Wanting a 24hr hand!

Hello Everyone

what is it with this forum?! I've only been here a while, perfectly happy with my 14060m but now I find myself searching for used explorer iis & gmt's!

I fear, it is only a matter of time before a purchase will have to be made,

I've tried a few 16570's on, and a late model white face model would really appeal to me, but I'd also really love a pepsi bezel gmt, if you'll forgive my ignorance, what model reference is the most recent GMT that was available with a pepsi bezel? I'm sure you'll have realised my budget won't stretch to the new white gold behemoth!

What watch would you guys go for to accompany the sub?

I like your thinking on the white Explorer II. You would have great contrast with these two.

I did the same, bought a 14060 and wanted a GMT then ended up with these two the same week a couple of weeks ago. As they say, "be careful what you wish for."

Beautiful watches, thanks for sharing, I don't think I could go wrong whatever I ended up with!

Ah I remember those early days. Quick, ask to be banned before you're in too deep!
