I bought this watch back in 2007 (Z series 831XXX), new from the local AD, to celebrate a promotion at work. I wear it every day for almost every ocassion.....

Best,

kcmo · 21 May 2009, 12:38 PM

Looks great.....I'm sure you've created some wonderful memories while wearing it!

2th Dr · 21 May 2009, 12:39 PM

Nice Carlos!
I know what you mean, ever since I got mine, I can't seem to give my other watches any wrist time! Continue to enjoy that bad boy!

aproy · 21 May 2009, 01:04 PM

i can never seem to take mine off either. i was chasing after a marathon for months now. i finally got it on monday, wore it tuesday, now its back in the drawer... i just cant keep my hands off my gmtiic...

good for us :)

GMTIIC is the best Rolex ever made!

StarSovereign · 21 May 2009, 01:41 PM

I see you have your fourth hand set to 24 hour time instead of GMT so you can use the bezel to track different time zones without resetting the standard hour and minute hands every time. I think that the OVERWHELMING majority of GMT-Master II owners use the fourth hand for this function, unless owners are frequent travelers or pilots.

Any thoughts on this guys...

While I obviously can't speak for others, I keep my fourth hand set to GMT and the bezel set for Tokyo. As a Commodity Trading Advisor, I appreciate the ability to quickly read the time during each of the three major "trading days", Europe, Asia, and the US. It also makes for a great conversation piece when meeting with clients, who are often WIS themselves. Combine this functionality with the style+versatility+presence that is unique to Rolex and the GMT IIc really is the perfect watch for my needs.

Nice pics! I have to take a few shots and post some of my own.

Love the green!

Thank you. I use the Cape Cod for the PCLs every 3 months.

I wash it with warm soapy water every week.

I clean it with a soft cloth every day.

Thank you all for your kind words

Best,

The accruacy is unbelievable.

I totally agree. Mine has gained 5 seconds since May 1st when I set it using time.gov. It's 0.23 seconds fast/day.

Best,

Great looking watch! Thanks for sharing! The GMT II C is on my "need to get next" list.

thecoinopcollector · 21 May 2009, 10:53 PM

Same here. Got my Z IIC in July of 07, SN 830XXX and wear it daily (except weekends when I wear my Milgauss GV). I still love it and look at it daily and say to myself "damn I'm lucky to own this watch, its really nice".

Atomant · 22 May 2009, 01:12 AM

Never feels better wearing a watch knowing you fully deserve it. Good choice!

Colnago · 21 May 2009, 08:05 PM

Cannot get it off my wrist....I know exactly how you feel.......there is just so very little negative feedback on this model you just know they got it right with this one...it will go down as an all time classic....be sure of it....

Imtiaz · 21 May 2009, 11:32 PM
