Horological Meandering

I travel more and more which is not good for my carbon footprint but it is another subject. last year almost 120000kms done by plane and. I would like to find a nice GMT. I'm giving up on the idea of ​​having a Pepsi. What do the other manufactures have t...  

But I could be wrong.

...  

But thank you I do appreciate those Nomos. Last days I was thinking about buying one and asking to customized the city with my home town

I assume it’s a sort of limited edition but it’d a clever idea. In créole my home town is Lapwent I’d love to have that on my dial.

Works well for me - I have it on leather but can easily be switched to a bracelet. But not as versatile as the GMT Master 2! ...  

But I really like this Reverso Grande GMT.

I was lucky to find a Purist who was willing to let his go (thank you!). Shall keep an eye out for you.

No message body

I have often thought about the JLC Geographique. Would be nice if it came on some sort of a tropical strap. ...  

I have the bracelet version. It fits well.

I suppose straps fit the wrist better than bracelets, unless one has a huge wrist ...  

I have a feeling that a bracelet for the 17 06 (non-Monolith) will appear this year. Or else the 17.03 is not hard to find, used, and the bracelet for the 03 is still on sale on the Ming website. ...  

If I really needed a GMT, I'd look for one that's nice to use like a UN for example or a straightforward Reverso Duo (which unfortunately doesn't have a rubber or bracelet option). But if it's just a simple home time affair and taking into account your cr... 

Grand Seiko GMT - available in several dial and case styles on bracelet or strap. Obscure but nifty — Ikepod by Marc Newsome who styled the Apple Watch. Separately adjustable hours and minutes using only the crown on both main dial and subdial at 12 plus ...  

Given your criteria sounds like a new strap/bracelet for the JLC or just track down a Rolex GMT is the way to go in that size range. If I had to get a travel watch now a 42mm Explorer would be top of my list because I like the bigger everything (except he...  

Barely any water resistance, no lume, but 40mm and beautiful. My travel watch is a Blancpain 500 Fathoms GMT (pics a few posts down) which his all my criteria but it's yuge - 48mm and tall but so effective and beautiful so you have something to admire whi... 

They have quite a few GMT watches in their portfolio and are,from a quality point of view,at least on the same level as Rolex.

So hunt for one and you not gonna regret it ! Best of luck, Zsolt.

I have a very good relationship with my AD, meaning I get most models that I want, and I still had to wait for my Pepsi quite a lot, but that’s what makes it special. Also patience is a virtue.

And I think Rolex is the pinnacle of that. I wasn’t worried a couple of years back, now in Paris I prefer my JLC. I was at my barber a couple of weeks ago and a young teenager maybe 15 years old asked me if my submariner was a true or not. I asked him whe... 

A couple of years ago when I was in to high horology, I was asked at the supermarket by a group of kids(similar age) if what I wore was a Saltarello! And there’s only 200 made, same goes for my Dato, when I wore it on the subway, and so on... I passed tha... 

I’ve had this exact model since it was first released in 2008. It works perfectly with a suit and on weekend camping trips. I regularly use the 24 hour bezel to time conference calls around the world. This watch didn’t miss a beat after a 4’ drop on a til... 

It is 48mm though, so not small but high visibility, bright lume, big crown, tough movement, perfect when still half asleep coming off a red-eye and ready to go anywhere. ...  

...but they tend to be on the thicker side, unfortunately. But if you're prepared to consider quartz, the ones based on the 9F movement are fantastic. Otherwise, I'd get a Rolex Explorer II 16570 in very good condition. It's been my go-to GMT watch for th...
