I Got New Gmt Today!!!!!!

Hi everyone!
Finally after long wait I got the watch!!!! This is awesome watch guys!!!! I'm so happy!!! I want to thank one more time a great forum member GG922 (Greg) who let me know that his AD has this watch and I had a chance to call them right away and buy it!!! And here's one of the best parts- I got it for OLD PRICE!!!! Yes that's right!!!!!! OLD PRICE!!!! I couldn't turn down this great deal and thanks everyone who had crossed fingers for me!!! You guys remember my posts about 2 weeks ago that I was looking for GMT and wanted to get it for old price? So a lot of you wished me good luck and fingers were crossed all over the world!!!! So it WORKED!!!!!
I tried to picture every moment of receiving it and opening the box so as you guys were here with me and enjoyed as much as I did and here's the pictures!!!! Best to everybody!!!!!!!!





























AND THE LEGENDARY WRIST SHOT

Fantastic, welcome to the "GMT C" Club.

Best watch in the Rolex lineup IMO.

BTW it takes a couple of weeks to find all the bits of plastic on that watch!!

Thanks for showing those great pictures and many congratulations on your new watch! There's little to compare to the feeling of a new Rolex on the wrist.

I think I may have just decided on my next Rolex....

BTW - what is that black "logo" on the side case at the 9 o'clock position? Protective plastic?

Thanks a lot everybody!!! I'm so glad I'm finally in a four hand club! It's awesome. I'm glad you guys liked the pics but it is much better in real life! And it feels totally different on the wrist comparing to all my others. Makes me look at it every minute without realizing what the actual time is

Yes it is a protective plastic and there is some kind of a bar code on the left side of the case.
