·To be honest I find GMTs pointless unless a complication you actually use (daily or weekly).
The only GMT I actually like is the Mido Hodinkee Ltd Ed

·Chrono is a lot less useful to me than GMT. Even not travelling much post pandemic, it is useful having a second timezone. Mine is usually set on the time zone of my boss, or the team/customer I’m working with currently. It’s very useful being able to see what time it is there and saves me doing clock math.

I used a chronograph a lot when I had one, timing my lunch hour, walks to work, perfect tea brewing time, cooking, although I did find when having the Monaco compared to either the Carrera or Speedy, I actually like the 12hr timing function.
As much as I hate dates, when I'm not working I never know the date. So would be handy.
Diving bezel I use multiple times a day and much more useful than a chronograph when cooking.

I've really wanted a flyback with a bidirectional bezel to make both tasks easier; and I think I've found one in the Longines Spirit. Will find out next week!

·Finally found a great deal on, IMO, the perfect cooking watch.
Longines Spirit Flyback in titanium. Flyback chrono is great for recipes with multiple steps to time - no stop, reset, start again anymore. And the fully graduated bezel is bidirectional so for longer times like pasta or baking, easy to set and switch up.
Overall I do like the watch, but I think it’s a bit lacking at sticker price. For over 50% off though it’s pretty great!

·Congrats Adam! I agree that Longines are insanely overpriced for what they are but at >50% off it seems more reasonable 👍🏻

·Flyback chrono "for cooking" sounds more like a horology addict trying to convince his angry wife why it was a good idea to buy a new watch 😉

·Same, I also use the cooking bezel almost daily
I’m way too obsessive about timings for cooking to use a bezel, but they came into their own during the pandemic for Covid tests

·Comes in handy when I’m cooking a roast dinner, various foods on at different times (would be my reasoning to buy one)

·Role on the 21st when Omega potentially announcing some new Daniel Craig watches.
Rumour is the burgundy/ gold one is a Goldfinger 60th edition (funny as that was Rolex ahem).
But the black one apparently regular. Also heard a grey dial variant due also. And 2 strap options for each.
Im a sucker for a no date dive watch so let’s see.

·Exactly. All th
Proper cool, both of those.
Albeit based on sneak peeks by the man himself.
