Thanks again all for your opinions.

I'm a big fan of these two, but also looking at some other options as well. As my collection in the short-medium term will be small, considering whether a leather strap dress (or indeed some other bracelet) watch would be more appropriate. As nice as these two are, they are instantly recognizable and I'm not sure this would be so smart for my workplace (as a relatively young foreigner in a Japanese office).

Waiting to see what SIHH (and possibly Basel) throws up! Will keep you updated!

Their modern iterations, the 116710, and the 14060 M are two dign sons of these iconic watches, with an almost 60 years of History. I would go for the 116710, because I am a sucker for these GMTs which therefore offer a friendly complication. The 116710, ...

Now that is what I can sound advice.

traveller who needs different time zones. Happy purchasing soon. The 14060M construction is less solid compared to GMT II but then again, it gives you that classic and vintage feel with no solid end links, with lug holes, simple folding clasp. You will li...

GMT or Sub ?

A difficult question if you have to choose between the two ! I had similar dilemma two years back and finally bought the GMT. It has the look of a Sub along with utility of date as well as time zones. Hope this helps !
