Sharing a new acquisition.

Hello everyone,
please allow to present my first new Rolex, a GMT Master II SS C.
Suddenly the WIS bug hit, plus the birthday is coming. After some consideration, looking and thinking, joined this wonderful forum earlier this month and decided to join the ranks. And it's done. Opening box, peeling plastic, holding it, staring at it, examining it, enjoying every second of it (pun intended), contemplating the quality, the solidity, the beauty, the design and the functionality: all fantastic. Wearing it feels indescribable, a new dimension...
Must thank forum members for thoughtful contributions, including awesome photos.

Thank you everyone for positive responses. And yes, enjoy the Remy. Sometimes I also like Grand Marnier.
