Great story, Meantime! I have a question for you: why a GMT-Master? Are you a pilot or do you travel extensively?

I can't wait to see photos. My first nice watch was a Bulova Accutron Astronaut I bought at a military post exchange in 1965. I agonized between the Accutron and 1675 GMT-Master over which to buy, and was swayed by the guaranteed accuracy of ±2 seconds per day and chose the Accutron (they were priced the same at the PX). I've been kicking myself for the past 59 years.

I still have the Accutron and it still keeps great time, but I rarely wear it.

It's weird being the same age as old people.
