Rootbeer
I've been reluctant to post pics of my new GMT, due to what transpired with the seller after I purchased it on what should have been a most joyful occasion to finally acquire my grail. I hope I can get the bitter taste out of my mouth so I can start to enjoy this watch.
Anyway, here she is: IMAG0399.jpg IMAG0400.jpg |

Mark, it's still a great piece despite the seller misleading you by shorting you on the two links, however, don't fret just enjoy it! Looks good Doc!

Looks a little tight on you Mark.
I'd do something about that if I were you.

I actually laughed out loud. Mark, the watch is beautiful. Enjoy it. If you feel that the situation is not something you can get over, I'll gladly send you the missing links in exchange for the wretched watch that reminds you of an unpleasant memory!  Seriously, enjoy it and don't look back.

Just thought I'd break the tension and get it out of the way.

 I agree with your idea to move forward and find a source for links (frankly never look back). It is a beauty and I believe you'll enjoy it for many years. Maybe post in the WTB here to see who might have a couple of more links? IMHO, no need to wait - get the full complement of links so you have them in case you ever sell or trade it.

Mark,
Looks great, enjoy your new watch. I know it was a bit frustrating for a while, but let it go. If it turns out you need a link down the road I'm sure someone here on TRF can help you out !! Cheers, Scott B.
