I thought the GMT was not for me - wrong!

We actually have an aircraft thread in the Lounge.

Yeah we are known to go a bit off track here and there.

And it's our nature! No accusations of "hijacking" the thread either. We just let it roll.

My GMTII was my first Rolex and it was a gift from my wife, one that I'll never part with (the watch  ). My EXPY2 is my daily wearer. I put a Jubilee on that one and just love the way it feels. Helicopters? Not for me. Too many moving parts that could just fly off it at any time.

Fantastic combination you got going on there. I am even more convinced about the Exp II now, seeing it with the Jubilee. I have no doubt the wife is a keeper 2! My first purchase was a Blue Sub 16613. The AD nearly choked when I told him I wanted the watch but did not want the Oyster bracelet but the TT Jubilee instead. To his credit he made the exchange before I walked out the store. I have always had a thing for Jubilee bracelets. I will tell you the David Duggan (Bond Street, London) warned me that selling the watch to him, without the Oyster, was going to cost me - he certainly made sure of that. No matter, I enjoyed the combination. Heck, if I can find the right end links I will use the Jubilee on my SD, given half a chance.
As for too many moving parts - keeps you on your toes wondering which one them might fly off at any moment

I started out at as Jubilee man, too but as my tastes refined, I appreciate the Oyster.  He's probably correct that you'll lose a bit of cash when you turn it to him, but I wonder how much interest it would get with the Juju!  You can always keep an eye out for an Oyster and keep the Jubilee for the next one.  Besides, a two toned Jubilee brings a good price by itself.

Beautiful watch. I love the Pepsi GMT. I'd love to get one, but every time I turn around it goes up in price.
