Boyet your GMTs are in immaculate condition. You might want to add the GMT Ceramic model to complete your GMT line-up. Tried it a couple of days ago in Lucerne and it is a beauty!

By the way nice pictures from the Sinulog Festival! Hoping to visit there sometime to get images from the festivities.

Another one from my collection of tool watches...

Nice shot Anthony, nice composition. Btw I have a very strong feeling you're into photography, are you not?
GMT Master IIc is quite nice I agree[he he he I got mine In HK last October, was looking for(all the way from Tsim Sha Tsui to mongkok ADs) a 16710 M serial and ended a ceramic, never did I regret]

Kabayang Oscar,
Sa tunog mo parang malaki ata prob mo, ano ba visa mo ngayon? Kase yung isang kabayan just said "dinamita"(highly explosive),bro I'm a bit curious

Thanks Boyet! Yes I'm also into photography and I believe so are you.

Ah so you've rounded up your GMT roster already. The GMT IIc is a really nice addition, something about the ceramic that makes it tick. You can dress it up or dress it down and it wouldn't skip a bit.

That's it! I'm talking to my AD tomorrow about the IIc!

hahaha yeah, I get it from the family occasionally, to go back to the homeland, I was suppose to go for a wedding, but no one else was gonna go on the US side of the family. So I was pretty disappointed.

PS - Oscar your Arizona pics look great! I'm assuming no San Migs though?

I may be going "back home" in January (odd for me to say that since I was raised in the US). But does anyone know whether the exchange rate makes it more favorable to buy a Rolex in the Philippines than in the US??

Philippines is just plain gorgeous. too bad it's so far away from north america. i heard people from europe enjoy our country very much! and some Canadians i know never came back to the great white north and stayed in the Pearl of the Orient seas for good (lucky buggers!) i've never been to Cebu (i love dried mangoes). I might go home on May or June next year and might go to Boracay then stop by Cebu. Damn! so many places so little time!

[bodybump]

hahaha boracay is on my list when i get home!!!

There is a good deal now on a GMT Master II at Alabang Town Center... Php310,000 that is right now a little over US$6K... but that is because he bought it when the US$1:Php42... now its back to US$1:Php50... so when he gets new stocks it will cost more. Grey dealer... payment at Rolex Center for authentication.

Looking for a black faced milgauss myself... non GV is fine.
