The first one doesn't look too bad on your wrist.

The GMT II Ice looks awesome!

Have to agree here. Both look vulgar to be honest, no matter what the price of the ice.

I believe the Leopard Daytona was about $52,000 USD and the GMT ice was about $125,000 USD.

It's pretty cold right now so I put on some ski clothing. The shirt is a base layer made by Spyder and I do get comments about spiders when I wear the stuff outside the ski areas. If you watch the winter Olympics, you will notice the US ski team and the Canadian alpine team wearing the Spyder gear.

I actually like the combo on the GMT II bezel - not that I agree with it, or would own one, but it looks aesthetically pleasing.

As for the rest of it, in particular the band, dial, subdials, orange bezel, hell, everything on the Lepoard... DISGUSTING (imo)

Whew!!! I really didn't know what to say, I thought about writing something rude, then thought better not to write any response at all, then I realized.....
BTW the first one really goes nicely with the shirt cuff!
Cheers,
Carl
