The Batman would have matched better

Ahh if I only had the GMT Batman it would have matched the scenery here in Santorini, Greece. lol

Oh well the all black will have to do. This watch has been with me all over the world. The GMT function is perfect.

This is Hilarious. I can understand mistaking what city or Island you are on but Country?
Hope you are enjoying Santorini!

LOL, too much drinking and eating. Just came in from Positano, Italy :-)

We went all over Italy for the last 2 weeks. Since I'm from the US you have to see as much as possible before the long ride home :-)

The Batman would have been perfect for this place !!!

Santorini.......how are the crowds nowadays?

The problem with all the tourist 'must see' hotpots, is that they are all so unbelievably busy. Especially cruise ship destinations.

Having re-visited Venice, Lisbon, and Capri recently, I couldn't believe the increase in tourist numbers over previous years. You can't see the place for what it's supposed to be, it's just masses of people. The whole world are tourists (and not blaming anyone, as I'm part of that problem).

Decided to try and stay more 'off the beaten track' going forward. Was booked for a holiday in Capri, but just switched to Ischia.

Sorry....off topic whinge.

Hey, compared with the size of USA or Australia or Canada, Greece and Italy are practically the same country.

Beautiful X 2 ... watch & Santorini


I hope you’re having a great trip! So many posts lately about, “I’m traveling to ___, is it safe to wear my Rolex?” I’m glad to see you enjoying your GMT the way it was intended!

Hey I’ve got a Batman, will you take me next time? That place is stunning

thanks! it’s rubberb, in case you were curious. I’ve long since flipped that ln for a blro so don’t have the particular watch anymore but a gmt on rubber strap is always a travel go-to.

All jokes aside, it's good to see you have your GMT set to PST. At least you won't forget what time it is at home no matter what mysterious city you're in.

I'm surprised that it's that high of a percentage.

this is both a very sad fact and also a very strange direction to take this thread.
