Not popular here, but really reliable
A watch I got some years back to reward myself and back in a time where I would be sitting on crane tracks in ceilings of factories installing and splicing fiber optic cables....this was extremely reliable and suited for that sort of work.

Your friends are lucky to have you in their lives :-)
One thing I know is that it's a happy thing to see a watch we have being loved much more in a way it deserves.
Breitling makes solid watches. This Colt GMT is nice looking.
Modern and strong appearance. How is the GMT functions like? Adjustable bidirectional in hourly fashion I supposed. I have an early Colt, 38mm still functions well but quite worn by me. One more thing about Breitling they make excellent anti reflection co...
