Found a beer for my upcoming Friday purchase!
So I have been saving for a while, and am finally at the point where I can buy a nice Rolex for myself! Seems like it took a very long time and thanks to the god damn price increase I had to wait an additional month.
Anyway Im excited and all I have to do now is decide which to take home. GMT iic or the Explorer 2 (black face) Luckily the AD near me has both in stock and ready to go. I thought I would celebrate with a few drinks that night and found a bottle thats apropos. I may need to use the empty bottle to defend myself from my girl who is going to want to murder me but its always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. (ps. I eventually WILL own both.  )

Good luck.
That's a tough choice. I think I'd go with the GMT...but I would brush the bracelet. Both are great...and you can't go wrong! P.S. How was the beer?

Go for the GMT and leave those polished links alone. They look amazing IMO.

Subliminal Message!
You have wanted the black dial 216570 for the longest so don't waver and get it! Though you can't go wrong with either, here is an early Congrats to you! Can't wait to see which one you acquire first!
