That's why I gave mine to my spouse. I need a date function, and I'm looking at a Tudor chronograph to replace it, as it has a date function.

GMT II coke bezel

I am 29 and do supply chain and manufacturing management for an oilfield company. I also invest in equities, options, and soon real estate. As a new Rolex enthusiast, my first is a GMT II coke bezel recently purchased on this forum. Considering a tt datejust as next acquisition depending how Mr. Market behaves.

Those of us who wear reading glasses in our old age have a tough time with chronos. Enjoy them while you are young.

That's awesome, I would have loved to owned a Rolex at 21. Although, I was still a poor college student at the time. I didn't want to go through my 30's without one though.

Hello everybody. This is my first post after having been following this great forum for some time. I am a project manager in a petrochemical corporation, 52, and after using several Omega watches (my first at 17) I got my first Rolex, a SS DJ, when I turned 50.

Due to frequent travels, I recently decided to replace the DJ by a SS GMT IIc, and I am quite happy with my new watch.

42. Own several Funeral Homes/licensed Funeral Director.

Owned 7 (mainly Sub's--stainless to solid 18K) in my life. My new Daytona SS white dial 'V' comes in tomorrow Sat delivery--can't wait. Traded in my GMT2C (which was great--but a stainless Daytona stands out in the crowd!).
