I travel quite a bit for work, but I’ve never had an issue calculating a time zone difference in my head, so it’s not like I need the gmt function by any means. It’s really all aesthetically driven and these pieces sing to me in their own way.

And yes, that’s my worry…about being able to pull off the DD. I’m not sure I can!

I guess there’s only one way to find out?

I have both a BLNR on jubilee and YG DD 40mm (Champagne Roman dial). I rarely wear the DD because I do feel it is a bit flashy for me. It has always been my grail watch, but definitely does draw attention. For that reason, I am contemplating selling it. The BLNR is one of my dailies.
