GMT Master II

A few pictures my very good imaginative Photographer friend has done. Thanks Jono!

Just bought a Bargain 2nd hand GMTII first sold in 2004 but is a Y serial for £1700, it was a bit grimey but i have cleaned it up, lubricated, polished and buffed and it now looks SPANK! check it out below
