Why do I keep going back to my IIC ?
Been wearing my Sub C LV for a couple of days in the nice bright sunshine, but at the first opportunity I put the Gmt IIC back on.
Why do I feel so comfortable in this bloody watch ? I never hardly take it off I just love the way it looks & feels, the sub c is brilliant for sure. But maybe the Gmt IIC is just too good. I must be going mad. |

Hey, I always go back to mine too. It was my first one and it's a great watch.

For those of us who love the GMT (in all its flavors), you are quite normal.
I wear my all black GMT-II 90% of the time. When I switch off to one of my other watches for variety, I always come back to the GMT. It's just a state of our lives that we are in love with our GMTs.

If I could only have one, it would have to be a GMT.

Every collection has it's rock star for me it's my Sea Dweller I prefer to wear it most days and have to consciously decided to put on another watch over the SD. I love all my watches and I try to wear each one as much as possible but the SD clearly gets most of the wrist time.

I would have a tough time putting on a II-C over the LV-C.

The GMTIIc is probably the favorite for me out of my collection too.
Love the way it sits on the wrist. It feels just right. |
