This Watch, That Watch on the Monta Skyquest GMT

Chronograph to time stuff. GMTs for travel and coordinate with teams globally (also why I favor GMTs or watches with jump hour). Divers on beach holidays. So yes.
But the aesthetics help 😉
Accuracy, extremely important — I wear my mechanical watches as dailies and time my life/work by them. 3-day power reserve is a VERY nice to have, but not necessary…especially if you regularly wear just the one watch. For me, COSC is a minimum, Superlative preferred, especially if I’m dropping more than a couple of hundred on a watch.
Having both is a convenience that’s definitely missed once you’ve experienced it (the past month I’ve been rotating between my Luminor and Explorer II and not had to wind or set the watches once, even when I’d leave either sitting for the weekend (granted the Luminor isn’t as accurate as the Explorer II, which is still running at close to 0spd a few weeks in).
The dial is something else in person, changes colors very subtly between petrol green and black — it’s probably one of my favorite green dials (other than the Chopard Alpine Eagle, which is a god-tier dial).
Watch pods are nice, owned the 3-watch version once and it was good, although my Reverso moved around inside of it just a little when closed; my other watches were secure. Hard to beat for the price.
I swear by Banks & Sloane watch rolls, but they only do a 3-watch roll (at least when I purchased a couple two years ago). High-grade Saffiano leather, much better quality than the Mirage or similar Amazon offerings…ships from Australia, only 170 Australian dollars at the time (£90). Similar rolls sell from Everest etc RRP for upwards of £200.
