GMT and dealer ref.

In Response To: which GMT is a better choice? ()

See dealer suggestion in your email!

I have the GMT with black face and love it. It is also very strap-versatile. IMO, the "Bond" is not a real GMT because you need to unscrew the crown to set another timezone...that defeats the purpose of a GMT. A GMT can be used to measure smaller amount of elapsed time also. Just put the triangle marker at the minute hand and remember that it is only being used to mark the starting time. With practice, you will find that a "real" GMT (one with 24h hand and 24h bezel) is FAR more useful than "Bond" style GMT or a standard dive watch. As for the now-discontinued white GMT, I think it is a great watch. The face is just...well...too "white" for me.

My 2 cents worth...
