F17 members really amaze me sometimes!

So today I had a PM from an F17 member who I’ve recently been chatting in Messages with about a particular item.

We all know the GMT-Master II is a classic, but this one has that special “something”. It’s the left-handed crown and that green-and-black bezel (aptly nicknamed “Sprite”) – it’s just a bit different…a bit more fun. And this one? Straight from the authorized dealer, jubilee bracelet, that cool new green box… it’s the whole deal! If you’ve been thinking about a GMT, but want something a bit more unique, this could be the one. It’s a great way to add a bit of personality to a seriously…
