Welcome back, and I'm looking forward to a tour of your collection - one notable exception aside, you're in my sweet spot for watches, so I'm trying to learn about as many as I can and what people do and don't like.

So, functionally, all three do the job of giving you two time zone tracking. Functionally, any of them.

Aesthetically, those are three VERY different looks. What I don't know is the kind of travel/lifestyle/brand/image you're trying to hit, to know which of these three will fit;

• The murdered-out Bulgari is the most casual of the three, feeling a little trendier or modern/hip. Great with jeans and business casual, not sure I'd put it with a tux. Great if you're hiking into the great unknown or something more rugged, less so for bubbles by the bay.
• The JLC is the opposite end of the spectrum; refined and dressiest, isn't too old to hang with the business casual crowd, but not something I'd wear on a cycling trip.
• The GS sits between the two, can dress up and (mostly) dress down, has some of the refined elegance in the case and hands but more of the adventure feel in the minute track and busy-ness of the dial.

So, really, to answer this question, we need you do do a whole GQ fashion and outfit pictorial. ;)

That's brought up some interesting connections;

• I have a Moonwatch on my left wrist. Yes, I've been fascinated (if not always fanatic) about space exploration.
• I have an Apple Watch on my right wrist. Ever since Dick Tracy (the Warren Beatty/Madonna movie, I'm not THAT old), I've wanted to interact with tech, data and people on my watch.
  
  So yeah. I wear two watches (or one watch and one activity tracker & notification device). And they're hitting on all those childhood dreams.

Lots have been said, so beyond saying that I'll add my voice to so many great comments, I won't repeat them (much).

I would LOVE to know about the watches in your collection. There are SO MANY great options in the $1k-and-under world that it's hard to keep up. That's my perfect world. Yes, I know I said that and debuted here with a Speedmaster on my wrist. That was kind of a crazy one-off thing. I also have a Christopher Ward C63 - about $800 - that I absolutely love, and everything else is well south of that.

I get the feeling of sitting there and reading article after article about luxury watches and high horology, and feeling like it's out of reach. It has been out of reach for me for a long time. But what is MUCH MORE exciting for me to read is about people's own collections, what they have, and what they love about what they have. Happiness and enthusiasm is way more exciting than prestige or a "flex".

So, what's in YOUR watch case, hm?

I mean, yes; I should be able to keep a steady pace of eating 375 Girl Scout cookies per hour, which I didn't know before I got my Speedmaster. #thinmints

I suspect this has already been said but I only have a few minutes to type.

For real accuracy, go atomic, then quartz/digital, then everything else.

For mechanical, part of the wonder is that humanity has produced such a tiny, intricate set of machinery that is capable of keeping time at all. It's the law of diminishing returns, that the little extra bit of accuracy costs so much more.

I have a Christopher Ward C63 Automatic that typically runs +9 or +10 spd. As of this weekend, I now own an Omega Speedmaster that is somewhere around +3 or +4 as we get to know each other. Love them both.

When you consider this is purely mechanical, two springs and a bunch of gears and some synthetic jewels, and that in one day - 86,400 seconds - my watch might count 86,403 or 86,409? Either is pretty damn impressive.

I don’t own it, but I looked at one at a boutique the other day. It’s stunning. Am I right that the central disc rotates for the time offset and the second time? (There isn’t a GMT “hand” but the time zone disc instead?)

The detail and feel of the watch is superb. Congratulations on it!
