Incoming - GoodPlanet GMT

I picked this up today. I'd been researching PO's, and decided to go with this one. It took a while to decide between a regular PO, chronograph or GMT, but this ultimately won out. I know some don't like the orange and blue, but it's my alma mater's colors, and I love the look.

The bamboo box is nice too.

The AD gave me this too, which describes Omega's history. Going to spend some time tonight reading through it and checking the time.

Cool! Wear it in good health!

I got the same book when I bought my Skyfall Aqua Terra. Fascinating history and great pictures!
