Rolex Saved Actor Owen Wilson's Life

Yes TJ, I have this Big Date GMT 42 as well. Too lazy to shoot it yet as I have to clean it up a lot and will require alot of clone stamping in PS to make it look brand new like I like my shoots to look.

This is my travel watch and the coolest GMT complication ever. Many people just don't realize how innovative UN is. This patented complication has two pushers on the left of the case. The window on the left is always set to home time expressed in 24hr time. Then when you travel you push the top to advance the hours and the bottom to subtract depending on which direction you are going. The hour hand jumps one hour with each click. But here is the kicker: The date will advance simultaneously when appropriate but also will advance backwards as well. You never have to adjust the date in either direction. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

So as an example, imagine you flew west and landed at 5AM in a time zone that was 6 hours behind. Six clicks of the minus pusher and when you go past midnight the date rolls backwards one day. It is just the coolest and easiest GMT complication ever. Not to mention the coolness of the big date as well and how that complicates the process seamlessly. No bezels to turn that get bumped and change, etc. I really love this watch and can't really imagine ever having a cooler or simpler GMT. I am going to get the bracelet for it too for added versatility. The movement is just awesome and it of course has the legendary UN fit and finsh which is tough to rival... :1a:

What a watch! I may need some time alone with some Kleenex...... :animal_rooster:

If Owen had that watch - I doubt he'd have been depressed to begin with :p

Yeah it really is a cool looking piece and a great complication. Simple and elegant. I really enjoy it especially for travel:thumbsupsmileyanim: And just FYI, look what versatility having the bracelet/strap option gives it. I am going to get a spare bracelet for mine. It is also different in that it is all polished which believe it or not is less blingy than brushed/polished combos which use contrast to set off the bling. Anyway, nice to have something different when you already have all brushed and brushed/polished bracelets covered.

Also, I have the sliver dial camp covered well in my collection, but I think the silver/blue combo is nice as well for anyone who would need something with a lighter look...

It's interesting to see the differences those options make. I have to admit, I think I prefer the black on leather option best :) From a designer's perspective, there are a few revisions I'd make to the design and layout, but it's till a really nice watch, and, as mentioned, a really interesting twist on the GMT complication :)

................. aint no one here that can cut through a steel bracelet with a razor blade! B)

I think 'redbigjoe69' did that one time. One time.

So if he'd been wearing a Patek we could have been spared many years of cinematic misery?

Remember that grainy 'nightvision' porn film with Paris Hilton? The dude was Jetmid. Wearing his Patek. If you don't belive me Google the mpeg and watch it. It's an underrated piece of cinematography. I went through all the emotions; laughing, laughing really hard, laughing until I pee'd myself. Like the first time I reviewed 'Eraserhead'. Great, great, stuff.
