Daniel Craig offers his GMT to a huge fan
Daniel Craig seems like a pretty stand up guy. Glad to see he swapped his Omega for a Rolex

Mr. Craig, if you are a fellow TRF member, I would love to accept your offer on Tom Murro's behalf.

I have to say that I too would have been uncomfortable accepting a gift like that. I don't know exactly what Craig was thinking when he offered it, but I have known people who offer things that they really would rather not part with. If Craig is a WIS I find it hard to believe that he wanted to give his GMT away, regardless of how much money he does or does not have.

I see both sides of this. First off...unbelievable gesture by Mr. Craig to offer his Rolex GMT to someone he just met off the streets. One side of me would say, "TAKE IT"...it's a free Rolex given by a famous actor. The other side would say, I haven't done anything to deserve such a gesture and I would feel weird accepting such an expensive gift from a stranger. Great story nonetheless!

Nice gesture, but I couldn't have taken the GMT either. Probably handled appropriately by both parties.

I heard the fan was a WIS and noticed the cyclops wasn't magnifying at 2.5X

If I were Mr. Craig, I would have offered him the GMT in exchange for Kelly!
He probably would have declined, buy hey you never know! // Gary |
