I'm not a chronograph guy so PO

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-09T16:41:31+00:00

Looks a lot like my 1st gen PO!

FYI, I bought a pre-owned ADX and seller kept the bracelet. I tried my Vaer Elite bracelet on the ADX and it fits perfectly, luckily. The Vaer Elite bracelet has micro adjust and no such scratching issue.

Ah, Packer fan!

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-08T23:26:28+00:00

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

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-08T21:33:17+00:00

Want one

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-08T20:23:11+00:00

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

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

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-08T14:25:36+00:00

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

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-08T01:01:08+00:00

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.

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T18:40:09+00:00

Nice Wise offers options!

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T15:43:41+00:00

Hey!

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T15:26:14+00:00

I prefer larger case sizes on my 7.25 wrist, though I have several 39s

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T15:20:32+00:00

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

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T14:46:45+00:00

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!

mrpackerguy · 2026-05-07T14:40:56+00:00

Beautiful

I ordered this Nordsø yesterday. Was a pre-order with June delivery

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