It could have been worse

You could have developed a strong taste for manly facial and body hair, probably why the gmt master looked so good although a red 308 helped too
Fantastic story! This timepiece is #1 on my wish list!

I can certainly relate to the Magnum PI narrative. He is one of my all time favourite TV stars. I confess to watching all the old episodes and even went to Hawaii to celebrate my wife’s 50th just before covid cruelly stopped free travel. We hired a conver...

IMHO GMT is the most quintessential Rolex (more so than daytona, sub)🙂
Happy 25th!

Hindsight is 20 / 20. Only then do we realize how it made us feel. Perhaps you were chasing something else, maybe raising funds for a different project. Not to worry, if you want it back, I’m sure you will find a way to make that happen!
Magnum, my favourite series back then

Remember this part of the series very well. But it needed plenty more years to buy a GMT Master II. And I sold it too.🤨
Too bad!

You know it could be worse if you kept every watch

According to sources I've seen (not asking him directly) Jay Leno has over 181+ exotic cars & trucks in his collection, and 160 these vehicles are stored in his garage in Burbank, California which today occupies more than 120,000 square feet. I heard him...

Fun story to share Mon Ami!

That scene with the boy and the dad’s watch on is a great one I never knew. Alas, no Rolex for me.
The GMT is truly perfect!

No other travel watch is as iconic and well designed as the GMT. It's the quintessential Rolex sports watch, even more than the sub and the daytona in my humble opinion.
A legend and for good reason.

And Magnum, P.I. is a great show for a young kid to watch in the 80s. It sure was for me... What's not to like? Free rent in paradise, use of a Ferrari, sporting a Rolex GMT, and sun and babes...lots of babes. )) My first nice watch was also a Rolex in th...
Rolex GMT MASTER 16700

I actually think that this GMT

Roughly this generation at the latest, and back to the original, is THE Rolex watch. Not the sub, not the explorer, not the bubbleback. This is debatable of course, but to me it is this one.
