First time wearing my new GMT Master IIc

Just bought a GMT Master IIc and wore it for the first time in public today. I probably don't look like a Rolex owner, with my t-shirt and jeans, and got a few strange looks. However I love it and have no regrets. You guys are a good bunch, I'm proud to be a member.

Welcome to TRF, buddy.

The GMT-IIC is an excellent choice and by far the BEST Rolex to have come out from Geneva in recent years.

Some pics would be welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay on this wonderful forum of ours.

Cheers - JJ

Welcome to TRF!

You're lucky you even got stares. I've been wearing mine a lot, and not a single glance!

Congrads and welcome. I wear mine in jeans, t shirts, shorts, whatever I feel like. Same with the daytona. They dress down much better than you'd think

From Tuxedo to Nude, a Rolex looks fine no matter what you wear!
