Are GMTs overrated?
If One of You Doesn’t…

While I get your point, I think what Rolex actually wants to make is whatever will get them the most profit. I’m not a hater, I own a Rolex and would love to own a few more, but I think Rolex is right where they want to be.
My take is that your watch is what we wish Rolex would make. Part of what I love about Tudor is that they’re a lot closer to making what Rolex used to make and charging what Rolex used to charge.
Whatever the case, I think Seiko has made a really good GMT.
Far too expensive. If you want a watch that looks cool and only tells time when you specifically ask for it, the Griffy is pretty great.
I don’t have first hand experience, but I’ve heard that Rolex does similar things. They’ll refuse to service a watch unless you allow them to do all the work they want. Sometimes it’s refinishing a dial or polishing a case.
From their perspective, I think they feel they’re heading off future problems and ensuring the owner has the best possible watch.
Now I think it’s fair to say the owner should get to decide to what degree if any his/her watch gets serviced. Were it me I’d try to get it serviced by someone else. I’m not a fan of them telling me my watch has to be polished or whatever. I think that’s for me to decide.
The questions of how much change is needed for something to need a new name and who decides that still remain.
I get your point, but I don’t see how any changes we make won’t be as or more arbitrary than what we have.
