GMT Geek

I have a number of travel watches which I enjoy wearing. I have a Reverso GMT and a Reverso Duo, as well as a Dualmatic, a Hometime, a Blancpain Timezone, and a Rolex GMT II.

The Reverso GMT gets used a lot as it's functionally pretty good. It's a little thick for wearing with a suit, but for most other purposes can be worn very easily. I have mine on a matt black croc strap with contrasting gray stitching which works really well with the reverse side of the watch.

The Duo is one of the pre-harmonized versions which I think is one of the nicest looking watches anywhere. The only slight downfall is you need a pusher or pen tip to change the hour seting for the reverse dial. It's a great dress watch (it's thinner and smaller than the GMT) that can also be worn with jeans. I just wish they had made it with exactly the same dials in either wg or pt, but they fiddled with perfection...

I would not have either on a bracelet as they both seem classy watches and have no sporty pretentions at all. but each to his own.

They all (with the exception of the Rolex GMT) get worn frequently regardless of whether I'm travelling or not.

Enjoy the hunt!

and although it looks great on black croc, I actually prefer it on bracelet for a couple of reasons: 1. Comfort: Adjustable clasp - if you're traveling to different regions with different temperatures, you're bound to swell and shrink; 2. Longevity: brace...

This will take a couple of tries, but after you "get it," it'll come naturally and you'll actually enjoy the release of pressure when you're swollen. Open the 6 o'clock side of the clasp only. Take your thumb and grab the edge facing you and pull moderate...

Thanks so much
