Chuck Yeager GMT Master 16700

I had been intending to post this a couple of weeks back but completely forgot.

Recently returned from a trip to Tokyo for the Rugby World Cup and while taking in a day's shopping in the Ginza district, I stumbled across this very unusual GMT in a second hand luxury goods store. The Real McCoy's Chuck Yeager 16700. I was surprised at having never heard of it before, despite being a GMT owner, but managed to snap a quick (slightly out of focus) photo while the sales assistant wasn't looking as I'm not sure they'd be too fond of photos.

Here a link to an article about Chuck, which some of you may find interesting. The man is an absolute legend!

Obviously the watches contain aftermarket modifications but like myself, some of you on here might not be aware of the story so thought I'd give it a share. Very cool to stumble across one of only fifty in existence.
