Congrats Bruce!

One question: how can I justify purchasing a GMT II if I already own a white dial explorer II and a 2T sub? (Actually, how can I justify that purchase to 'her')

Because a GMT has a black dial. And if you get the right one, it will also have a black bezel. Neither the EXP nor the Sub can make that claim. That's how you justify it.

Ok. Or I can use my other sales pitch

to answer 'how many watches do you need?'; simple: 'just as many shoes as you do'.

...after that we finish the day with a new watch and a new pair of shoes.

Pretty minor, aside from not holding anything down including water since Thursday. Sorry I gave up the macho SH*T after college a long time ago.

I'm out!
