Incoming GMT! Double blue weekend for me!

When it rains, it pours!

After finally pulling the trigger on the new X7 M60i in the best shade of blue I’ve personally ever seen, I got the call the very next morning from my AD that the blue GMT that I’ve wanted for almost a decade was finally here. I officially spent only about 3 months on the waitlist after first purchasing a gold Santos.

The GMT is incredible, and while substantial, feels so much lighter than my TT SeaDweller. Actually wore that one to go pick up the X7.

Glad to finally get this on the wrist, and it has been a very blue weekend for me!

That's the Tartufo Full Merino interior. The full part also adds leather to the bottom dash and doorcards, along with leather stitching on the seatbacks for a really nice touch IMO

You can tell your wife the appreciation on the Rolex will cover the depreciation on the bmw so you really had no choice but to get both

The look on my wife's face upon telling her the morning after I bought that car that I'm also about to buy a Rolex was just priceless! Had to explain to her how the GMT is actually increasing my balance sheet
