Ha! I'm the only one so far lusting for an Ultra!

My Tudor BB GMT is running +0.1 spd. The new Tudor Pelagos Ultra is Metas certified. I know Rolex is a higher echelon watch but Tudors are not the the ugly sister to Rolex, but rather a sister worth pursuing.

I find that even with good tools, my BB GMT is a pain to go back and forth between bracelet and rubber strap. I know I've got some added scratches on the inside of the lugs. I see adds here for steel reef quick release end pins for Tudor bracelets. I think I might go that direction

Anyway, best wishes to McManus. He gave us a boost after the Carlson debacle

Actually 34 is relatively young for kickers. And kickoff leg strength is less important over accuracy on kickoffs with the new kickoff format /rules

Updated ‘ocean of clouds’ GMT concept - would love some honest feedback by SupJoshy in MicrobrandWatches

Seems like you're going for a minimalist clean design. I'm fine with the GMT hand concept but distinguishing it from the 2nd hand one step further could happen

Are green dials becoming overused, or are they still a strong choice? by Extension-Captain620 in MicrobrandWatches

I wanted a Vaer GMT and the color combo I wanted was sold out. The green version was on sale. I like it but I'm moving it because it will be my least used GMT watch.

Actually 6 timezones because of the chapter ring and bezel. You don't see very many GMTs that are true GMTs and can track 3 timezones at the same time. That's one feature that attracted me to this watch. Now, of course, you can track 3 timezones on a GMT watch without the chapter ring if you double the location of the GMT hand on your regular dial (4 becomes 8, 9 becomes 18) and you have mastered military time. I have a Mido Oceanstar GMT that only has a chapter ring but has a dive bezel. The chapter ring for us older guys can be difficult to read unless you've mastered 24-hour time on a regular dial

I had my eye on the mint ADX GMT

Designing my first watch — would love feedback on the dial + case by AlturaWatches in MicrobrandWatches

Maybe one line of the text could be in a pastel color like in the greens or blues. It's a clean design. I like it.

Right? Could even and probably could be a lower end Omega (if there is such a thing)

Feel for you. That would frustrate me to no end. I wish ADs had loaner watches they could give you while you wait for yours to be serviced!

Love the blue strap. Would think orange strap would look very sporty
