Something to remind them to check their watch, so they can realize that you've been shuffled through 3 waiting rooms and they're an hour late...

Seems like the perfect target audience to me...
Well they did in yesteryear a true 1930s Rolex Prince and not like the modern day pretender.



Rolex Prince 2731 Doctor style dial and one of my favourite Rolex vintage watches,the large second sub-dial to aid doctors counting pulse rate.

I think my old GMT (before service) would've been perfect for a cardiologist.





... the ticking would often suddenly stop then start again when I would intervene;-)

I use the bezel on my Sub quite a bit for timing events in the OR for cardiac surgery.

Like many docs, I like to fly planes so the 16710 comes in handy for that.

They need a watch that counts their money, in scales of thousands, hundred thousands, and millions.

Sometimes I go on these forums and click a thread and think to myself, why did I click on this thread?
