Decision made.
Spent two months deciding between the GMT and the Explorer II, in the end I went for the GMT. It's a present for my 40th so have another week before I can get my hands on it, the wait is killing me.

Ha ha. For some reason the photo of the GMT didn't upload! Explorer was too plain.

Ha ha. Got there in the end c.capt. I notice you live in Chicago, probably my favourite place I have visited. Used to do a summer and winter trip every year, amazing place.

Give me a shout if you're ever back here and we can grab a pint! I have some family that lives in London and South Wales.

Congrats! I'd save up and get the Explorer II later on but that's just me.

I have an Explorer II but have to say that that is my favourite style of GMT you have there. Beautiful!
