Congratulations . . . On These, It's All About the Bezel

Congratulations on winning this one!!

On these 11630 GMTs, it's all about the bezel, to me, and this one looks great. The bezels do get beaten up, over the life of the watch, and replacements are difficult to find.

Agree with you about the new perspective, from the US of A . . . all of a sudden, it seems that everything priced in Euro is selling at a 25 to 30% discount. I'm not sure how good it will be selling into the current market, but the buying is nice at the moment.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

: I was the person who bid and won the auction for the GMT. I was
: very hesitant at the end to make the last bid, b/c I had to bid
: from 5000 to 5500. I realized that the fees were a bit much, and
: I probably did overpay a little, but the watch does look pretty
: good, and finding one with a nice bezel does not seem to be that
: easy. Most of theses GMT in the marketplace are not that cheap
: either. Not to mention I considered the USD and Eur conversion
: rate, which presently is very favorable for US buyers.

: Once I receive the watch, I will post some pictures.
