Wifey wants to wear the Brand New GMT II with Ceramic Bezel

Err buddies...after gotten back home with the Brand New GMT II watch...Orchi showed it to Wifey.




The minute she saw the watch...she insisted that she likes it n wants to wear it...

But when Orchi tried to tell her that the watch could be too big n heavy for her to wear...she uttered...

"Well Orchi...why don't you get me the similar lady's version..."

Hey Kawan...thanks...glad to see another fellow Malaysian in the forum...apa khabar?

About the retail price...Orchi has always been fortunate enough to get good n genuine supply at reasonable prices on either pre-owned or New Rolex watches...from a trustworthy dealer cum watchsmith who has over the years been a great buddy to Orchi as well.

The New GMT II costs RM22,500...which is equivalent to about S$10,000 or USD6,950 or so...

Err thanks buddy Nottinghill...come to think of it...although Malaysia has tropical climates...

Heavy rainy nights can really be soaking wet n chilling to sleep out in the car porch...

Hmmm...where can Orchi find a "lady's version" of the Rolex GMT Master II...?

Guess Orchi might have to give in to her demands again...this time.

If you let her wear this one, then maybe she'll help fund the next purchase.

Err buddies...to JJ n everyone here...many thanks...although Orchi appreciates the kind words of "encouragement"...n still hesitant about letting Wifey wears the New GMT II which Orchi hasn't even put it on own wrist yet for the 1st time...Orchi is not about to take the risk of losing much needed affection n precious sleep snugging tightly close to Wifey...

Oh well...guess Orchi would have to work the fields much harder from now in order to save enough to perhaps get another New GMT II...or the New 116400 Anniversary with Green Crystal.
