Very nice! Where did you get the NATO strap on the Hamilton?

The Nivada Grenchen 3-6-9 Super Antarctic 38mm is a great alternative.

I love them both. They are extremely versatile.

I have owned the Tudor / Pepsi GMT over two years. It's probably my favorite watch. Ideally, it would be 39mm. However, it still looks and feels great, even on my 6.7 inch wrist. My favorite feature of the watch is its legibility. As a pilot, we use GMT time for many things on a daily basis. This is the easiest watch to read, even when the hands are all stacked up. No other watch comes close in that regard, even the Tudor BB GMT Pro. Don't even think about wearing it without the bracelet. The pictures online look great with leather and NATO. However, it needs the bracelet to help balance the weight.

Wow.. I just had one made for my nephew in April. They put his name on the dial of a panda chronograph and it came out first class. I have $4000 watches that don't look that good. It was the forth custom I had done over the last few years. That was the best value in watches. Honestly, I can't believe they did it for the small fee of $25. They should make the fee $100 and bring the option back. This is sad news.

It appears that we suffer from a similar condition.

My plan was to buy no watches this year and scale back until the end of 2023. In 2024 I would start a 2-out 1-in reduction policy until I could fit inside a 12 slot box at some point in the next millennium. That number would not count watches in a winder or Timex Iron-Man beaters. It was a good plan.

Then the Clive Cussler Doxa was released. Then the Doxa AD made me a deal if I bought an additional yellow dial Sub-200. Then a week later I came across a Black Bay Pro and found out it's not too thick and actually looks great. So the right answer is always 1 or 2 or 3 more having vague plans to sell-off at some point.

A trip to Watches and Wonders / NYC / October isn't a healthy plan. However, it's likely to happen anyway. If we were normal, there wouldn't be a WatchCrunch.
