Yep. Same here. Hulks and Barons.

GMT master 16710 pepsi.

The ultimate pilot watch for very long haul flight :

Beautiful
Real history (pan am in the 50ies)
No battery
Reliable
Legible even under weak light
UTC is very useful for flight preparation and for airplane time check
The GMT Besel is also useful (as a "turnOgraph") to measuring elapsed time, handy for time tracking for anything less than 60 minutes
Very light on the wrist (nice feature after a flight of 10 hours or more)
Very robust and water resistant (nice feature during stopover at the swimming pull)

I LOVE MY 16710!!!

The bezel on the modern GMTs are bi-directional. More rugged? These things are tanks. My 116710 looks fantastic after almost four years of daily wear. In a year when I get it serviced I'll be adding my second Rolex. I can't stand the thought of going a day without one on my wrist.

Just curious, why did you leave the case stickers on the Sub?
