    They’re a great manufacturer in general but yeah that is a beauty, I’d not seen it before.

    Think it, be it.

      GMT / dual time is an interesting complication because it exists in 2 completely different variations. There's the "caller" GMT, with a quick adjustment of the secondary time zone, and the "traveller" GMT with a quick adjustment of the main hour hand. The "traveller" style allows one to travel to their destination, quickly adjust the local time, with the secondary time zone keeping track of the home time. For some reason, it's a lot harder to implement. The vast majority of the cheap or mid range GMT watches are of the "caller" type. The vast majority of the "traveller" GMT are thick (Seiko & GS, Ball), expensive (at least 3 variations of Rolex), very clunky (e.g., secondary 12hr time scale with a day/night indicator, etc), or a combination of all this. I've been researching this for a while because I'd like a nice traveller's GMT. I actually have a little spreadsheet where I keep track of the various models because most are not made anymore (like that JLC), and my memory is crap.

        Traveler is by far superior IMO. More of a “don’t make me think “ for the time zone you are actually in. I have a Seiko dive watch with that configuration and I much prefer it.

        Think it, be it.

          I'm right there with you, but I suppose people who are more likely to often call in a given region might prefer the "caller" style. Good for them are those watches are cheaper and more widely available.

            New vintage bond strap from Nick Mankey. Long leadtimes but highly recommend. Was time to replace my modern strap. Garmin with omega face.

                    @Mr-Linz hell of a watch. I really like the dimensions of the Explorer. I tried one on once and was surprised at how nicely a seemingly small 36 mm fit. Has such a smooth flow from the case through to the bracelet.

                    In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                @goosehd @Anesthetist love those watches, guys!

                                same same. Totally tried to avoid the watch store in Barcelona. But I apparently have zero willpower.

                                        @Heavy_blue thanks, man. It’s sized at 45.5, and it’s very tall on the wrist as well. It’s a brutal watch. I looked at others in the shop, and this one was just calling my name. I actually went in asking for the blue version, which they didn’t have, and I had never seen the all black version, and it was game over instantly.
