Where are you sending it for the PVD treatment? Ha! I absolutely love my GMT. I was afraid that I was never going to wear it, compared to my sub but I actually like GMT’s better than Subs now. More complicated movement and the symmetry on the bezel eases my OCD. Love the coke bezel, someday I’m going to pick up a pepsi. ---

@bing, No problem at all. @Beck, The GMT movement really isn’t more complicated than the Sub movement. Just a different hour wheel, minute pinion, cannon pinion and second wheel. ---
