• ▶ 1:46:44 Ben Gilbert He's wearing, I think it's a Rolex GMT and a Submariner on the same wrist.
• ▶ 1:56:27 David Rosenthal It's the Submariner, it's the Explorer, it's the GMT Master, it's the Daytona, the modern sport watches.
• ▶ 1:59:36 David Rosenthal This is the Explorer, the Turnagraph, the Submariner, the Milgauss, and the GMT Master.
• ▶ 2:01:28 David Rosenthal Well, it looks like the GMT Master.
• ▶ 2:17:19 David Rosenthal That brings us to the GMT Master, the Greenwich Mean Time Master.
• ▶ 2:19:14 David Rosenthal and then they add in a fourth hand on the movement that moves at a 24 hour movement, and so all of a sudden, you can now, on one single watch face, keep track of two different time zones, and the GMT Master is born.
• ▶ 2:21:38 David Rosenthal So Jack, and I think maybe some of the other astronauts too, preferred GMT masters and wore their GMT masters during the Apollo missions.
• ▶ 2:22:16 David Rosenthal Now, I'm sure this is Rolex's version of history, but supposedly NASA reached out to Rolex first because they knew that test pilots preferred GMT Masters, but there was a mix-up in Rolex's New York purchasing office that led to this mishap…
• ▶ 2:42:09 Ben Gilbert Picture of the Concorde, going supersonic, picture of the GMT Master.
• ▶ 2:44:21 David Rosenthal Goodbye a Submariner, you could buy an Explorer, you could buy a GMT Master, you could buy a Datejust.
• ▶ 4:00:46 David Rosenthal You walk into a Tudor authorized dealer, you go on the website, and you're like, wow, that sure looks like a GMT master, and that looks like an Explorer, and that looks like a Submariner.
• ▶ 4:01:32 David Rosenthal They can ramp up production of the Tudor quote-unquote Submariner or GMT Master or Explorer or whatever with third-party movements, and that's okay.
• ▶ 4:36:06 Ben Gilbert The GMT Master II, basically a GMT Master exactly.
