Excellent. I’ll bet you could get ante bezel for that if you wanted.

Interesting thought @Matt. I haven't worn it for decades. It really needs a happy home.

Just got a great deal on eBay for one of these…

@Matt Sweet! I got to check out their line up at a watch show in Austin last Fall. Very cool stuff!

[Matt]

That’s awesome. I learned about them just before coming back to Baltimore and once I got back I had to have one. I feel very fortunate to have found a gmt.

My GShock has been my work watch for almost ten years now. I may have worn other watches to work, but this one has significantly more wrist time.

[Matt]

This thing is awesome…

Ok, so this watch is GMT and u was very excited to learn how to use the GMT complication. Turns out though that this requires some pretty solid math awareness, which I of course sorely lacking. Is there a GMT for Dummies out there you could point me in the direction of?

I still don’t get it. I’m telling you I have a problem with math.

[Matt]

It’s a really nice watch though.

What exactly do you struggle to understand, Matt?

[Danimal506]

@Matt If that’s the case, stay away from tachymeter bezels and slide rulers

@Matt if your pride can take it you could try asking your girls

or Ava

So time zones and daylight savings also confuse me. My brain just doesn’t get numbers. It never has. I’m a little closer to understanding it. I need to travel with it to really comprehend.

@Matt I think I get it now. It’s a negotiating tool, not a watch!
