I think he would probably just stick with the same old Pepsi GMT he wore before on the show. Tough to beat IMHO

Pepsi GMT, same as always.

Didn't his actual watch from the show recently get auctioned for charity?

Yes; he is on the board of directors for the NRA; I have not seen the auction results or who won the watch. I might not have won, but I would have bid on it !!

It's funny you mention Kobold. I went to their Facebook page because I really haven't heard anything about them in the last year or so. It took me a good 20 seconds of scrolling to get to an actual watch. Everything was some model or actor in some stupid promotional photo. I finally got to their Intrepid chronograph and found this quote after following the link:

Size matters. After years of requests to produce an oversized chronograph, we finally did it. Introducing the Intrepid Chronograph.

Who the hell is requesting oversized chronographs...for years?!?!

I picked on Kobold as they must have sponsored the Hawaii 5-0 reboot because the main character was usually wearing one. Nothing would go these days without someone doing some kin=d of sponsorship.

Funny thing is look at a lot of TV commercials today and the people are wearing PAM or Sterile subs on NATO style straps frequently. All a coordinate part of the show.

The main character wore a Kobold early on, but wears a last gen Aquatimer now. Chin Ho Kelly wore a Kobold for two seasons, but now wears some sort of monstrosity, might still be a Kobold. H5-0 is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Ahhh, I stopped watching after the first year, though Grace Park was a guilt pleasure of mine

Not sure about the watch but hopefully he'd wear shorts that actually fit him.

It would still be a GMT or possibly a Sub if a Rolex. Don't forget, the watch was a treasured hand me down from his father who was a Navy pilot.
