commented on What is the fascination with GMT watches?? Is there another purpose of knowing the time elsewhere? Will it ever go away? ·

I have a couple of GMTs and use them when I travel. I also have a Citizen Worldtimer which is so hideously complex that I need the manual every time I use it. Straightforward travel GMT is better if you travel.

I worked (in the UK) for a company based in New Zealand and considered a desk GMT. Unfortunatly the time difference between London and Auckland was 13 hrs and 40 years so it wouldn't have been much use.😀

I've exchanged several emails with them this morning, so maybe someone has investigated and fixed the problem. Too late for them unfortunatly, I've just pulled the trigger at another jewellers website and even found a 10% discount code into the bargain.

You putting the new little one on a list for a Daytona? Make a nice 18th birthday present. Better than a bottle of port.

I get that, but was just wondering what is the purpose of a second hand complication in a non-hacking watch.

Not sure I understand, time and the second hand are moving at the same speed.

I vaccilate incredibly, but I don't mind. I enjoy all the research; reviews videos, here, etc, that are involved in selecting my next piece. In fact, I sometimes think I enjoy that more than the actual aquiring of the watch
