    Coincidence this thread popped up. I won a Rolex GMT Master II in an online raffle yesterday. I'm. Over the ******* moon. Still giddy about it. Just got to work out what to do with it now.

      Toying with keeping with Omega or moving to a Breitling, not a fan of steel bands so am toying between these two.





      Not a bloody clue what to pick there. I've looked at this like 10 times. Thinking of thr Breitling because of the blue face. I'd want a bitnof colour in my watch. Apart from that? Dunno. Tough one but two absolutely belting watches. I'm sure you'll love either.

        I've got 2 watches:

        - Rolex Datejust II
        - Garmin Forerunner 735XT

          I think that you might regret the Nato strap. Cloth and skin oil is not a happy combination. Nice watch though.

          I tend toward steel bracelets (Tag F1 Series 1 circa 1990'ish, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Gen 1) for everyday and leather strap (Breitling TopTime Panda circa 1967) for dress wear.

          Happy shopping.

                If it was a batman or pepsi one, I'd give your accountant £100 for it, in non-sequential used one pound notes.

                  The Bremont is quite nice.

                  In the end, due to lockdown, I've still not got one.

                  I quite like this:

                      These are totally different types of watches, the colour should not be that important. How about reading up on the technical construction of each watch.
