I wish I did get a discount! My understanding is that these won’t be readily available and therefore ADs won’t offer a discount.

Think ADs are getting wise with what they’re fetching at Greys and therefore are a hell of a lot more firmer today politely refuse any discounts.

Anyway...I was more than happy to just get it on my wrist and knew that it wasn’t I could try and play ADs off to reduce the price as they simply don’t really exist enough to do so.

I like your style. If I were to collect only one model, it would be the GMT for me, too.

Congrats!

I never saw myself as being drawn to gem set watches but they’ve been growing on me recently. And when I heard about this during this year’s Basel, I knew I had to see it...so when I did I was hooked!

Always been a fan of the GMT line so I’m happy to add this to my other ones.

You have been blessed with one AMAZING AD for them to pull that out of the bag for you.

Huge congrats and live the GMT collection you currently have

FWIW you can pick up the YG green dial GMT for under list pre-owned (in the 29-32 range).

Cheers buddy.

Yep, been keeping an eye and they do vary in price range...just trying to find the right example as my last pre-owned purchase didn’t turn out so well and only discovered the flaw after it went to RSC

In one word, this is UNIQUE.
Love this GMT only collection. Wow.
Where's the white gold GMT with blue dial, that's one of my favorites GMTs but the price is not for me...yet.

That's awesome. Congratulations on a fantastic GMT collection.

Which do you wear the most? Judging by the picture I would guess yellow gold two tone.

Funnily enough, I’m wearing a Rootbeer I recently picked up as I wanted something as a birth year watch and wanted a nipple dial also


I’ve started to turn my attention to older watches recently and picked up a few over the weekend.



And my Kermit Flat Four is one that I’m fond of but haven’t wore it yet admittedly
