neversummer Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hello folks! Thought it might be interesting. This is taken in 1963 in Kremlin, Moscow. Fidel Castro is meeting Nikita Khrushchev. Fidel is wearing Rolex...two of them, on the same wrist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceejay Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 He should have got the GMT then he would have known the time back home as well as there on 1 watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) He had at least 2 GMT´s GMT-Master Reference 6542 without crownguards and the 1975 GMT-Master Reference 1675 with black bezel insert: There´s an article on Jake´s Rolex world. Cuban revolutionaires loved the brand. Here´ s Che with his GMT Master, looks great Edited September 9, 2014 by Nightwatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Imho Che Guevara aka 'The Butcher of La Cabana' was a better man after Mario Teran got done with him. Ex CIA guy Felix Rodriguez supposedly still has the GMT. Che 'gave it up' after he no longer needed to know what time it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Automatico, give a look to the movie "The Motorcycle Diaries". You may change the idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I could smart off and say you might read this guy's actual history but I will not. Do not believe the media hype. I have talked to quite a few people who lived in Cuba during the Castro and Che era who are now living in Miami and other parts of the USA.

lhooq Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Even if Motorcycle Diaries were completely accurate, there is a vast distance between the film's hero and the man who was executed all those "counterrevolutionaries" and was too radical even for Fidel Castro. But, boy, did he look good in a beret! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
