And for sure I'm among the first ones getting the new GMT.

They took 4 stabs at it last time to get a needle in, but at least it didn't involve my watch arm.
Visited the intensive care unit in Greece.
A week ago on Tuesday they gave me 50-50 chances but I came on Sunday with an ambulance plane back to Finland and will be released from hospital tomorrow. That was an interesting flight; the doctors decided to fly me at sea level meaning the cabin was pressured to 300 feet. The price of a new Aquanaut chronograph was wasted to this experience.

Partial pressure of oxygen at 300 ft is limit of tolerance
For someone who needs adequate oxygenation of red blood cells, the partial pressure of oxygen reaching the red blood cells at 300 feet altitude must have been at the limit deemed acceptable.
At higher altitude and lower cabin pressure, the partial pressure of oxygen never reaches high enough for adequate oxygenation of the red blood cells for a patient whose respiratory circulatory metabolic systems are compromised.
Down side is the slow aircraft speed, poor fuel economy and reduced range.

Thank you for confirming...
I suspected as much. But it's always nice to have someone who knows what he's talking about to confirm!
May God bless
You with speedy recovery Dr Koi. Looking forward to having you well and back in full speed sharing your passion and collection here.
You should see him!
And for sure I'm among the first ones getting the new GMT.

Oh my word!
Are you OK? I can see you have a drip in as well. I hope you recover quickly.
I had 6 dips at the same time and those explain my arms.
I tried, by using the extension I can somehow keep a Rolex on my right wrist. Great news!
Best, Kari
I hate it when they try to take blood and miss
Perhaps you are a more cooperative patient than I am ... but not if it took 6 needles.
Get well!
