It is all his fault ( How I fell in love with watches ).

I already told you that THE watch which lead me to madly fall in love with watches was a Rolex GMT. I also told you that it was because the first time I saw one was in a Thomas Magnum Episode. So, I did a search and finally fell on the picture which was t...

That many of us have caught onto the GMT bug. We are greatful to you and excited about it. In the first place , thanks to Thomas Mag that we have someone here who shares his sea of horological knowledge with us without a blink of an eye. Thank you Nico.
I think that many fell in love with the GMT

And I don't think it was specially Thomas Magnum fault, nor mine. I believe that the GMT was the " first real watch " for a lot of us. It will be interesting to know how many got it as their forst watch... Best and thanks for your nice words, Edward. Nico...
Any picture?

Who wouldn't want the same watch as that sexy beast?! I loved Magnum, P.I. when I was a kid, so I asked my dad to please grow a mustache like Tom's. My mother vetoed that idea though! LOL! The watch itself is a classic. Very nice story, Nicolas. It's amus...
Funny, Daos.

I understand your mother, though. Im sure that we all have some " images " in our mind, which, at a certain moment, echoed in our watch decisions, dont you think? Best, Sister. Nicolas
Certainly! For me...

Pussy Galore! I have the feeling you'll love my review on the Rolex GMTs... Still Work in Progress, and still progressing. With a bit of luck I will post it just before Xmas. There are some connections with some Cult Movies. Best, Sister. Nicolas
LOL... It worked with me, indeed.

But I doubt these GMTs were very popular at this time... We were at the end of the 70ies, early 80ies. The Quartz was the King, at this moment. Best, Nicolas
Great story Nico...

I also remember that episode but I wasn't into watches back then so I didn't really notice what watch it was..!! Mine comes back on Mon with the same pepsi bezel and I can't wait.. Yours, Andy.
Me neither, well, not that much...
By: amanico : September 25th, 2010-08:30
But when I saw it, I fell in love and I knew that some day, I will get one... These Rolex GMTs are certainly my favourite Rollies, with the Explos. Don't forget to post pics and to share your feelings when you get it! Best, Nicolas
