    Woohoo! my GMT2c has arrived!!!

    Just had a call from EJ in Bluewater and good news, the GMT2 and the Subby ND that i've been waiting 2 months for has finally arrived! Just whizzing down there now to decide which one to go for; will almost certainly be the GMT...but you never know with me, i have a tendency to change my mind at the last moment :)

    Anyway - if you see a BMW 540 caning it down the M2 at breakneck speed, you know who it is, and why :)

    Good stuff! in my opinion the GMTIIC is the much superior watch...Maxi Dial, bigger case, ceramic bezel, better bracelet with solid links and much improved clasp, plus the GMTIIC has a date and GMT complication.

    Good luck choosing though, I'm sure you'll love whatever one you get.

    Do you have a Signet Card? If not, is there a member nearby to get you a 10% Signet discount?

    Re: Woohoo! my GMT2c has arrived!!!

    Was a no-brainer in the end. As much as i love the classic look of the ND, i just had to pay the extra and go with the GMT. The hollow end-links were the ultimate deal-breaker for the ND. Why-oh-why did Rolex not just put the solid end-links on the ND ages ago? that said, the GMT looks a bit more classy - maybe a bit more bling but certainly not what i'd consider brash.

    I used my Signet card but the terms on the card are that you cannot negotiate a discount. Not fussed really as it was insurance payout and they payed me out a lot more than i paid for the watches that were stolen.

    I'll put some pics up later, got to get on with some DIY now - i'm under strict orders :)

    I do keep having regrets about not buying the GMT IIC a couple of months ago, had it in my hands, had the money on the card but the salesman was just a pain and i ended up walking away because of that, i do keep having twinges about getting one, maybe one day :(

    WOW. What a picture! It is very flash, not least the little detail of the rolex insignia around the inside rim as you have photographed it. But as much as I like it, i fear that it would simply make my hand and wrist look too masculine if I were wearing it. That's not to say that some women can get away with wearing it, I just don't think I am one of them.

    Very nice. I'll be interested to know how delicate the polished links are in terms of swirlies. That and the cyclops was a deal-breaker for me in a similar choice to the one you had. Bu the maxi dial is definitely yummers

    great choice :lol: :lol: :lol: Welcome to the GMTII-C club!!! I have been away for a short break to Germany and was wearing mine - It's a perfect travelling watch and oh-so comfortable with the micro-adjuster making the switch between -2C and +22C wrist sizes so easy (I find mine shrink in the cold - oh-er musses :?) - highly recommended. I had my centre links polished out much to some peoples dismay - but I love the look - and no need to worry so much about swirlies!
