my next watch

i cant decide what to buy for my next watch. i already have a gmt iic(which i love) but want more of a weekend watch.

any suggestions?
i have been looking at an explorer 1 and swapping it for a leather strap

furthermore, should i get a watch winder to keep this watch running during the weekday?

As I don't know you I would not know what to suggest but a Pt DD with aqua dial and romans pushes my button.

Forget the winder.
Setting it on a Friday is part of the fun.

Explorer I is a great pick and no need for the winder IMO

As for what I'm looking for, really just a leather strap, simple but unique. Ive looked into Cartier, panerai(but met a few douche bags that wore one, so I don't know if I want to be one of them) and the explorer 1. That dd does spell all that but can't afford platinum ATM. Any other suggestion?

Btw. Love thr Friday comment!!!

Omega PO! Don't let a couple of douchebags deter you from Panerai. Though, I didn't buy a Rolex for a long time cause of Rolex douchebags and fanboys. At the end of the day it's your watch.

I also have a GMT II-c and am contemplating another watch to add to my collection. I have focused pretty heavily on Explorer I, but recent posts have caused me to consider the Milgauss as well. I think you might also enjoy a PAM. A very good friend of mine has one and he raves about it!

As far as a watch winder goes, I keep both my automatics in a watch winder at night and when not in use. I find that they keep better time that way.
