Received the call but.....

So got the call and I literally have it saved as “THE CALL!!”. I missed the call and my heart started to beat hard thinking my Daytona has finally made it but my AD was nice enough to call when he got a few other pieces I might be interested and one was the Root Beer GMT II 126711CHNR. I went to try it on and had to take it home. Something about this watch. I consider it a graduation present for myself. Even though I really wanted this call to be about the Daytona. I guess I will have to go back in patient mode. Overall I’m very please to get this watch. Here are a few photos of the GMT and a Tag Heuer I tried on. I’d be all over this watch if the case wasn’t so thick.

Congratulations, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; if I could have just one watch, yours new Rolex would probably be the one. It’s sporty, yet elegant and and can be worn with casual jeans or a dressy night out.
