Joe, this is just a gorgeous watch. Everytime I see a GMT with a t-38 it makes me smile. My next watch quest is to find one and put it on my 1675. Thank you for the help with sourcing one. Hopefully one will become available soon.

One more in the amazing winter sun 55 degrees here!



Fat lugs, fat case, crisp chamfers, perfect patina, 10 dial, tight original bracelet...What else does one need? Ah yes a black leather strap on the way from my buddy Michael Morgan!

Thank you so much Mark! The T38 is perfect for the 1675. I hope you find one soon and can't wait to see it!!

That 1680 makes me miss mine, Ken!

But I think I'd rather have a YG 6263 ;-)

Nice to wear a vintage piece for a change; something different. Now to decide - change to leather or nato.
