Totally happens to me, Jib!! I'm looking to buy the GMTIIC - then I buy the 312. I try at the IIC again - then I end up with the GV! Then I'm trying to get the IIC right now - but the Daytona and the 292 are in the picture!!

Argh!!

But yeah, I'd need a GMTIIC for travel...

I was living in peace and saving for a 111 (again!) when you posted that thread on the 292

Now I'm as confused as ever!

I'll probably end up with a GV , though

Good luck on your Daytona/292 decision, buddy

Thanks Imran, its 30+ years old now. The shot was while at Taipei's
Chiang Kai Shek airport - so it was probably a EVA Air plane.

I don't take my Rolex on vacation with me. I don't want to have to take it off at the airport. Also in general I don't like having an expensive watch, jewelery, too much cash, or anything of high value on me when I am not familiar with my surroundings.
