Are GMTs overrated?

For quite some time I’d wanted a GMT. There’s something romantic about the image of jet-setting around with a watch like that. I like to think my best...

Well, I’ve exhausted my meager resources with nothing to show for it. Unless possibly it’s a knockoff of MVMT🤣

Yeah, I’d stick with that invisible strap you’re using now.

commented on Watches and Wonders - An Exciting Disappointment ·

Maybe I’ve been into watches too much for too long, but I never find these things that interesting. It’s cool when they put out a watch in a different color, but I just can’t get fired up over it. Everybody lost their mind when Omega put out a white dial Speedy. It’s a nice watch, but it’s just a different color. Nothing amazing there. I just end up feeling like all the “new” watches are either minor changes to the old watch, or serve no purpose. Like not every watch needs a skeletonized version or a chrono. I just feel like companies are phoning it in expecting everybody to be amazed.

The 24ct gold really ups the weight, but it’s totally worth it.

Unfortunately I have a work obligation. Hope you guys have a good time.

commented on I think there’s something seriously wrong with me. ·

If you’re enjoying a watch you already have, that seems like a good time to not buy other watches. Wait until you feel you really need something else and you’ll probably enjoy it more. Cheers.

commented on Stopped by the Omega boutique … ·

No experience, but I’m with you. This is a great looking watch, and the He valve is terrible.
