It's all marketing bullshit. *

Rolex gmt history...
*EDIT: May come across to hard. I think high end watches in general are built on marketing bullshit. It's manual / autos in a quartz world

Wasn’t the Tintin just a marketing exercise that went wrong?
Not sure if any GMTs are particularly storied in the way certain divers and chronos are. Pan Am pilots didn’t get up to the same sort of adventures I guess.
You could pop the bezel off a Rolex like Marlon Brando?

I was hoping for something that would shed some light on one of them - something similar to the story behind the Tintin Speedmaster, which to me makes up a large part of what makes it special, rather than marketing copy that points out the wonders of sapphire crystal and how amazing 100 metres of water resistance is.
Something that shows that the watch in question has a little bit of soul to it, and that the story has in some way had an impact on the person telling it.
