And the guys are right. You now own my favorite watch of all time. It is absolutely the best. You can be my friend for life (or at least as long as you don't part with the GMT ).

But I won't adopt you. Daren, Paul, and probably a few others are in line ahead of you. But don't worry. They stand as much chance of being adopted as anyone else here.

Oh, BTW, welcome to TRF, Rolexpower. Glad you found us and joined in the fun at this great little madhouse we have here.

"what do u think?"

I think you need a macro lens for your camera! Why not start another expensive hobby so you can photographically document your watch collecting hobby?

Rolexpower,

I hope that I'm wrong about this, but that GMT does not look right. The dial, hands, bezel and SEL don't look correct at all.

Did you buy it new and from an AD? Do you have any additional information about it?

Seems fine to me, Clifton. The first picture is very blurry, but the second and third look okay. But let's see what RP has to say about this.

Understand, but it is all in the details JJ. I see 8 issues with the watch that I can support. I'd be happy to be proven wrong as we are all just students.

I'd just like to hear from RP first.

now before u start blastingme, i did not post it here to start a cockfight, i just wanted to see your opinions abt it. all my other watches are gens. i have great respect for genuine watches, and some of u guys have th e most amazing collections, i wish one day i could attain such pieces. As for now, i have discovered the replica world, and im prob gonna buy a bunch more, esp the panerai ones,
