The Mario Batali Limited Edition Chronoscope Watch Line
When I think of Food Network Chef Mario Batali, I think "big and orange," which is a lot like the special Ernst Benz Mario Batali watches. I also keep hearing him scream "Parmigiano Reggiano" in my head. Hence the blocks of Parmesan cheese. See, it all goes to together. Haven't watched an episode of Molto Mario in a while to be aware of whether he brandishes the watch during the show, but I do know that Mr. Batali wears?? an Ernst Benz watch (with his namesake on it) about town much of the time. I've known about the orange themed watches for a while, but it wasn't until June when I got to check them out (picture above of me wearing the watch) that I thought much about them. While I don't need a butter laden Italian food themed watch in my life, you can just pretend that it is a good black and orange watch. Suddenly you have like a Halloween theme and the watch is cool again. The watches are pretty nice actually, and they make a good case for themselves being connected with a Charity. B

How Does the GMT solve this Problem??
I'm currently in Afghanistan, which is 11 AND 1/2 timezones ahead of my home, in San Diego. Yes, it is 11 hours AND THIRTY MINUTES ahead of San Diego. It is odd, I know, and I didn't think that a half timezone existed, but apparently it does.Does the Rolex GMT have a way to make up for that difference? Based on my limited time handling 1675s and 16710s, I would say No. I believe that their dual timezone is based on full timezones, and not half/thirty minute timezones.Anyone have any insight for this? Thanks!V/RMike
