At the risk of sounding uninformed about other brands. Can someone explain how that Panerai functions as a GMT? I can see the GMT hand - I guess you just use the main dial as reference?......I would get night and day confused in the alternate timezone haha.

Yes, the Pam 320 is a 12 hour GMT. Requires a bit more mental exercise to keep track of day and night in the other zone.
I've used it overseas and it works fine. Just not as 'good' as the Rolex. |

For me, the rotating 12-hour bezel is easiest/quickest/most intuitive to read. As long as you know if the place you are tracking is ahead or behind, it's a breeze. Here's an example, 10.20 local time, 7.20 tracked time.

Great GMT trio!
I also suffer from the same affliction aptly called GMTcytis. I have been suffering since acquisition of PAM 88, B&M Hampton Magnum dual time, Rolex Coke, BLNR, TT GMT-C, Omega Great White GMT, Omega SMP GMT co-axial, Omega SMP GMT 50th anniversary and EXP II 42mm Polar. I'm not sure I'm ready to be cured.

Three beauties for sure - a bit partial to the BLRO....after all the amazing pics people (including you) have posted it's on my radar for sure!

I have a soft spot [and need] for multi time zone watches of all stripes. And like Adam, some come with 12 hour bezels as well as 24.
