Nice pics.

I've been waiting now for just over a month.

I can wait, but it isn't getting any easier.

Stunning watch! The best part about the ceramic bezel is that when the light hits it in a certain way, you can no longer see the transition between black and blue and the subtle gradient looks amazing.

What, this one.



The GMT has always been my go to reference. The white 1675 was my first. Brand new in 1968 that watch has been everywhere with me. Not bad for a $210.00 dollar watch.

The others were added over the years as new references came out.

Such a great watch with an amazing storied history. The favorite of the early astronaut core...and some guy named Chuck Yeager.

I want to say over the years there have been over 30 varients of the GMT from underlines, excalmations, nipple, gold, TT, rootbeer, Omani, radial, and on and on.
