New and proud member of the 4 hand club
Hi guys,
It's been a long time since I wanted a Rolex. This forum helped me learning more about Rolex and the different models available. It has been a pleasure to read your posts since some of you are very knowledgeable and/or very comic. I decided that the GMT Master IIc Stainless Steel was the one for me and after finding it at an AD last week-end, I decided to buy it yesterday. It hasn't stop smiling to me since then. I was hesitating because I thought it might be a bit big to me and too blingy but now I know I made the right move, it is the perfect size and look. I love the ceramic and the overall quality of the watch. Since I know that you will ask for pictures, here are a couple of them. They are not perfect since it is the first time for me but I will try to do better in the future (I know they don't compare to JJ's or others here).         And the wrist shot : (I know the light wasn't really good)

You are off to a great start. All but one of your pictures are in focus which is well above the norm on this forum.
Most people never learn to focus.  Sorry, pet peeve.  Honestly, your photos are much better than most.

You made a great choice!
I bought my GMT IIc a couple of months ago from a private party without even having seen one in person. I was a bit nervous about that, but as soon as I saw it, I knew I had done right.
