Finally - my first Rolex!

[bardm]

Hi all!

As I have stated elsewhere I was going to buy my first Rolex as soon as the vacation money got in. It had to be either the YM ss/plat or the SS GMT IIc. Having seen lots of pictures here, and seen both watches at my AD earlier, I was almost set on the YM. However I would like to take another look at the GMT just to be sure, and the AD had sold the last one so I had to wait a feew weeks.

Last monday the AD called and told me they had received a big package from Rolex, among them the GMT.

I rushed in to the AD with my two daughters to take a quick look at the GMT and confirm the YM buy. However something strange happened! The YM suddenly looked dull. Nice but a bit dull. The GMT on the other hand looked smashing. My daughter that had worked hard to push me towards the YM said she thougt the GMT looked a lot better on me than the YM. Even the AD admitted that although she usually didn't favour the GMT it lokked grait on me.

So what can a man do? I just looked in the mirror and had to agree: The GMT looked stunning!

I have to say I have not regrett the decision a second! The black dial and the polished center links makes an ideal combination of a mans watch with a touch of bling.

First day it lost 5 seconds. After that it has lost 1.5 seconds a day! Right out of the box I can't begin to describe how happy I am with this choice

Becaurse the AD just had got a lot of new watches I was able to try on a lot of wathces, among them the SS blue sub, SS black sub, TT GMT IIc and TT YM. However none of them "sang" to me like the SS GMT IIc
