I guess my Christmas came early too...
read about this Batman or Bruiser here a lot but didn't expect to get it.
This is the first time I saw this watch in the showcase. Like a curse, I thought, "just another Rolex, they look similar blah blah" but when I put it on and examine closely in metal, it is very attractive and love the bezel. Rolex really did a good job.
Got the blessing of my "boss" and I'm the proud owner of a popular watch here.
Today's shopping was a dangerous one but we managed to not loose our minds, only get this GMT 
I will take the plastic off after this, no worries, this will be a beater too.
Happy holidays to all.

My boss love this one, matches her Chopard ring.
Still have these older Lange 1s available in RG
And in Platinum
Older model of Saxonia Dual Time, very smooth button operation but didn't speak to me.
Same for this guy, hard to accept the retrograde day-date.
Interesting Tourbillon by Corum but I am staying away from this brand.
This looks good in titanium

huge congrats Raymond..never underestimate the power of the crown ;) This Rolex
is just amazing and you will certainly enjoy it. Good thing that you did stay away from the Corum and other watches
You are right, Christian. Thank you.
The Lange 1s are iconic and superb but you'll soon understand why I pass it Rgds Raymond
Congratulations on your new addition!
Looks good on you and should make for a hardy beater if you decide to use it that way Out of curiosity - you said you\'re staying away from Corum. I remember you having a split second chrono from them that you like a lot. What is now making you more reser...
Thank you! Yes I have the one Corum and I like it but it's not growing...imo.
Plus, I'm not those who collects the same brand, similar models or style like a theme player, haha. I like diversity and prefers varieties. Going forward, I'm only focusing on 4 brands, PP, ALS, Rolex and Omega. Some day, I think I will add some iconic JL...
huge congratulations !
the watch looks fantastic...wear it in good health !! Best, mahesh.,
True...IMHO
the reason is Rolex\'s restrained / conservative design which makes it timeless...also most rolex are daily wearer & damn robust - you don\'t have to think twice you take it for a plunge or a game ! Best, mahesh.,
Aha! I've never thought from a seller's perspective.
So it's a win-win situation? Good.
Congrats, Raymond!
How funny what makes a little change regarding the colour of the bezel with an "average" Rlx! Nice catch! By the way, where did you find the Lange\'s from the previous reference? Yours, Adam
Thanks Adam. It does change the looks but I also like this GMT function now that I read the manual...
The Langes are in downtown Portland, OR. Let me know if you need more info and I can introduce my sales to you. Rgds Raymond
That is a very nice catch. No doubt it will adorn your wrist many many times.
I have a few priorities to catch before this one, but no doubt that a modern GMT MASTER will find its way to my house. Huge congratulations, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nico...
I'm sure this GMT Master will find you and wish all your other priorities will come sooner than you expect. Rgds Raymond
Superb choice!
...and a heartfelt congratulations. Batman is one of my favorites from the brand.
It looks better than in photos.
The blue/black bezel looks different under different lights, and I agree it is quite a handsome watch. Thank you for your well wishes, JToddH. Hope you'll get yours soon. Rgds Raymond
Congrats Raymond !
this batman is a killer ! You will enjoy for years to come ! Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin. It is a killer, you nailed it first :)
Too many nice things in the world, not enough dough, haha. Rgds Raymond
Congratulations!
Mine is nearly 3 years old and probably the watch I wear the most. Great work watch, very convenient for traveling and very durable. Congratulations on the great addition!
Good to know from fellow experienced owners like you...
Yah I remember you wore it to the resort, on the boat photo. Thank you for the info. Rgds Raymond
How did you manage to leave the shop not bankrupt. What a selection.
congratulation on your new Rolex GMT. Many fans here. Wear it in great health. Thank you to the boss.
I'm on the verge of filling Chapter 11 :)
but I'm glad I took the plunge. The blue/black Cerachrom is attractive and it's a comfortable watch to wear....look who's talking to the Rolex expert. The boss is the best pick up of my life, haha. Rgds Raymond
