I've never had it, but it sounds disgustly. But then what do I know? January 25th is Robbie Burns day and I'm looking for a place that serves a good haggis to celebrate!

I think that's a fake JJ. Look closely at the markers.
The ones from 7-11 are futher away from the edges than the ones 2-5.

Oh just great, Bronc, now you've gone and done it. Imagine my shock when I drew the blinds this morning and saw this. I just about inhaled my coffee.

Thanks Gedanken, I've always wondered what it would feel like to have hot coffee coming out of my nostrils

You should include a warning not to be drinking anything when opening up a post like this!

OK, now I cannot remember what the thread was about. Oh, watches, GMT or Sub...hummm a good question. The movements are basically the same 31XX. I do not think there is a wrong answer here unless you travel often. They are both great watches. The movement on the GMT II has one more complication, the 24 hour hand and you can set it for whatever time zone you want. Also, the bezel rotates so you can use that for a third time zone. The Exp bezel does not rotate like the Sub which is unidirectional or the GMT which is bi-directional. I suggest you try them both on and decide for yourself. =) maverick

Thanks for the Input

Wow,

A new member gets over 45 replies, I am impressed.

Anyway, I do appreciate the replies, I will still think about the SD vs. GMTII.

I am leaning towards the SD right now, even though I ordered the GMT.

My reasoning is after reading your replies and the rest of the post here, the Sub is the classic Rolex, one of the original line of the sport watches, and I have been looking at this one for years.

The reason I orderd the GMT is the owner of the local Italian restaurant my wife and I frequent has a GMT, black/red and it caught her eye one night and that is when she said get a watch like that....and that is what started the ball rolling....and it is one fine looking watch.

Again Thanks,

Richard
