I just watched this! Amazing man, Moki Martin. It was a real honor to see him tell a little of his story and to see the watches he wore on missions. Hopefully Rolex will contact him and make him that gold watch.

His stories gave me chills...a true warrior for the USA.
Apparently the "poor man's Rolex" was good enough for all sorts of crazy missions at high altitude and under water. Tudor hires so many people that add little to no value to their product line. Moki would bring much better value as an ambassador to the Tudor brand. I hope Rolex helps him get the gold watch he wants. |

I really enjoyed that one too! It made me feel foolish worrying about the tiniest scratch or blemish on my watches. He had love for his watches for all the right reasons.

Best episode by far. A distant second would be Wei Koh for his general watch knowledge.

Great episode! You can tell he wears his watches because of his tan except on his left wrist.

Living just 20 mins from where this was shot. Growing up with my dad being a Navy Chief Petty Officer. And just having the highest amount of respect for veterans makes this the best talking watches ever.
STICKY! |
