Maybe its time for a SS sports watch.
GMTIIC or SubC.

Go try some on and get what YOU like, not what others suggest.

That's a beautiful watch you have. For a second one I'd suggest something sportier, anything with numbers on the bezel.

If you want to spend under $10k then I recommend a SS sport model. This would be a nice alternate addition to you gold model. Go try them all on and go with the one that sings to you.
Once you pull the trigger, post pictures of what you bought. Good luck and have fun with your search. |

what came to mind was either a sub maybe the hulk or the white face milgauss or the new explorer 2. the gmtii seems a bit like a tag.

I would go to an AD and try all the SS sport models.
What smiles to you is the one you have to buy!!! |

If you wait long enough someone will probably recommend this as well, just as someone might recommend the Milgauss, ExpI, ExpII, TOG, or AK.
If the Sub ND is the one you perfer, I say go for it.

The Submariner no-date would be a good choice but I personally prefer the GMT. You would end up with something a bit more complications than just giving the time (unless you're a diver) and it has a similar design.
