Hello from Chicago

Hi all,

After waiting many years I finally pulled the trigger two weeks ago on a GMT ii. I have wanted this watch for over 20 years. Since the day I earned my Navy wings of gold I have promised myself one.

Three kids later (and 24 years) I finally did it. I have really enjoyed learning from you all so I thought I should introduce myself. In addition to my 116710 LN, I have an Omega speedmaster X33 that was purchased through a military special and a Breitling aerospace, also a military special addition, neither of which compares to my Rolex!
