My first Purchase GMT2c and opinions
Ok, so ive been wearing my new GMT2C (Thanks to DAVIDSW) for exactly one day now and here are some of my opinions/observations on it:
1. Its extremely comfortable to wear. You know its there by the weight buts its very snug 2. Its even more beautiful and stunning than in the photos 3. The green hand is great. Its there if you are looking for it but blends into the black face if you're not using it. 4. The ceramic bezel is amazing looking. It really stands out. 5. I keep finding small pieces of plastic on it in places where i have not seen before 6. There is nothing that can compare to opening the box for the first time Finally, its an amazing watch and i can now understand why everyone of here thinks so highly of it. |

Jason, you gotta plan the purchases. This way in a few years you will have a number of great watches without damaging the finances.

Good idea about spacing out the purchases. I have my eye on SS Daytona, Blue Sub or Sub LV or Milgauss GV/White for the next purchase. Decisions , Decisions ....... hmmmmmm |

The SS is a great choice and offers ultimate flexibility for both casual and more formal occassions. Enjoy and wear it in good health!

Great to hear that you have been happy with your purchase. I am looking to purchase the same watch from David as well. From all my research this watch seems to be a great option as well.
I have my eye on the SS Daytona as well...;) |

I have the same Rolex, I remember having all the same feelings that you just described. And a lot of those feelings will never leave you. Its a work of art, and I personally couldn't be happier with mine. But... I do warn you. After you have that feeling once, it's hard to resist another slice.
I'm currently trying to make arrangements for my next foray into the Rolex world, a Daytona in White Gold. I just need to re-evaluate how much I like my house/girlfriend/car. It's safe to say. I have the bug. Enjoy! |

Pricing
Thanks for the write-up congratulations on your watch. I have stalked this for a long time and am ready to buy. I have negotiated $6K retail, have you heard of anyone doing better than this?
