22 hours, 14 timezones, and the international dateline
22 hours later I finally made it to Guam. My GMT II served me well.
 I needed to track timezones in Houston, Honolulu, Guam as well as home. What a great travel tool.The first leg I saw the pilot wearing a very cool Breitling chrono. Two flight attendants on the last leg to Guam wore Rolex watches [2 tone DateJust and a pepsi GMT II just like mine except the bezel was really faded]. The Rolex GMT, don't leave home without it.   dP

Great points!
I am currently considering a Date Sub, but as much as I travel this may very well trump that choice.

Have a great trip.
Did you change your timezone with accordance with all 14 timezones you passed through?

Agreed ! I recently traveled to Asia for 2 weeks (Japan, HK, Singapore) and my GMT II was invaluable for keeping track of time quickly in multiple time zones.

Sounds like a nice trip ;)
I'm a huge fan of the GMT and think it's one of the most versatile Rolex watch. |
