I really had a great time - first in PA, and then in Germany, Holland and Belgium. Of course I saw a lot of nice watches! Unfortunately my trip coincided with the worldwide slump in the economy, which resulted in our currency weakening drastically against the major currencies. My trip was 25% dearer as a result........
Well, I did pick up a few pieces to bring back. I will report on them one by one later on.
The GMT Master II performed superbly. I have never worn this watch for 3 weeks solid before, so I can safely say it was a dream. It is so user friendly when adjusting times across the zones - especially the feature allowing you to adjust backwards too - with the date reversing if necessary.
Only two complaints (make that 3...)
- lume is VERY poor at night (I wore it 24/24)
-gaining about 35 sec /day, so I will have to have it regulated.
- Most people doubt the originality of a Rolex nowadays, due to the number of fakes about...
I took some "in situ" pics of the piece on the trip.
