Pepsi - The Rolex GMT Master

Rolex fans have a way to name their favourite timepieces - and in this case the GMT Master is called the Pepsi.

I guess it is self evident how the name came about. The bezel is two toned, blue and red.

Just in case you ask why the red is more pinkish than red, well my friend who owns this watch had gone to the pool and this is the work of the chlorine. Blue is still blue, but the red...

A close up view of the watch.

Seen here with my Grand Seiko dual time piece the SBGM003.

The GMT Master is truly a utility timepiece. And an iconic one at that.

Solid Gold - Daytona with Black MOP Dial

The Rolex Daytona is a special timepiece - very iconic and even more so if it were gold.

I was traveling this year and met with an owner who loves her Daytona - solid yellow gold and with a very special Black Mother-of-Pearl dial.

The MOP dial is rather special. My first encounter with this combo.

The watch is well worn - and for good reasons too - its such a nice piece.

But I guess it is time for a service and polish.

I wonder how much it will cost to have it restored back to its former glory.
