Watch of the week. Rolex GMT Master 11
September 18, 2016
From Jonathan at The Edinburgh Watch Company.
” From the world of Rolex this week we share what has been one of the best selling sports watch since its launch in 2014 at the Basel watch fair. This model is known as the GMT Master 11 BLNR and affectionately referred to as the “Batman” or” Bruiser”
As a popular model in the sports range the GMT Master was originally designed by Rolex as a tool watch for pilots so that they could easily recognise whether they were flying in an am or pm zone. The bezel on earlier models had two colours, red/blue known as the Pepsi or red/black.. The Coke! These classic watches are now rapidly appreciating with prices achieving in excess of £6000 for a watch that in 2006 cost around £3000.
The watch we feature here is the latest version and in its blue/black configuration is a very hot and desirable watch with a typical wait list of a year! The old aluminium bezel has been replaced with a ceramic bezel along with a number of enhancements including a more substantial bracelet, wider case lugs and increased lume on the dial for improved night time reading. As a result for those not wanting to wait nearly new examples like this August 2016 watch are available on the pre-owned market place. This model along with the new Daytona Ceramic is like a watch equivalent of a GT3 or 458!”

EINE REISE NACH SCHOTTLANDPorsche 356 A Bj. 1959 - sehr guter Zustand, für Rennen aufgebaut!Anzeige gefunden, sofort in das Auto verliebt - Anbieter Border Reivers?? Wo- Schottland?? Also, einen Flug gebucht nach Edinburgh und kurzer Hand auf die Insel geflogen.Ganz idyllisch ein Stück hinter Glasgow an einem See gelegen hat sich die Firma "Border Reivers" versteckt und auf hochwertige Autos spezialisiert.Der Inhaber - Tom Fitzsimmons ist mehr als freundlich uns hilfsbereit und versucht seinen Kunden fast jeden Wunsch von den Augen abzulesen, hat uns spät nachts noch zum Essen ausgeführt und kurz vor Mitternacht nach zurück nach Glasgow gefahren. Wir konnten in einer blitzsauberen Halle das Objekt der Begierde in aller Ruhe inspizieren (und alle anderen Auto's auch noch) und durften danach eine Probefahrt durch die Highlands absolvieren.Sämtliche Sonderwünsche und Umbauten wurden durch Border Reivers noch erledigt und gegen Entgelt wurde der Wagen noch bis vor die Haustüre in Deutschland geliefert. Ein wirklich perfekter und freundlicher Service der nicht selbstverständlich ist.Many thanks Tom, it was great to make business with you!Thomas Eder aus Bayern

As per the add, I fell in love with the car which was offered by Border Reivers, So a flight booked flown to Scotland. Quite a bit away from idyllic Glasgow situated on a lake,is where the company "Border Reivers" hides and specializes in high quality cars. The owner - Tom Fitzsimmons is more than friendly to us and very helpful. Caters to his customers every whim. He gave us late night run to Glasgow for a meat, shortly before midnight after back after it. We were in a spotless showroom, full of the objects of desire. He gave us peace to inspect and allowed us to undergo a test drive through the highlands afterwards. We agreed the purchase and some special requests and modifications to be carried out which were done by Border Reivers. We paid for the car and it was delivered to our doorstep in Munich, Germany in a covered transporter. A truly perfect and friendly service which is not self-evident. Many thanks Tom, it was great to do business with you!ThomasEder aus BayernThomas Eder Racing his Porsche at the Nurburgring
