I Have Joined the Club

It began years ago with my admiration for Rolex and other fine watches. As time went on the admiration grew and I knew that some day I would own fine watches. This admiration developed into a passion and has finally become a reality. Thanks to Train-Time I purchased a GMTIIC days ago. I'll keep it brief, for now, and just include some photos, but plan on putting up a review soon. To all the TRFers, Thank You for all the help so far and I look forward to doing business and getting to know more members. I'm looking forward to building a fine collection.

BTW, the photos below were taken with my iPhone and didn't turn out that well.

Congrats! Like you, I just joined the forums as well. This is a great community. I am still debating between a Rolex and an Omega as my first high-end watch, but will be joining the club soon!

Welcome to TRF. love the GMTIIC. That wrist shot of your watch doesen't show the crown guard, maybe a bad angle. Makes me nervous.
