WWTC?
I have a steel WWTC US76 currently on the correct rubber GP strap which is cut to fit. The rubber straps weren't too pricey when the watch was new.
I would not have bought the wwtc if it had the BMW logo on the dial, Bavarian Blue is enough thanks (I'm a Mercedes man but I wouldn't want a star on it either), I do like the double complication of the WWTC, but the time zone adjuster can dig in your arm and can irritate sometimes.
However I'd forgotten what a cracking looking piece the R&D is and the lusture of the steel case would seal it for me over the ti. just my opinion!.
I have been thinking about ordering a custom Alligator strap to fit the OE Deployant clasp. I'm thinking matt Alligator with white stitching, although it may need some serious padding to balance with the case and look "right" like the oe rubber does.
This or That or All or None ...
For a couple of weeks I'm facing a dilemma that I would like some advise. I have in my possession two GP watches that I need to decide if I keep and what I should keep. Here is the dilemma (all watches are pre-owned but in fair conditions -- full set): 1)...
Go for the WW TC.... It is such a cool watch!
I know only two watches to combinate WT and Chrono: JLC, and GP. A tad chunky, yes, very sporty, yes, but a pleasant and lovely watch. Best, Nicolas
Thank you for the advise ...
I have a strong trend to the but the R&D also "sings" on my wrist. Movement wise, I understand that the two watches are a combination of a base (GP?) plus a DD chrono module. Correct? Cheers, Nilo
Every GP is.......
a keeper but I'm very biased when GP is in question :) If you MUST keep just one go after Best D
Thanks for the advise but ...
The R&D, as of now on my wrist, is SO gorgeous. Notice that I'm ignoring the BMW and Oracle on the internal bezel (I'm an Audi person since I can remember). Of course, just strapped the , is a wonder. Decisions ... Cheers, Nilo
Get both of them! :)
The more I read you, the more I feel you can't let the RD 01 go... Best, Nicolas
Good advise ...
I only need to forget some other acquisition for a later time. Let me think about. Cheers and thank you, Nilo
I would keep the WW.TC
I find the very practical if you need to track international times, plus it just looks so-o-o-o cool. Agree w/ you about the strap issue. A good strap will definitely dress up/down just about any watch. In the end, you have to make the final decision. Bu...
Well ... The decision about the WW.TC is done ...
I go to keep it. I'm wearing it with a black stitchless strap (with four stitches close to the lugs) and is ... Heaven. Now, the drama is what to do with the R&D. Stay tuned. Cheers Nilo

Well, the WW.TC is a done deal
I don't have any problem with tz adjuster. I wear watches close to my hand. About the rubber strap, it is safely put on the package. Our summer is comming and let's see what I do with the rubber. My preferences those days are for thicker stitchless dark s...
Not sure about the BMW logo
The is brushed titanium (LE or not) is one of the best achievements of GP in the past few years IMO. Your R&D 01 is nice but I'm not a fan of the BMW Oracle logo (and I am an Alinghi fan, which does not help :-)). I've just purchased a JLC Amvox2 DBS...
I had the same concern (logo) but ...
The R&D 01 fits so well on my wrist that I believe that I go to ignore those logos. When I saw this watch on the plastic wrap my first reaction was a plain NO but when I put it on my wrist, my reaction changed to WOW! Just spoke with the seller and we...
Decision made and I go to keep ...
All! Gone are some loved ones, but not LOVED! (Funny but an Omega DeVille never stays with me) Now I own a WW:TC and a R&D. A drink to the first one to guess the one I'm wearing now. Cheers and thanks to all that advised. Nilo Note: No, I'm not buying a B...
Paraphrasing the soup guy from Seinfeld ...
No drink for you! I'm wearing the R&D because I was trying a new wrist shot process. But since you won the end of the story ... Have a drink on me. Cheers and thank you my friend for the sound advise, Nilo
Thank you but from now on ...
I am on an acquisition "fasting" for some time. I'm in love with the two watches and yesterday I started capturing some pictures. When I have time (I need to work to pay) I will do some sort of a review. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats Nilo!
I would love to see a photo with all of your chronographs one day. I have a sense of what must be an amazing collection. Congrats again!
Thank you sir ...
But my small number of chronographs cannot be called a collection. I am an obsessive "flipper" and I try to maintain a fixed number of pieces. At this very second, I have nothing on my radar and also nothing on my "stable" that I do not considered as a ma...
