Re: AVO October 2021. The Year of the Four GMTs
Well I was a little confused when I saw the title of the thread!
I could only think of two, plus a bit of poetic license to up it to three by counting the Glycine as a GMT.
What have I missed? Another colour dial Sealander on route?
Would never have thought of the G-Shock.
Ignoring the G-Shock three interesting and different additions and another opportunity to say how much I really, really like the UN.
Happy travelling - take two, you know it makes sense!

^^^ various raps on knuckles accepted. The title was rather stretching a point, I concede that.

I’ve seen a Bremont I really like. But there’s a problem. Well, about 15,000 of them if I’m being honest.

Re: AVO October 2021. The Year of the Four GMTs
Thanks for sharing that AVO. Some seriously impressive watches. The Ulysses looks fabulous, but there’s something about the clarity and familiarity (I have one too) of the C63 which really stand out.
I must ask, though, what happened to the Nomos?

Re: AVO October 2021. The Year of the Four GMTs
It went in trade as a part exchange for another watch a few years ago. I sometimes wish I hadn’t done it but I’m not going back in that direction.Kansas City Milkman wrote: ↑Fri Oct 22, 2021 9:51 pm I must ask, though, what happened to the Nomos?

I’m seriously thinking of getting an Apple Watch, guess that will make me either bad or ugly.

^ You won’t be the only one (with a smart watch I mean), but it’s just gentle ribbing.
There are many people here who have Rolexes and I also make rude remarks about cyclops lenses… I’m just downright rude aren’t I?

Re: AVO October 2021. The Year of the Four GMTs
Lovely collection AVO. Always enjoy the story you paint through the SOTC posts. Isn’t it interesting how we can expect to have downsizing but then it somehow isn’t the reality that happens.

Re: AVO October 2021. The Year of the Four GMTs
I’ve only just noticed your SOTC, lovely balanced collection. I do like a GMT & WorldTimer and have a few in my collection. I like knowing the time elsewhere, kinda reminds me to look in. For example, I just watched live on my smartphone the remembrance ceremony from the British Embassy in Warsaw.

How brilliant! I’m just off to the village; they close the road and clear the big car park next to the war memorial on Remembrance Sunday.
