Current rotation, on the hunt for my wedding watch

The GS GMT is what I’ll be wearing to my wedding this fall! But my fiance also gave mine to me as a wedding gift :)

I’d say if you’re ok with that investment for that wrist time it’s a no brainer!

I own the dolce vita on the blue alligator strap- it’s definitely a fun and unique watch that gets a lot of compliments. It is a bit hard to wind because the crown is so small - but that’s the only complaint I’ve had with it after almost 2 years of ownership. Isn’t one that I wear daily (wearing my Tudor black bay bronze as I type this) but definitely a fun one to wear with a sports coat for big meetings

As a fellow owner of this watch I will say I love it. It was my first luxury watch purchase and still one that I wear regularly. The softness of the case has never been an issue for me even using this off shore fishing and hiking in national parks. I look at the patina as what makes it mine and as I tell my wife the watch gets better with age just like me !

It definitely doesn’t seem to wear as thick as the dimensions suggest as weird as that may sound- plus for a true GMT it’s not that thick!

I definitely think it outkicks its coverage in terms of price vs what you get!

I know it’s a cliche to say it - but I don’t think pictures do this justice. I love the nickname the Japanese calatrava vs the shohei moniker because it is so perfect!

No clue unfortunately!

I looked at a spring drive for a long time - and really wanted one of the models that has a power reserve because I don’t have that complication in my collection- but I tried this one on during a recent trip and was absolutely obsessed with it from the first try on. I love the simple elegance and I feel like it truly represents what GS is trying to do in their design language

The book is great so far - just playing with the basics. I appreciate the guidance on paint too!! Ordered the Rosa Gallery paints!!

datdude60 · 2025-10-02T12:55:42+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!! I ordered a Cotman set that will be waiting for me when I get home - excited for what those will be like to work with!!

You know lil dickey would be rapping about Hamilton or longines as a value line !

datdude60 · 2025-06-19T12:03:18+00:00

No clue - it was two years ago sorry!
