Wow! GMT 2 from Andrew

The mailman made my day when he delivered my Rollie GMT two tone from our friend Andrew. The time piece

is absolutely beautiful and flawless. This is my first Rolex, and I am happy as a lottery winner to get this watch.

This quick I Phone pic is not the best, but believe me, the watch rocks!

Thank you TeeJay

Be warned, Rolex is a sickness... It creeps up on you, but once it has you, there's no escape... Just a matter of what variations take your fancy at any given time, as these are likely to change over time and exposure... :)

Wise words TeeJay, Sadly, I have fallen victim to this malady by way of Panerai. With luck , perhaps

the Rolex fetish will be under control, however, your heads up is duly noted and appreciated.post-3251-0-25306900-1344054654_thumb.jp

Looking good :good::drinks: As a former PAMophile myself, I know how the sickness takes hold, and sadly with Rolex, it is just, as bad, if not worse, as there's more model variants, and then sub-variants within the range of models. For example, we're both wearing GMT Masters, but they're both still apples and oranges in terms of comparing the two... As mentioned, it's just a case of which era/variations take your fancy at any given time :tu: :tu:

Yes Sir TeeJay, I am eyeing the Milgauss closely. This rep also seems to be a stellar watch. Do you agree?

100% The modern Milgauss isn't one which appeals to me personally (I'm not keen on the second hand, the mixed lume colors or the amount of mirror polishing for my own personal wear), but, I do think it is an incredibly well replicated watch, and equally, a very nice piece, infact, I'd go so far as to list it as one of the best of recent replications :victory: Given the past pieces you've had in your collection, where you live, and the work you do, I think it's a piece which would totally fit in to all those criteria, and is definitely the piece for you :good::drinks:

I would say that the GMT's are my favorite along the Rolex line. I would love to get a coke bezel one day. well done Hambone.....enjoy. :)

Photos really do not do this variant justice in capturing just how magic/retro-tastic/Big-Pimpin/on the DownLow this watch is, bro,it's a marvel in contradictions in that it's eye-catching yet subtle at the same time :good::drinks: The red of the bezel perfectly accents the red of the GMT hand, and somehow, just makes it really pop. The one I bought a few years ago was intended as a stag night auction for my friend's wedding, but the best man vetoed the idea so people wouldn't blow their beer budgets, so I kept the watch myself, and I have to admit, from the first time I opened the packaging, it totally grabbed me by the balls, and it has an intrisic quality which photos just never capture, so I can't stress strongly enough just what a 'must have piece' this one is for any collection :good::drinks:

Thanks TeeJay for your view on the Millgauss. When I drive to work on the Las Vegas strip, there is a Jeweler who has a giant billboard

of the Millgauss. It is not as fetching as the GMT, but still a great looking time piece. No doubt it will be in the collection shortly. Is there a

watchaholics anonymous?

Only this place... Plenty of enabling, and no Twelve Step program :good::drinks:

I bet that billboard looks stunning :tu: I know it's not the right piece for my collection (although some of the vintage Milgauss models would be a different matter :whistling: ) but I can't deny it's place as one of the best reps of recent years, and unlike the DSSD, which has countless versions, they pretty much just hit it out of the park on the first try with that one, so it definitely deserves a place in the spotlight :victory:

I meant to ask, is your daughter still pursuing a career in tattooing? If so, I hope it's going well for her :)
