Finally, pics of the new arrival
Here are the pics. Understand, there are none in the box, cause this watch won't be seeing the box for a long time. There are also smudges and fingerprints on the watch as I did not "polish and pose" it. It just took it off, laid it on my desk and took the pictures. While it was off my wrist I did suffer a little angst.

Been in love with the gmt since I saw a guy wearing a pepsi years ago. I asked what kind of watch it was and he said Rolex GMT! I was stunned, because although I had always wanted a Rolex, I thought they only came in gold and TT. The SS GMT was the most awesome thing I had seen.
