Hey

So, a complete n00b to the forum, and to high-end watches.

Perfectly happy with the Sewills Chronometer that I inherited in 2004 from my late father. Then did $1M in sales for one of my business partners last year. Result was a nice bonus, and a Rolex of my choosing to the value of $10k.

The good people in the, "Got a cool watch? Let's see it" thread at ADVRider helped my decide and there's likely a GMT-Master II in my future.

Happy to be here, and to have a new interest. When not at work, or cruising this site, motorcycles and rugby keep my occupied.

Thanks fellas. Looking like my quest for a GMT-Master II is going to be a little more challenging than I thought.

Thanks all.

GMT-Master impossible to source, so gone for a "Polar" Explorer II.
