Diver GMT / Chrono
Good evening everyone,
I have finally decided to get a sports watch, having to leave my PP and vintage circa 1972 Omega behind (Omega's seal is gone, no replacement available). The Diver is the one, but I cannot make my mind up between the 2 complications. My heart says the GMT, my mind the Chrono. Of course it would help if I could (a)see the mechanism and (b)get them side by side.
Could people give their opinion in the end, it is my call of course, but it is always nice to savor comments from knowledgeable people. I have 2 days to decide by the way, then I take the plunge (pun intended)!
Sincerely,
JAG

I would go w/ the GMT
Personally I would go with the GMT but as others have mentioned get what speaks to YOU. Regards, Chris
Additional thoughts
1 word before I get into details, I have not been able to put the watches together and judge them side by side, otherwise, I would be able to make a decision on the spot. Good to hear everyone's opinion! Clearly I would always prefer the Chrono complicati...
Hi, Jag
The rubber strap is, at least for me, the best for this watch is your wrist is not that big. As you will be able to esiar set the size of the strap. I tried the 2 others, Let us know what you finally decided! Best. nicolas
Decision
Well Chrono it is, although I find the GMT has a much more balanced and elegant layout, with the simple caoutchouc bracelet, my wrist not being big. Will post photos this month I hope, looking forward to it!
