Granted, I'm asking as a biased owner of said watch... meaning, one could just as easily start a thread asking about Submariner, Sea Dweller, etc etc etc... but for me, since I own a GMT Master... I'm curious who else wears one. In particular, who, famously, wears one? I saw that the CEO of Ferari wears one...

And looking at the pics.. yeah, that's a damn nice looking watch.. so it got me wondering... who else, famous, wears a GMT Master? Anyone know?

zeuloa · 17 August 2011, 03:53 PM

Che Guevara wore one, Dustin Hoffman, Chuck Yager...... Can't think of anymore right now.

Newportkrieger · 17 August 2011, 04:30 PM

Im not famous and I wear a Rolex GMT ( 16700 or 1675 usually).

That he did. Recognize the autograph on this original magazine advert?

I really think that Rolex should release the red/blue Pepsi combination on the new ceramic gmt. That would look great. You would get the retro feel of the old 1675,s and yet you would have the modern new feel of the gmt with the current supercase.

BH13GMT · 17 August 2011, 05:49 PM

This chap is quite famous

GeoGio Greece · 17 August 2011, 06:32 PM

My friends and I do !

We are all famous in between us, so we do not need any other reason as to enjoy our GMT's.

I would advice the same to you ! Just enjoy

therolexguy · 17 August 2011, 09:38 PM

I do!

SUBversive · 17 August 2011, 09:38 PM

I do.

It was a word play. I had a Pepsi but flipped it, so the "two" I was referring to was "II" as in the IIc that I now have.

I'll duck and cover now that I outed myself as a non-vintage GMT guy.

Submarino · 17 August 2011, 11:30 PM

I do as well. Here's my 1675 and my 16753.
