This is probably the best thing I've ever read on any watch related forum. I lost my dad when I was young and can relate to your story. The background and pictures really brought everything together and I hope, one day, my grandchildren will receive my watches and happily reflect on their father and grandfather.

Wow what a cool story, I'm pretty sure I have read/commented on it before!
I have inherited my dads Rolex which is "only" a Datejust and has nowhere as cool story as the one you have got. I hope in the future that my Tudor GMT has a cool a story to tell!

Appreciate the interest and happy to oblige. Have an ammo strap on order and looking forward to trying it out on that. My father wore this watch on a leather strap.
