I put down a little more than half today. I need to add links so I’ll have to wait a week or so until he gets them in and resizes the watch for me.

Going to be paying my bank account back until like May, but I’ve been waiting about 8 months for this to come in.

As far as GMT Master IIs go it’s nothing special, simple steel band. But I love it! It’s been refurbished 3 times. Rolex lubes it up, replaces the o-rings, face and bezel. Recalibrates it, I only have to slow 1 or 2 seconds per month after a refurb. However, the refurb now cost as much as I originally paid for the watch

Yeah, a service at RSC is like $900 and more if things need to be replaced. Luckily, I am 5 years away from a service on my Yachtmaster40 (2 years old) and 6 years away on a service on my Explorer 2 Polar (1 year-old). Other luxury brands are just as expensive to service. I have 2 Corums from around 2005 and they need servicing and they told me $750 just for the bare minimum stuff.

Keep it winded, keep it clean, take care of it, refurbish it regularly. Where all the things I was told. I followed none of that advice, I was busy. Flying! This watch never let me down, despite my abuse. I took it into some of the most harshest extremes, I abused it. Banged it against hard objects (not on purpose!) dropped it a few times. Put the bezel back on a few times. It’s been a strong durable watch.

That is part of the appeal. It can be passed down. With some care, it will last a lifetime.
