Really great action shots! Rolexes being used as they were meant to be used. Tool watches. You can look at your watch and remember the Canyon, almost "soiling" your pants,the white water, the crosswind, the night jump into a postage stamp sized DZ in Panama...

Yeah, yeah, just because you have a snazzy shirt with four bars on it and a plane that makes a lot more noise than mine you think that makes you special huh?! haha But seriously, I do have a lot of respect for you guys that fly the big iron.

My real world job, I'm an air traffic controller so I see what real pilots are capable of every day...some pretty amazing stuff. I like to think it wouldn't be possible at all without their Rolex GMT IIs.

There are a few captains that I know own the GMT and every time they ask me for a time check I say "Official airport Rolex time XXXX Zulu". Obviously not standard phraseology by any means but it always gets a reaction.

Best regards,

J.
