If you can afford the expensive gear then you have no excuse not to have the cheap one as a city backup. A friend who worked in field operations always used gel pens for his work for their reliability but when the moment came to get the service order signed from the customer he would hand them a mont blanc pen. This was an amazing impression because if you are dropping a couple grand on a service that signature is worth that much.

@@MMDAMV You can’t categorize people like that and assume. Luxury and quality things are things you reward yourself for your own personal enjoyment and longevity, specially after you’ve achieved something significant in life. There are people who go to an expensive restaurant to show off and those who want to experience the best made cuisine or nice wine and steak, depending on what you’re into. Usually a man tends to reach that level of being able to afford quality and luxury in later years of their life, and again it’s personal enjoyment. And to prove my point, there is such thing as quiet luxury, for example, no one knows what a Patek 5227 G is, it looks like a Timex, but the personal enjoyment of looking at the finishing, the movement up close, knowing the history, the manufacturing, and the feel of winding the watch is personal, same thing with cars, every one knows what a Ferrari is but not a Pantera, but when you’re shifting gears on the Pantera and feeling the engine that is a personal experience for yourself and not a show off thing.

Explain to me, how do you track 3 time zones with that Rolex with out a static 24h chapter ring? That‘s some bullshit and people keep repeating it. Look at proper GMT watches, e.g. from Grand Seiko or Breitling, if they have a 24h bezel, they also have 24h chapter ring.
@mdmcd6273
Ай бұрын
To read at a glance, not without interfacing with the bezel or knowing the +/- hrs from GMT of your new location or home location. Depending on how you set it when you arrive or your preferences. It's pretty common to leave it set to GMT and reference it, knowing the +/- hours of the location you're trying to tell time in. It requires you to know that though. Not a tough ask, but we have phones and people are willing to rely on them more than themselves these days. To track? As mentioned above, turn bezel +/- # of hours of the GMT offset of wherever you are, or do the simple math. And you have 3 zones. Infact you have all zones if you have that kind of memory. It's not marketed so you can know 3 zones at a glance. It's a "tool watch" by its nature (luxury, albeit) and if you use it as such you'll have your choice of reading time wherever you need it. This is what anyone means when they refer to a Rolex GMT tracking 3 zones. Theres a bit more left for you to do vs a watch with a 2nd 24hr for you to reference.
@mrk131324
Ай бұрын
@@mdmcd6273 If I know the offset and calculate in my head, I can track as many time zones as I want with any watch, that‘s not a feature of the watch. The reason for the GMT Master having a rotating bezel is a different one. The first model was not a real GMT, it just had a second hour 24h hand that was fixed to the 12h hand. So, to set the offset you used the bezel. Later when the GMT complication was introduced they just kept the rotation bezel but it was never designed for 3 time zones.
@mdmcd6273
Ай бұрын
@mrk131324 Yup. Maybe I'll try and explain more clear. You hour hand and and 24 hour hand are set to PST. You land in London, you set the hour hand to BST. You want to know a 3rd location you interface with the bezel. There's 3. Home, London, Anywhere else. If you're trying to make a point that you don't feel a Rolex GMT is not a GMT, I'm not here for that. You asked why do people say you can track 3 zones without a secondary dial. So break it down simpler. You have your dial with two hour hands. Thats two zones. And a bezel that rotates, that's your third. You need to know the offset to set the watch. It's a mechanical watch. Your input from winding and setting it is what allows it to work and work for you. I suspect you may well know this, so then why are you asking how to track 3 zones on a GMT Master II? Just being sarcastic or trying to flex that a Grand Seiko or Breitling to you are better? Haha.
