).

But it is a beauty. I would pick up a Pepsi bezel just to fill out the set.

Do you mean that you bought it? Or do you mean that when you called to inquire, it had already been sold to another person?

You bought yourself a great Rolex watch and an extra bezel insert to boot. You can always pick up a Pepsi bezel insert if you want and you can also buy a Jubilee bracelet as well. Just ask Dan P. to show you some pictures of the different looks.....enjoy your watch when it arrives!!!

Congratulations! Theken is a very reputable seller. I know one of the TRF members here in Dallas bought a GMT from him a while back and the transaction went very well! Glad to see you found your watch!
