Rolex Yacht Master


Most of my traveling was done with a Rolex GMT Master, and latterly a Seiko divers watch. After the Pacific islands I bought a platinum Rolex Yacht Master. 

I hasten to add that is not my arm, and its not my photo.  I have much younger looking arms. 

And for comparison, a Rolex GMT Master.  They almost look old fashioned these days.....


And this is my old gold rolex:



although Rolex these days suffer slightly from the "Yuppy" tag, the advances made by Rolex made the wristwatch wearable. They really are the founders of modern watches:

1926: rolex Oyster, the worlds first waterproof watch.
1931: Worlds first self winding watch.
1945: Worlds first watch with a date display
