12 long years...

Haven't had a Rolex in 12 long years...
Hi guys,
Been around lurking a long time, always in the background enjoying all your beautiful Rolex watches.
12 years since I owned my last Rolex, a Black TT sub. Which was my favorite all time watch. Before that I owned an Explorer II, an R Series sub, and an older Datejust.
Lately been wearing Breitling & Pams.
Spent some year end bonus on this and love it. I know TT is not everyone's cup of tea, but I find this one very versatile.
.
Big thank you to DavidSW... I see why he is a favorite of this forum.
Happy New Year to you all.

Looks fantastic! The GMT is one of the few watched I think that works really well with two tone.

I have always loved that model. The abundant yellow gold numbering against the black ceramic bezel combined with the green 24 hour hand and dial printing is such a sweet combination.

Two-tone is cool, and personally I think the GMT IIC is the best looking of the ceramic models. Congrats on overdue acquisition.
