His Grandpa Wore This Rolex GMT Master To Work Every Day For YEARS (And It Shows!)

54 minute deep dive into a watch:

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!
