In Response To: omega SMP v. baume et mercier capeland s ()

I've seen the Baume et Mercier and it is a good looking watch as well. I do like the Omega's appearance a bit more however. To confuse the issue even more Blancpain has a GMT which is also very beautiful. It is called the GMT 24 I believe. It is waterproof to 300 meters and easily allows one to know the time in two time zones. Of course the Blancpain has the best reputation of all the three watches here being one of the oldest if not the oldest of all watch companies. It's probably a better watch overall, but then again its cost is more than the other two here. The more you look around the more your learn about the fasinating and beautiful world of timepieces. Someone similar to fine wines.
