Inspired the Daytona/date thread:

If you could have a GMT with two 12-hr hands (one of which jumps like the current 12hr hand) and a sub-style timing bezel, would you buy one? I, personally, would prefer it as I don't like translating 24hr time.

Dan Pierce · 9 November 2009, 03:55 PM

Not really. I have a few watches with 12 hour bezels that I use as a second timezone without the need for a 24 hour hand. But since I communicate with clients and vendors on the other side of the globe the 24 hour hand [and bezel] make the GMT the perfect world timer for me.

Don't think that would look right...too much is too much!

nektar · 9 November 2009, 04:08 PM

too much..

WatchTimes · 9 November 2009, 04:10 PM

Ummm no!
I would much rather have a dive watch with a 12 hr bezel
if I needed to track a second time zone over having a dive
watch with two 12 hr hands.

I wish someone made a TRUE (HEV) dive watch which had a 24 hr hand
or something.... The closest I have come was the Panerai Arktos (I think thats it, perhaps 186?) but no HEV although it does have the big dive case (not the 1950 though)

nope

Singslinger · 9 November 2009, 04:35 PM

Not a good idea, IMO.

dannyp · 9 November 2009, 05:02 PM

What if there were no dive bezel, the watch shared a case with the Milgauss or DJ II, and it were sold as a dress-up version of the GMT, not part of the professional line? Could be billed as the "Datejust Globemaster."

Desperado · 9 November 2009, 05:05 PM

Nooo

JJ Irani · 9 November 2009, 05:07 PM

As it I was wondering what that extra GREEN hand on my new GMTIIC was and I was about to rip it off!!

You have a very active imagination!

BASSETHOUNDS · 9 November 2009, 09:04 PM

Just leave me alone ..; I'm still considering how and when to buy a GMTIIC just as it is and this guy comes up with all sorts ....

Watch Professor · 9 November 2009, 11:42 PM

No. Another hand to clutter the dial?

snow_rocks · 10 November 2009, 07:51 AM

Well, that would be just fine

glendon21 · 10 November 2009, 08:15 AM

No, I will not buy it.

Wild imaginations are welcome here.

How about a Daytona w/ a 24h hand or a GMT with chronograph function?
