My first Rolex!!

GMT Master II 116710LN 2018. Was looking for this bad guy for almost 10 mnth! LNIB, unworn (even looked in between bracelet links, no scratches at all) All papers, warranty cards, manuals, seal tags, boxes and all other bells and whistles are lined up, even bezel protector. Took it to Austin RSC, got letter of authenticity... phewww!! As happy as it gets!! My new and favorite toy!!

And constantly looking down on my wrist :))))

Very nice indeed! First one is always exciting. That was my exact first Rolex purchase in 2008, still have it. For some reason these never got a nickname like the other GMTs, but I call it the Green Arrow. Wear it in good health. You'll want more eventually. Cheers!

Superior reference!

Always baited breath while waiting for caseback to be opened and breath a sigh of relief.
