I get the submariner being a divers watch with its depth rating and bracelet extension. I get the GMT being a pilots/travelers watch of choice with being able to track dual time zones. I even get the Explorer 2's connection to cave dwellers making the fixed 24hr bezel very handy. But as a happy owner of a OysterQuartz 17000, I have to admit I dont understand its being or real purpose. I read someone that it was a result of the quartz boom but why does every sdvertisement I see about this watch involves Antartica type scenery and mountain climbers, oh yeah and some guy named Reinhold Messner?
