No issues at all.

(Personally I would never own a blinged out GMT. I am more of a purist when it comes to my taste in watches.)

Gotcha. I wouldn’t ever own one, either. If I get a GMT it’ll be more or less a daily watch. All that bling would be too much for me.

Takes away functionality and adds stupidity.

There's no loss of functionality. As long as 0-hundred hours is differentiated (which in the case of the pictures it is indeed by the triangular caret and diamond) one can easily still tell where on the 24-hour bezel the 24-hour hand is indicating.

Nothing hard about it. Reading a 24-hour bezel using gem batons and 24-hour hand is no different than reading a numberless 12-hour dial using plots or batons. Are there really people who have trouble doing the latter...need the numbers 1-12 spelled out for them?

Once the GMT bezel is blinged, the watch loses it's functionality. If you want diamonds, DD or DJ would suffice.

I use my GMT every time I travel, that's why I got it.
