Nice! @Anesthetist Although my initial reaction on seeing the top photo was, "Don't knock it off the edge!"

Off that rock is a fall of a hundred feet or more and it is really windy up there. I'm not going to lie, I held onto it until the last second and snatched it the moment the pic was done[emoji23]

If it'd of gone, I can't imagine the amount of 'oh shit' and 'in shit' you would be in.

Anyone see this? The Engineered Garments x Beams Boy x Timex camper looks a little funky but I think it's cool. Definitely not something that typically pops up in this thread!
They sold out in less than an hour at Nepenthes New York but I got the last one [emoji2]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So is it 1:51 or 10:09 in that shot?

That California dial Radiomir is one of my grails!

Nice Daytona @tigerpac Hope you're not regretting the timing of your purchase? (no pun intended)
I bought this 16750 a couple of months ago, shortly before going overseas for an extended period of work. I wasn't able to have it delivered before I left and won't receive it until I get back home in another few weeks. The wait has been absolutely killing me!

This isn't directed at anyone, I'm just confused by the widespread adoption of GMTs
How often to people really need to keep track of two/three time zones? Or is there an allure of the GMT complication I don't understand?
I have chronographs and diving bezels, but I do need to track elapsed time during meetings/cooking, and I imagine others use theirs the same way.

@tmg:
^ that's a beauty, the 16750 has been on my list for a long time too, maybe next year [emoji3]
Personally I think they really suit the jubilee bracelet too
Thanks. I can't wait to finally pick it up in a couple of weeks time. Not a huge fan of the jubilee as it reminds too much of 1980's stock brokers and car salesman.

The 16750 predates the independent GMT hand so it really only allows you to monitor two time zones, not three like the later versions. I travel quite frequently for work so the GMT hand is useful in that respect but, to be honest, most of the time I could just as easily subtract/add the necessary hours to figure out what time it is in a second timezone. The appeal of the GMT for me is primarily an aesthetic one. I love me some two-tone bezel.
On a related point, I'm in a shrinking minority in as much as I don't own a mobile phone so I probably use my wristwatch more than the average guy on the street.

Literally 3 timezones every day. Probably could do cheaper on an Apple Watch, but not interested in them @ all. Would rather go down the Rolly path. It's a pain in the ass currently. Especially after the timezones move (do you know daylight savings moves on 3 different weeks for Europe, American, and Australia?). Keep tracking of who moved to what and when. Takes months to get used to 1am now = 6pm, instead of 0000 = 7pm.
