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...

G Shock is legit medical wear, stick with that until you’re ready for a Tudor/Rolex.

Barring that, have a look at Seiko.

commented on Tudor BB58 925. Thoughts after 1 year ·

Interesting that your smallest watch is a 39mm as the world seems to be headed for even smaller watches. For me, I think 39 is a great size.

Not sure my questions really apply to your experience

My first question would have been how much does it tarnish? I’m a fan of bronze so I don’t think it tarnishing would bother me, but I’d be interested what it would look like with daily wear.

Second, I wonder about the strap with daily wear. At the price of something like this (>$2k sports/tool watch) I really like a metal bracelet even if I plan trip wear it on something else. I see why they wouldn’t make a silver bracelet, but I don’t love the idea of the strap wearing out if I wear the watch a lot.

Anyway, it looks great, hope you continue to enjoy it.

Those are small prices to pay for a watch like that. The bragging rights alone…

So this radioactive watch you mentioned, can I get one for less than $2,000?

If there’s a He valve hiding on the other side of that Omega, it’s got to go. Otherwise, I guess the Sinn. Either way, this is one of those “not really a problem” problems, they’re all pretty great.

commented on Looking for a modern DD style beater ·

Exactly what I was thinking.

commented on NWA/PSA: Never go watch shopping after adult beverages ·

Look, if you’re going to start off with such ridiculous advice, you don’t deserve to have your words read.

Also, nice watch.
