          went into the rolex store today to ask about a GMT Master 2 (and just try one on). The wait time for all models? 12 months! And they get 1 in stock each month. The first person to pay gets it. They give you 10 minutes from time of call to pay before calling the next in line. Ruthless!

          Not the GMT Master 2 but still relevant…

                    It's the 'superlative chronometer' standard - they quietly rolled out a -2/+2 seconds/day standard for all their movements late last year.  The green tag denotes that its a part of that new standard.

                      I wonder if the GMT Master and Daytona are actually more available than legend would suggest. If it takes seven years to get a watch then I could see most people going elsewhere.

                          Rolex generally is just a great product. In my Hubble view a GMT or Submariner are as good as it gets in that price range. I have a few watches but if I could have only one and had to keep it for good I would choose a steel GMT. The steel watches are great value for money over a period of time. Generally they run for about 8-10 years before they need a service. However if used in deep water they need more regular checks.
                          The case work is to a very high standard and the movement is a real work horse, not a highly tuned race car. That's why it lasts for so long.
                          The latest watches are just getting better all the time due to more accurate machining and the modern oils used today that just don't degrade like the old ones did.
                          So for me a Steel sports watch will give good service over a life time of daily wear.

                              Thanks @Tempvs. I'll hopefully pick one up in a few months. They are about 15% more in Japan than list price of Sydney, which is a bit odd.

                                @Snowy from what i realise. "luxury" import stuff in japan is rather expensive from what i've come across..

                                  The U.K. Is one of the cheapest places to buy Rolex if your not from the UK meaning that you purchase VAT free for export. The currency is weak and you get a bit of discount. Can make for a decent deal on many watches.

                                        I really like the one on the left. However, I really don't like the $37,000 price tag. 😞

                                          VC bracelets are really beautiful.  Never tried one on, so I don't know how comfortable they are, but I do love the way they look.

                                            It's a great watch from a fantastic brand. The quality is up with the very best. It's also a very wearable watch.
