Just bot a new GMT II C V-serial!

Makes a nice addition to my Cartier Santos 100.

My first Rolex. This is an amazing craftsmanship.

Please forgive the crappy iPhone pic.

Congrats!

Mine is now *officially* beat to hell. I wear it every day, and I'm far from "gentle" on my watch. IMHO, it adds character.

So, wear it with pride -- and most importantly -- JUST WEAR IT!
