1st time owner, GMT 2

Good morning to all, I'm a first time poster.

After reading the forums for literally months, I now have decided to post, I can now say I am a Rolex owner, after finally getting a GMT 2 ceramic!

Honestly I've never been happier with a watch!
It was between the GMT and Sub date, being a Royal Marine I was looking at the Sub but I'd use the GMT function more than the dive function, and with the GMT also being waterproof to 100m and also being black with a ceramic bezel it got the final nod!

Just had to share this with the world!

Great choice. The GMT looks best with the ceramic bezel.

The GMT IIc and Sub C are 2 great watches to decide between!

Congratulations on your purchase.
