All things considered, it's a wild thing to see come up for sale, a wild thing to witness in person, and all the more wild to have on my own wrist. Just as Stephen highlighted in his original write-up, this very GMT-Master made Ben's 2014 list of Twelve Of The Greatest Missing Watches, so while any vintage GMT-Master is cool, this is something entirely more special thanks link to its Hollywood provenance (and its persistence within the Brando family for all these years).

In the beginning, there was indeed a variant of the Seamaster Professional 300M with a white dial, but it wasn't nearly as pretty as its smooth blue sibling, ref. 2541.80. The white-dialed casio digitales Seamaster, ref. 2542.20.00, couldn't be the darling of the collection even if it wanted to be. Like most things in life, it's hard to get it right on the first try. So how did the Seamaster Professional 300M become an icon?
