Goodbye Doxa, goodbye GMT IIc ...

Good things usually comes to an end ... early! Oh well. I have to let go of my Doxa and GMT IIc unexpectedly. I like both, so this decision didn't come easy.

I got semi-screwed by the credit card company. I end up doing semi ok and I don't really have to have to sell both watches. But I strongly-dislike (well "hate" is an extreme emotion, so I use "STRONGLY-dislike" instead :p ) being screwed over by fine prints. So I end up selling the Rolex GMT IIc to recover my lost, which I can get my "cost for the watch" + "cost of being screwed over by the cc company" back (net gain or lost is $0). And the Doxa being sold was pretty much out of my frustration with the credit card company and that I rather have some buffer with my toy funds.

Maybe this way, I am one step closer to having an all Omega collection. LOL :D Watch out Ploprof 1200m ... :p

@ the mall ...

I can never do this with my Rolex Sea Dweller 4000 ...

The Maxi dial on the GMT IIc (117610) provides much better lume than the Sea DWeller did. If the Sea Dweller has lume this *decent*, I would have kept my Sea Dweller.

Mind you, the Omega SMP's and Seiko Diver's lume still a few steps brighter than the Rolex.

Having said that, the lume on my GMT IIc can last beyond 4:30am and still *readable* in a dark room.

Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN is here ...

Ok, so the Rolex GMT Master II 116710LN (GMT IIc, c for the ceramic bezel insert) arrived. Its a very nice size cause I found the Sea Dweller just a little on the small side. But the super case of the GMT IIc made it the perfect size for a sports watch. The Maxi dial indeed allows more real estate for lume material, hence better lume brightness. That's a much welcome upgrade from regular dial and hands. I am liking it so far.

I am still trying to properly fit the watch, the bracelet sizing option includes: full links, hidden half link inside the clasp and hidden micro adjustment inside the clasp (circled red).
