As a corporate banking chap, I would advise you not to do that

This isn't on you list. But I'm attaching a pic because, well...I have a pic.
Gold feels so nice to put on. |

tough decisions there Craig, don't do it for me, do it for Hans. Carl has just turned up the peer pressure!

Sam - it's past midnight. Put on your popsicle pajamas and get some sleep. And, no, you can't bring your DS or your iPod to bed with you. And turn that light out! Now!!! |

The YG GMT IIC is so magnificent that in spite of you having the SS model already, i still want to recommend it. But if you must have something else, i'd say the DD. Maybe you can flip your SS GMT for a sub and get the YG GMT.
If i were in your shoes (i'm a one-watch guy: famous last words) i'd just flip the SS GMT for the YG and just wear it everywhere, everyday |

I'm a yellow gold fan. Here's a pic of my newest addition, an 18238 in YG. Feels real nice on the wrist. :)
Good luck in your search. |

I think Dino has infected half the forum with gold fever! Ever since he went on his Quest for the Holy Grail, I have had GOLD on the brain and I cannot get the 116718 out of my mind!
I am starting to get the strange feeling that the checking account will take a fairly large hit in the near future.

Thanks for your responses and brilliant pictures all
But I have to say it isn't easier to decide now than in was before starting this thread. I fell like I have to get them all Any thoughts about the usefullness of the complications of the GMT vs Daytona vs DD? (I use the bessel of my GMT to time cooking and the 24 hour hand when traveling. Although the Day complication of the DD looks nice, is it really used or just the date? Is the stopwatch function of the Daytona used much or is it to much hassle to unscrew the pushers?)
