From Spain I congratulate you for your professional career and for this great GMT that has accompanied you for so many years and I hope it will accompany you for many more years. Thank you for your publication.

Old Scottsdale AZ

For you internet detectives, The gold and turquoise part of my watch band on my Rolex GMT was made by a jeweler on south side of 5th Ave a cross the street from the Rolex dealer Wesley Jewelers in Old town Scottsdale AZ in the early 1980's. I had seen it on the cover of an advertisement magazine from Scottsdale.
Me I did not save anything about it at the time. Would like a photo of the cover of the add magazine i saw it on and the name of jeweler that made it. I have had no luck in my search.I thought if I found the add magazine it would tell me who made it.
Good luck and I hope someone finds

You sir, and your watch, have had an amazingly adventurous life. Thank you for sharing your story. I'm not surprised to see that you prefer Snap-on tools, I do as well. Quality tools and tool watches never go bad.
