1. The Accuracy Test. First you are stripped of your watch, blind folded, dropped off at a secret location in Geneve and then asked to guess the correct time. Under current TRF standards your answers must be -2/+2. The test is repeated in five positions. Rumor has it that Adam had to retake one of the positions. But lips are sealed as to which one.

2. The GMT BLOR Variant Test. You must able to tell the difference between a Mark I, II, and III bezel. This is the only test where you have a right to appeal. Padi is the final arbiter.

3. The Tutu Test. This is the one that separates the wheat from the chaff. You would be surprised at the number of high posters who do not have the legs to carry off a tutu. TRF lure is that Tim holds the highest Tutu Test score in TRF history and a that a slightly airbrushed picture of the same lines the fabled Rolex corridor outside the Managing Director’s Office at Rolex HQ in Geneve.

Stay safe.
Did someone say tutu, how did this get out
