Hiya, Mates!
I must confess to abusing your vision tonight with this newly acquired ROLEX GMT-MASTER II SPRITE I was influenced to buy through the words and actions of mates on several watch sites. I was curious about it so I boldly purchased one; after a 2.5 weeks journey it arrived at the 'ole homestead. It was packaged solidly, wrapped in plastic, of course. The watch itself construction wise isn't too shabby: the case is solid and lacks sharp edges; the bezel insert is aluminum but cut to look like ceramic; the jubilee bracelet is chinsy -- not solid -- with the links held together with micro-screws -- some of which were VERY DIFFICULT to remove to size the bracelet for my wrist. The inner "circle" inside the case (can't think of the word) is engraved & possesses a serial number; crystal has the small etched crown at the 6 position & the cyclops/date window are small but typical of some GATE Rolexes; the watch winds very smoothly and has a great power reserve (which I forgot to measure). The watch & bracelet weigh in at 135 grams, and the flip "hatch" on the "thing" (sorry, again, for a bad memory kicking up) has a nicely attached crown. I know some mates do not like it, but for a small amount (ca $75), you get a decent watch that keeps great time. dave:

Again, folks, I apologize for some of the inarticulate words I used in the text; it comes with the territory after my brain surgery to remove a tumor; there's nothing I can do about it but just plunge ahead. I'm just thankful I REMEMBER WHO I AM!! heh!

Big boy 4014 passed through town. Largest steam locomotive in the world.
Oh, WOW!! I didn't realize some BIG BOYS were still in operation!! I would have given my right n*t to see that beauty roll by!! WHERE did this occur??? Here in northeastern PA, in Scranton's STEAMTOWN, there's a BIG BOY (X4012) on static display!! You are one LUCKY dude!!

They just finished a 5 year restoration of #4014 to return it to operational condition. It's on a rolling tour now through Chicagoland then on to Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming, off to California in the fall. It's considered a rolling museum so keep an eye out. I expect it'll be on the east cost in a year or two.
