I’m looking at watches with both GMT and a dive bezel

I actually use both complications on my Citizen eco-drive. My GMT hand is set to Berlin where my daughter lives. I use the dive bezel several times a week when I’m cooking. Now I’m considering going us a level to a nice automatic. Around $3k +/-? Here’s the required pics.

Seebattalion GMT. Perhaps not as elegant as I would like at this price.

Longines. I loved this when I saw it, but then I read a review that pointed out the six and nine…

I’m looking at watches with both GMT and a dive bezel

We spent pages on Breguet numerals. How do you feel about Roman numerals?

I would post a picture, but I looked in my box and confirmed that I don’t have any watches with Roman numerals. They’re definitely not to my taste.

Unexpected accuracy

I put on one my Victorinox Infantry Vintage 241397 late last week to wear for a few days. For fun I synchronized it to the second with my laptop. Here we are, five days later, and it’s only slow by a single second. Simply astounding.

And that one is my grandfathers 1963 Hamilton he got for 25 years on the job. What’s the average ratio here? How many gold watches do other collectors have?

One thing that bothers me about coming to this site

I read something. Find it interesting. Then I get up and switch which watch I’m wearing based on what I just read. This happens several times a day now. Just this morning I’ve gone through

Is the SAB065 Cocktail Time a dress watch?

I’ve been watching too many youtube videos…

To me it looks like a dress watch a lot of the time. I have mine on a blue croc leather strap and believe it looks awesome. I wear this watch often when I wear a jacket. In some reckonings it pushes the upper size limit for a true dress watch. It has a date. Some say that complication takes it out of the pure dress watch category (pedants).

When I go to a wedding or something I tend to default to my 1957 Bulova. It’s undoubtedly a…
