I lasted two days without a Rolex

Hey Guys,

I recently sold the D series Sub and thought I would have a rest from Rolex for a while.

It lasted two days,

T series GMT with black bezel,





Next up will be two bezel inserts.A black/red and a pepsi.A man needs variety.

Aaron

OK so you needed a rest from Rolex for a while, yeah right

Not only did you get another Rolex within a couple of days, but you really got 3 Rolex watches for the price of 1 when you count the bezel combinations, as they really change the appearance of the GMT.

You will love the red(cherry-ripe) & black bezel option.

Cheers & 73

Very nice!

Do you notice a difference in size of the crown or feel of the GMT over the Sub?

Nice Aaron, way to go. But one day you'll see how superfluous that rotating bezel is and get rid of it and replace it with an ExpII.

JJ, the ExpII is IMHO the most versatile Rolex made. No question about that.

I just don't wear mine... and don't want to wear it anymore.

Hey Eric,

That Sub is a hard act to follow.

I actually do feel that the GMT is more comfortable than the Sub.Definitely the crown is a point of contention,but I am sure that the non SEL bracelet is more comfortable.
