Who wears a GMT Master?
Granted, I'm asking as a biased owner of said watch... meaning, one could just as easily start a thread asking about Submariner, Sea Dweller, etc etc etc... but for me, since I own a GMT Master... I'm curious who else wears one. In particular, who, famously, wears one? I saw that the CEO of Ferari wears one...

http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/2010/0...w-ferrari.html

And looking at the pics.. yeah, that's a damn nice looking watch.. so it got me wondering... who else, famous, wears a GMT Master? Anyone know?

It was a word play. I had a Pepsi but flipped it, so the "two" I was referring to was "II" as in the IIc that I now have.

I'll duck and cover now that I outed myself as a non-vintage GMT guy.
