The GMT - it cleans up nice!
My dad's GMT before / after. He's very into gardening, and not so much into caring for his watch, so I give it a good toothbrushing when he comes to visit the grandchildren.

Wow what a tank!
The way the bezel has worn, may I say the lack thereof, is amazing. Max Wells Orlando, FL |

The first pic with the black bezel almost gave me a heart attack. Even though the body definitely shows wear, that ceramic bezel almost looks new! Love seeing watches being worn like this.

Excellent work on the watch! And it only took a good five minute scrub!

No question that Rolex does top-notch materials engineering. Pretty sure they built the 6 digits to last forever.

Outstanding! It's refreshing to see a watch worn with purpose. It's lived a great life so far. May it serve your father many more years.

BTW, does your dad's GMT glow green instead of blue by chance?

The GMT - it cleans up nice!
It’s always refreshing to see a Rolex used as a tool instead of a piece of precious jewelry
Also I would love to see what kind of gunk comes out of the bracelet during a run through the ultrasonic |

Your dad is my hero! That is epic wear on a modern 6 digit. I’ve been thinking recently that I never see really hard worn modern Rolex and then boom, this gem shows up. It’s absolutely beautiful, love it!

Excellent seeing a watch being worn and not polished after a couple desk diving marks
