The GMT IIc is officially off my wish list....

Hi guys!

Just after crossing over to the dark side 2 weeks ago and landing my first Pam,I kinda promised my fiance that I would lie low for a while..

That promise was broken today....

I just could not resist the temptation of being able to land one of the watches on my wish list .... The Rolex GMT IIc 116710LN!

I hope you guys enjoy the pics while I prepare myself for a long sermon from the wife to be....

Wish me luck guys!

Welcome to the club! Looking at your taste in watches I am sure you took care of your fiancee in the ring department so no need to worry kabayan... Enjoy and wear them in good health!

That's a tough one... Hmmmmm! It really depends on the mood...

I've had the GMT IIc for only 4 days.. I wore it 3 times and wore the Pam once. Bad news for my other watches...

Thanks! It's just awesome man! I find my self checking the watch without actually checking the time

Better to do it BEFORE you're married! Make sure you buy a sports car or motorcycle before the big day too!

That watch and the Daytona are fighting for top spot on my Short List. Third in line on my short list is to get $$$ so I can get #1 or #2!!!!
