  • When Hans Wilsdorf first set out to build a watch company in 1905, he set himself a goal: to make the world's best watch. Early Rolex promotional material boasted the number of ways Wilsdorf's watches were tested in, the amount of accuracy records they'd beaten, their waterproof, dust proof and anti-magnetic capabilities-anything and everything. Of the GMT-Master, Rolex promotional material declares, 'If you were flying the Concorde tomorrow, you'd wear a Rolex.' With both supersonic passenger jets and mechanical wristwatches obsolete, can the modern GMT-Master collection still live up to Wilsdorf's goal of being the best?

      Sandman hard to expect the bracelet to also be mint. When I got my 5513 I immediately sourced a newer 93150 bracelet for it and left the original on the side. More comfortable, less clinky and more reliable. Keeps the original as it is.

    Just simply a brilliant watch. Have owned model variations since the early 1970's. Don't fly as much as I used to but still a valued piece of daily gear. Quite odd, when not on my wrist, I feel naked and my arm is like a wet noodle, just flapping about. Silly to say the least. Although I have embraced digital and glass cockpits for quite some time now, at heart, just an old analog guy.
