The Day Has Arrived ! ! ! ! !

Hi everyone,

After a painless trek to NYC today to visit my corp. office I picked up a very nice box that has something in if for me. Drove the 100 miles home with box at my side wondering what was in store for me. Wife came home at 5 PM and we opened and saw a beautiful GMT II C !!!! So many of them dam little plastic coverings but in a few, had in on and wow, it was worth every penny. I don't think there is a covering over the face and bezel but none the less here are a few pics with my less then professional camera.....

Thanks everyone here for your support and I am not happy to be an official member of the Rolex owners club!

Damn. The numbers on the bezel are big. I hadn't realized that on other pictures. Still, a nice looking watch.
