Over the last few years I've let myself go and gained a bunch of weight. With working out and a change in diet over the last 7 months I've lost 45 pounds and a little over ten inches off my waist.
So my lovely wife agreed that if I can get to a 32 or lower waist size by Christmas or New Years I can buy the watch that I want as a reward to myself. I feel confident that I can do it, but I'll have to work hard at it.
I really like the New Explorer II, but I'd have to see it on my wrist. I like the size (I think) so that I can read the watch more easily: my close-up vision isn't what it used to be. I like its subdued looks, etc. But again I would have to see it on my wrist.
But despite my preference of subdued looks I LOVE the look of the two-tone GMT!
What to do?!
Oh, I know what to do. "Thank you wife!"

Keep up the good work!

siewmaiwatch · 10 October 2011, 02:18 AM

all the best in health and your quest for a fantastic reward!!!

chiko323 · 10 October 2011, 02:27 AM

The 2-tone gmt is an amazing watch, you will have trouble picking something else if you try that one on.

Time2time · 10 October 2011, 02:29 AM

Congrats so far and hope you make your target!

Of the two watches it has to the TT GMT.

dddrees · 10 October 2011, 02:37 AM

Keep up the good work, and get to an AD near you take a look for that little extra inspiration.

Either one will make a great choice.

MonBK · 10 October 2011, 02:39 AM

What a nice wife.

Actsulb · 10 October 2011, 02:39 AM

Congrats on all your progress and what a terrific reward for reaching your goal. The TT GMT is great and a timepiece you will enjoy for years and years.

DiamondJack · 10 October 2011, 02:47 AM

Nothing quite like the prospect of a new Rolex to keep you focussed on the challenge ahead

Best of luck

I say the heck with the diet. Go buy the watch right now before the next price increase so you save some cash. Then go out and celebrate your new watch with a huge steak and lobster with a huge slice of cheesecake for desert. Perfect night.

brkanand · 10 October 2011, 03:15 AM

You deserve a Rolex for your will power and for having such a nice and understanding wife!

JakaB · 10 October 2011, 03:24 AM

Buy a DSSD, it will make you look even thinner.

Wehtiko · 10 October 2011, 04:18 AM

Ha ha. Thanks guys!

GradyPhilpott · 10 October 2011, 04:22 AM

Buy the Expy II now and the GMT when you hit the 32" mark.

Tell your wife in advance what your plans are.

Duck.

George Ab · 10 October 2011, 04:25 AM

Life and a qualify life is far more important then a watch. Watches are some of the sweet icing, but if you don't have your health, then there is no cake. Probably shouldn't use a food analogy, eh?

Congratulations on your moving in the right direction.

The two tone GMT is subdued with a touch of color. It pulls off a nice balancing act. I can't speak to the new Exp II as I have yet to see one up close and personal.

RRGHOST1 · 10 October 2011, 04:45 AM

Great stuff,keep up the good work and enjoy your watch.

L00ker · 10 October 2011, 04:52 AM

travisb · 10 October 2011, 04:55 AM

Keep it up and visit your local ADs regularly to keep you motivated.

Oh yeah...and thank your wife!

Speed · 10 October 2011, 04:55 AM

Great work!!!

I agree. If you are going to buy new at an AD, get the watch now.

Ten inches off the waist? THAT deserves a watch I say!

Puffy · 10 October 2011, 05:35 AM

that's a good wife mate!

The Joker · 10 October 2011, 06:12 AM

Suck it in and get it now.

z32turbo · 10 October 2011, 06:22 AM

Keep it up. Should be a great Christmas!!!!

It takes serious dedication to lose waist inches.
Running 2-3 miles a day 3 times a week might do it.
Good luck with your new watch.

You can do it.

MortgageGuy · 10 October 2011, 08:44 AM

WOW, congrats on the accomplishment and good luck too... quite some good motivation you have now to top it off

wluk · 10 October 2011, 10:11 AM

TT GMT looks awesome

Wehtiko · 10 October 2011, 11:53 PM

Thanks all!!

apeogre · 11 October 2011, 12:04 AM

Awesome! How did you lose the weight? Watching your diet and regular exercise? Or some awesome cabbage only diet? As a former fat guy, I know how hard it can be. Keep it up.

rogerrabbit168 · 11 October 2011, 12:07 AM

keep up the good work, and that rolex will be on your wrist very soon
