Horological Meandering

You have choices

Ulysse Nardin big date GMT is the simplest, but most versatile in my opinion: there are endless variations of it and 100m water resistance makes it suitable for swimming. It is hard to beat perpetual/gmt combination though. My only complain about the reverso is that the date is on the home time side, so if you need to see a date, you will have to flip the watch. If you can skip the date, Duometre unique travel time will be amazing choice. Another option would be GO Cosmopolite. It is quite large though (larger than Duometre) and the date change is done via the corrector.

Hi, I am a relatively new member (and of course a newbie in this arena) and made only few posts so far. This is a great site and have met many great people at the recent gathering in NY. Thank you, Bill and Z3 for great photo + report ! Now, I am getting ...

I've just bought this VC Evasion World Time, and found what I presume to be one photograph taken by your good self some years go. Do you happen to have any more for private perusal and entertainment? I hope you can help, Good Sir! ...

Thanks for all of your valuable inputs. I realize that I MAY be too picky... I agree that GP is a good one - but is too big... UN seems fine - but too busy? I will think it over... About the date or no-date -- when you travel overseas, "date" on the watch...

I have a Patek Travel-time in Platinum (5134P)

By: johnsinger56 : February 13th, 2008-20:34

and I love it. It is simple, has a 37mm case and is very practical. I prefer gmt watches over world-timers as I find the dials on world-timers to be way too busy. Patek also has the watch in white gold if money is a concern. It is my favorite watch and I ...

Nice watch you have there!

By: KIH : February 14th, 2008-05:27

Hi John, Thanks. agree that it is simple and the "right" size for me. I don't know much about PP, but it seems that this model is one of the "less" discussed ones. I wonder why. Money is always a concern , but I prefer the dial of the Pt model. Don't you ...

Hi, yes I miss having the date, but my eyesight is so bad I cannot see

Ken, I was thinking of the Master Geographique JLC

By: amanico : February 13th, 2008-23:28

The old model, in 38mm, I believe, I have to check the size, but this JLC is one of these watches that made me dream a long time. This is not a so difficult watch to use, when you travel. I think that you may try one. You have a winner with this JLC. Best...

I may search in the second hand market

The JLC Grande Reverso GMT....

By: tempusfugit : February 14th, 2008-14:17

has all that you want. It is available in steel (to keep the price reasonable) as well. If the Grande Reverso is too large, there was a limited edition in the smaller case size which does become available from time to time on the secondary market (it may ...

Thanks !

Wow. I didn't know this model. Interesting. Yes, it may be a bit big and I may not like rectangular watches, but never really thought about it. I may convert easily. With other wonderful suggestions, I will play with the idea and enjoy pondering. Thank yo...
