Yes, I was waiting on them dropping off naturally just to save the loveliness! This was 5 minutes after purchase :D

So after 4 or 5 months on the waiting list, the call from my trusted AD arrived yesterday and I am now the proud owner of a colourful GMT II.

Stickers are still on, as I'm trying to decide whether to lock it away for a year or two or wear it, as I love the LV so much...

It's interestingly slightly thinner than the Submariner to my eye, maybe the lesser depth rating.

Anyway, I'm very happy with my collection.

Interestingly they had a two tone Sky Dweller (gold/steel) for list. I was tempted but rule is always stainless sports models for me.

Feeling very lucky to have picked up these two, and my AD will have another sale as soon as they find me a Sea Dweller red dot.... Now the ceramic daytona - if only....

Pics like that keep the value rising and rising.

Always thought the GMT was one of the most useful complications, especially for travelers.

scotiasteve74 · 22 January 2018, 04:41 PM

BATMAN has now left the Batcave!

The GMT went back. Crown was having issues pulling out to position 3, date seemed to be changing after time set at 2am intermittently.

AD refunded after several emails/calls and me not really wishing for a repair of a brand new watch.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed increase of numbers of Rolex quality issues stories?

I was told by the AD that they had never had an issue in 26 years... However when I googled here I found my exact issues which other had sent back for repair.

Very frustrated now as they will not find a replacement as they said it has no issues. It clearly did as the crown would not move to position 3 more times than not, and date would change after time setting intermittently at 2am!

I am tempted to share the videos of the issues here and name the AD.

What ever happened to the customer is always right! Someone may be sold this now, with these issues...
