What would make your almost-perfect watch truly perfect?
I have a fairly small collection of watches I love. Sometimes I wonder to myself, "if I could keep only one, which would it be?" Without hesitation, m...
It has taken me awhile to learn to use my gut and not my head. My head kept saying, "it's too big, too thick, doesn't have a 'fancy' modern movement," etc. But the gut was constantly saying, "it's goshdang perfect. I want that."
I have had many good experiences buying and selling on r/WatchExchange on Reddit. I took it slowly and started with small transactions until I got more comfortable and built up plenty of feedback. Now it's my go to place for buying/selling/trading watches
Agreed on the hands. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of this handset either, but the design tends to be secondary on the wrist in a way snowflake hands just aren't for me.

I think some people train themselves to read 24-hour time on against a dial without reference numerals. Some can quickly glance at the hand's position and go, "almost 19:00" the way most do the same with a 12 hour hand.
If that's not how you work, the premium options open up more since a rotating bezel will do what you need.
You're right about GS. It's a shame their more compact GMT's have fixed bezels. It's the biggest complaint I have about what used to be my favorite watch.

Unless you like to read the 24-hour hand based on dial position (like we naturally do with the 12 hour hand), I find a rotating 24-hour bezel gives you the "caller" functionality with less fuss
