Bought the same mag today and enjoyed the rather short writeup. Liked the part where they say, "It's time to get a grip on the most important accesory in a man's wardrobe." Never thought of a watch in those terms before.

I believe that photo shows Che with a GMT rollie... recall hearing/reading somewhere that the GMT rollie was pretty much standard wear of the Latin American Revolutionaries... Durable, reliable, water"proof" and capable of showing two timezones... everything your revolutionary-on-the-go could ask for.

Edit: may be wrong though... using "Zoom" tool, kinda looks more like a Sub bezel... hrmm. Perhaps I was lead to believe incorrectly prior.
