I stopped by Wanna Buy A Watch? on Melrose and they had this gold GMT-Master with a black leather strap matched to its black dial. I knew instantly that this was the watch for me. "That's it," I said. "Done." I was hoping that it might be from my birth year – it wasn't – but I sprang for it anyway. It came on a strap, not a gold bracelet like
link it is now, so it wasn't as expensive as it could have been. A lot of people get a Rolex to mark a moment, and this was mine.
