Which one to take on my trip to China ?

Ok so I am off for a week to china on work and am debating which one should I wear ? The GMT 16700 old faithful .... or the new love Sky D SS blue!

With the GMT I can track home time easily because of the 1/2 hour problem that we have in india we are 2.5 hrs behind China can do this by adjusting the bezel

With the Sky D I will have to mentally add 1/2 an hour or use my phone to track home time ... but it looks absolutely sexy on the wrist 😄

So go with practicality or style?

I would take the SkyD as it's a new watch and needs some travel time

If you take one, then the GMT.

If you bring both then make sure you keep the unworn one in a safe deposit box in the hotel and not leave it lying around in the room.

I think I would go GMT as well, since it addresses the 2.5 hour problem. You can give the Sky some extra love when you get home.

I guess it depends which part of China you are visiting.

Sky D. It's just too nice to leave at home!!

Besides, who cares what time it is at home when you're away!
