My favorite watch - period. In the early 70's I bought a slightly battered GMT that was on a leather strap. I had it refurbished by a local watchmaker (who I still use) and he made the watch perfect (new bezel, new insert, cleaned and polished the case, built an expanding riveted bracelet for it), but my wife wasn't too excited about the Pepsi bezel. So -- for one of my birthdays, she took it to an AD and had him convert it to a two-tone. In those days an AD would do that - the AD even returned my all of my parts! Imagine. At any rate, I have worn my TT GMT almost continually since then. I love that watch and if I had only one Rolex (god forbid), my TT GMT would be the one.
