Icon7 I'm in the family....thanks to.....

I sold my GMT II Pepsi in 2007 and went without a proper timepiece until this year. I finally made the decision to re-enter the family after learning of all the price increases and improvements; figured it was now or never. I had the hardest time deciding between a Sub C and GMT II. I decided on the GMT II, there's something about the little splash of green that just grabbed me. The PSL was an issue but as you can see......it's not an issue anymore.

I want to thank a couple of people:
JustRolexes -- Great communication, great timepiece. Would reccomend him to anyone.
StrapEvolution.com (David) -- great communication and was more than happy to work with my requirements. The strap is a Swiss Ammo, distressed, black stitching and vintage (looking) buckle. It was cut slightly larger than 20mm which was the way I wanted it.

Thanks All !!!
