The GMT LN is a great reference. Sometimes you have to walk on the wild side and wear the watch you bought! Enjoy.

I got something similar tucked back in the safe. Congratulations on bringing it out into the light!

After all that I just let it sit in the safe wondering what I would do with it. I had thought about waiting till my son was older and giving him a NOS "birth year" watch. Then I had thought I would just keep it in the safe and eventually wear it, just wasn't sure when. Then, like i said in my OP, I have been thinking about it a lot the last few weeks/months and finally just decided to pull it out and start wearing it.

No real reason why I kept it in the safe and no real reason why I chose today to peel the stickers and start wearing it. I guess this hobby makes you do funny things sometimes
Fair enough. It’s super that you’re enjoying it now.

Absolutely. I love the green accents on the dial

Luckily I had other watches to keep me occupied. I knew one day I'd wear this one. Glad I finally decided to do it

Oh damn!! Stickers off and everything!!! Where it in good health. Life is too short to leave the things we desire and enjoy locked away somewhere.

Call me crazy, but I still prefer the classic LN over any other currently available SS Ceramic GMT offering.
