LET'S TALK ABOUT GMT WATCHES...............i love gmt watches ,i dun know y but i just love watches that r able to tell 2 time zones could be the nature of my occupation
I HAVE REALLY NO NEED FOR THEM ANYMORE SINCE I AM RETIRED BUT IT IS STILL A NICE FEELINGS WRITING,THINKING,APPRECIATING EVERY1 OF THEM............ HONESTLY EVERY PIECE HAVE A STORY BEHIND THEM.......
WELL IN FACT , IF U HAVE THE TIME & IF U BOTHER TO LOOK AROUND & ASK AROUND EVERY1 HAS A STORY TO TELL.............
HERE WE GO !
1 OF MY FAVOURITE GMT IS THE SINN 144 GMT TI ,I CAME TO KNOW THIS BRAND DURING MY ARMY DAYS ! NEEDED SOMETHING THAT CAN GO UP THE HILL & DOWN THE STREAM
IT HAS TO BE MATT FINISHED,SO THAT IT DOES NOT REFLECT LIGHT UNDER THE SUN . AS I WEAR IT IN THE FIELD FOR DAYS,GOOD READILITY AT ALL ANGLES,STOP WATCH FUCTION,TO TIME SOC & IPPT RUNS .THE 2ND TIMEZONE IS A BONUS.
SO THE HUNT BEGINS.........AND I ENDED UP WITH THIS PIECE ! A GREAT WATCH ACTUALLY ! TITANIUM IS GREAT ! AS IT TAKES YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE SO WEARING IT IN COLD PLACES IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL UNLIKE STEEL .
U CAN ACTUALLY HIDE THE ARROW HAND(GMT) WHEN U DUN REQUIRE THE GMT FUCTION ! COOL !
THE ONLY 2 COMPLAINS ARE ,THE SERVICING COST 20% OF THE PRICE OF THE WATCH !
MARKINGS ON THE WATCH IS TRITIUM IF IT IS SUPERLUMINOVA IT WILL BE BETTER !
LUCKILY I GOT IT PRE-OWNED BUT STILL PAINFUL !
AFTER OWNING THIS PIECE , I KIND OF FELT IN LOVE WITH SOME OF THE WELL DESIGN SINN WATCHES.
SO I ENDED UP COLLECTING THE SINN 103 UTC TI, SINN EZM 1(although not a gmt) .SINN EZM 4(non gmt model),SINN 856 SG BK, SINN 857 UTC BLACK & MY LATEEST COLLECTION THE SINN U2 BLACK
OVER THE YEARS SINN WATCHES PRICES HAVE GONE UP ALOT & I STRONGLY FEELS THAT THEIR EARLY MODELS ARE MUCH MORE VALUE FOR MONEY !
I WILL WRITE ABOUT THEM ONE OF THESE DAYS.........................
NEXT COME THE OMEGA SEAMASTER GMT, PERSONALLY I FIND THIS THE BEST LOOKING OMEGA AROUND UNTIL THEY LAUNCHED THE PLANET OCEAN.
BUT THE PRICE OF THE LATER MODELS ARE PRETTY RIDICULOUS !!! AS OMEGA IS TRYING VERY HARD TO REACH THE 6-8K RETAIL MARK
THE SAME CASE I COULD RECALL WAS PANERAI..................A BASIC USED PIECE WAS 3.5K & SUDDENLY IT BECAME 6K AS THE RETAIL PRICE INCREASES.
THE RETAIL PRICE IS ABOUT 5K PLUS & A USED PIECE IS AROUND 2K WHICH MAKES IT A GOOD BUY ! IN TERMS OF VALUE,FUCTION & BRANDING !
I USED TO CALL IT A POOR MAN'S EXPLORER 2 OR GMT MASTER AS IT FUCTION JUST LIKE 1 ! BUT THE WATER RESISTANCE IS A BEEFTY 300M !
I HAPPENS TO LIKE THIS PIECE VERY MUCH TOO !
NEXT COMES THE EXPLORER 2 & THE GMT MASTER AS WE MOVE UP THE FOOD CHAIN.
MUCH WAS WRITTEN ABOUT THIS 2 WATCHES
BUT I LIKE BOTH OF THEM !
MY NEXT COLLECTION IS THE BLANCPAIN GMT & I WILL WRITE ABOUT IT LATER !
