Incoming - Filling out the Hangar (winder)
Hello Chaps,
with the great assistance of TempoKing, I finally pulled the trigger on a GMT Master II that I have been chewing on for a year or so since I sold the Explorer II that I Bought from Gagan (another S&G). Great transactions with both and thrilled to have a Rolex back on my wrist. TempoKing even put in my green date wheel gratis. What a guy!!! The build quality of fit and finish of Rolex just puts a smile on my face. I work in aviation and what we can do with metal is just incredible and probably slants my view of manufacturing and metal finishes. I didn't think the Explorer really suited me. But I am loving the GMT and the PSLs. I have many pilot friends with various GMTs and coveted them. No longer! This watch is from the same year as my newborn son and I plan to give it to him when he is older. My grandfather wore a Rolex for many years back in the day and it was one of the "you wind" versions. My father wore it for a few years but the taking it off to wash your hands thing made it impractical. I have really enjoyed this forum during the past few months and have learned a vast amount from your all. This is a great rescource with some really great folk. All the best and of course some pics. Swashplate (James) |

Congrats! My wife think my black GMT-c is the most beautiful watch in my small collection, because of it I never had an urge for the Sub-c
