Silly I know - but sitting here in Melbourne International Airport and staring at my new SS Rolex GMT II - I sold Explorer II White Face to part fund!!
I love it - would be really cool to hear from other owners with stories views on this beautiful creation!!

BIG congrats Colin, great watch (ask me how I know, he he)

BTW, why do you call it a 2009? ARed you referring to Serial number or year???
If it was made recently (ie. now), then by definition it must be a 2008 year model???

Hi Colin, welcome pity I missed you in Melbourne, I would have loved to have seen your GMT over a beer

Anyway, welcome to the forum, it is more fun to participate.

I got my GMTIIC shortly after they were first released. The green 24hour hand is very interesting. The watch does have a lot of presence and I find the lugs of the watch quite substantial. My watch is very accurate and will only be a second or so out per day, and if you leave it the right way sitting overnight you can to some extent reduce that variation.

I have a GMT IIc coming. ETA early next week. Till then it's looking at the Rolex GMT IIc wallpaper. Typing on my iPhone isn't bad but inserting emoicons is a royal pain. Anyways have a good flight and enjoy your new GMT!
