Bad News: Rolex will discontinue the GMT-IIc due to technical ....
Just want to check how fast JJ replies to the thread and freaks out about it...

I have to say I was not a fan of the GMT... I would love to have a classic GMT pepsi or a PanAm edition...first.. but the GMT IIc looks amazing...and I would love to have one too..

Let me check what time is it on my GMTIIc and then confirm with JJ if his is running smoothly or not. It might have gotten unadjusted after putting it so many times on the scale.
