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.

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

Silly you, Aaron. Thinking you could be without a Rolex...

Congrats! Great choice on the new one!!!

ian.thomas · 1 November 2006, 10:28 PM

Very nice!

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

marshallr47 · 1 November 2006, 10:43 PM

Great watch. Wear it with pride

wmthedirector · 1 November 2006, 11:56 PM

To "cold turkey" of a Rolex is virtually impossible!

2 November 2006, 01:54 AM

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.

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.
