I went to Canterbury today and couldn't resist popping into Mappin & Webb.
I tried on the GMT Master IIc. Boy it looked good.
I've tried the bi-metal before and didn't care for it much but the SS was just perfect.
Oh dear.

Nope. Although i had my walllet with me, the though of not having a holiday this year was just too awful.
And i'd have to flip one of my watches to fund the purchase which i don't really want to do. Yet.

Well, you can take comfort in your Explorer II....It has the 2nd timezone function, so, your desire for the GMTII-c is purely cosmetic.

Well Martin...any last words?? I guess you're going to have to face your fate...it is inevitable now...we are all with you..you are not alone. Now seek out the watch..and let it be on your wrist where it truly belongs!

It's ok for you, Dalip. You don't need a holiday living in Oz. Fond memories of Down Under.

Stick a fork in you....you are done! Don't forget to post pics.

mopsey · 14 May 2010, 09:10 PM

Awesome

We've just hit a little cold...and we are moaning like crazy

It was only 18c today......terrible

Now.. Back on topic....when you getting the gmt2c

Seriously love mine....awesome watch...and a definite keeper

mopsey · 14 May 2010, 09:19 PM

Just for the record, i also like the fact that i have a wife. I can't help but think that if i came home with the GMTIIc i wouldn't have one for much longer

Martin, always important to add the cost of a divorce into the over all price of the next purchase.

Always great to hear from you, mate.

Mystro · 14 May 2010, 09:29 PM

Yes, very good point. My wife wonders why I need all these beautiful watches that are suppose to last a lifetime or 3 life times.

All do respect, selling a watch to buy a watch isnt a bad thing. I would just think about it for a while before doing it.

you cope with the temperature ok did you???? I think even after living here for 8 years and drinking ice cold beer I may have some issues

Lol-x · 14 May 2010, 09:30 PM

I hope it works out for you...the wait can make the acquisition more satisfying and significant........but I know how you feel

...that is sometimes part of the journey

mopsey · 14 May 2010, 09:33 PM
