Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time around it's an awesome Rolex GMT Master from the late 1960's! The owner of this watch inherited it from his grandfather who wore this watch every day for years, and you can tell! The case and bracelet were in dire need of a cleaning, and the movement wasn't running up to spec. But a watch this great deserves to be worn, and Marshall sets his sites on getting it back in tip top shape and on its owner's wrist!

This is the video that got my attention! I also inherited a GMT Master from my grandfather, which he purchased during his second tour in Vietnam. He was squadron commander of AH-1 Cobra gunships and need a sturdy watch. He wore this watch almost every day after, until his passing in '12. He always told me it would one day be mine. It's a fascinating watch and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what the movement looks like inside. Mine's certainly in need of a service, so it was neat to see what all is involved.
