My 1978 GMT-Master Ref. 1675 has been my daily wearer for 35 years. In '98 I had Rolex replace the original Jubilee bracelet with an Oyster fliplock while it was in New York for service.

I nearly bought one in 1966 at the Johnston Island PX, but opted for a Bulova Accutron Astronaut 214 at the same price. I still have the Astronaut, but it's been in a drawer since I got the Rolex.
