2nd Rolex / Unboxing!

After my first Rolex (Date Just II, 116334), my wife has surprised me with my second Rolex for our anniversary; my first GMT. Thought I'd share the unboxing pics with everyone. (Pics make the forums better!)

2018 GMT Master II
116710LN


























I'm going to keep the bracelet on for a while, but I did get the RubberB band with the green stripe to go with the watch. Got it last year, as this watch has been on my list for a while.









I've still got several watches on my list to get including a UN, AP, PP, FPJ, amongst others. But still have another few Rolex to pick up.
SD43, Panda Daytona (new one and an older reference), and BLNR on Jubilee.
I'm 9 watches in. No looking back now.

Here are a few of my favs.






(This is probably the most comfortable watch I own on the Nylon strap)




Thanks for going on the journey with me!

Great choice by your wife! That GMT is all you ever need in terms of a great Rolex sports watch.

That's a great GMT, and not always easy to find. It's my daily work watch- under the radar, looks like a Sub, and a useful complication. Very elegant, congratulations!
