I’m very much in a minority I know…

I do like some of the colored models - but too much of it is a turn off for me - personally. So, the sub LV and GMTs work for me. YMMV of course

I would imagine these days, people would seek readily available alternative solutions in technology instead. Plus I would suggest the percentage of watch wearers who actually need those functions is relatively small overall.

Which brings it back down to aesthetics.

Well, perhaps I'm just stuck in my ways. I've been a licensed ham radio operator since 1955 and a certificated airplane pilot since 1964. All of my radio transmissions are logged in UTC and all of my flight planning is done in UTC. I retired twenty years ago from Visa International (now Visa. Inc.) and had regular video teleconferences with colleagues all over the world. A glance at my watch to see what time it was in these distant locations was easier for me than any other technology at the time to join these meetings on time, and probably still is.

KISS often makes the most sense.

I like the Rolex blue (GMT, Sub) but not so much the green. Don't like their 'red' at all. But if I were offered a Pepsi I'd probably change my mind! (ha ha)

Not surprised.

Enjoy the ride, OP.

This is a killer trio.

That's why it's great to have so many options to choose from.

Totally agree. I've found taht most everyone that asks me what time it is, aren't carrying their cell phone with them or can't remember where they left it. So what's easier than looking at your wrist?
