Its a miracle, I made a decision! (4/5)

Hello Everybody,

For the longest time I have been driving myself, and possibly many of my friends nuts deciding between the GMTiic and sub c.

I came to a decision last night to buy both... eventually. But for now the GMTiic wins. Here are a few dirty cell pics of my current collection. Im very pleased at how its coming along.

(remember that photoshop of the ceramic pepsi GMTiic? If that comes out at Basel, Im trading the F out of my current one for it.)

Nice collection!

How do you feel about the GMT vs the Explorer?

I have the Explorer but my eye is wandering to the GMT. I am a sucker for a rotating bezel though. From your pics they look to be close in size.

Wow what a great collection you have! I really like the JLC and Speedy (on straps!) you have mixed in there too. Good choice on the GMT, it's a great looking piece.

Congrats

I did the same thing. I couldn't decide either so I went with both.

Great collection, I'm after an Exp 42 or DSSD myself.
