Theo Paphitis - UK Dragons Den has a GMT 116710.

Hi Guys

Just thought I'd let everyone know that Theo Paphitis from the popular BBC show, Dragons Den could be seen in more than one episode wearing a TT GMT II!

I just saw the hint of an Oyster bracelet under his sleave, and then sure enough you could see it was a 116710!

It pleases me that someone with his income would choose that watch, not the cheapest or the most expensive, just a brilliant watch!

Thats why I bought mine! :-)

The opening credits show him in a Franck Muller as well. How do we notice these things!?

(I think it's an 18kt King Conquistador Cortez)
