Joined the Forum Yesterday and bought first Rolex today!
Hello everybody this is my first Post since I joined this great Forum just yesterday!
I felt in love with the GMT-Master II the first time I saw the watch ( at that time the one with the Pepsi bezel around 2004) but never bought one until today! After joining the Forum yesterday and I like it alot, I did read for hours about the GMT-Master II SS Style 116710 and went to the Local AD today to get my first Rolex and Dream Watch. I looked at the Watch last week and just couldn't wait any longer especially spending all that time reading about it yesterday! I own a couple Breitlings but this one is just breath taking and I'm so proud that I thought it would be nice to share with the Forum. Sorry for my english, put it's not my first language! |

Welcome Frankie. I joined this year and was looking at the GMT II models at first. Still like the look but thinking of a sub now. Of course the more I look at the FS listings the more I want more... LOL. May pop in a AD site in the near future just to look at them. Probably buy from here though. Wear it well.
