    So I suggest you give me your GMT Master and sell the rest.
    I think that's where I'm going (except the GMTIIc gifting part ).... that being said the GMTIIc is probably on the chopping block too..... would probably trade for an older model Rolex..... or most likely a 38.5mm AT....
    Like I said the real pain is not in the disposal per se...it's in the stress of photography and the Muppet show that I will have to endure on the sales forums..... (not here of course because everyone is lovely )

    You know it!.... I had no idea the Explorer would be "the one" .... took me entirely by surprise...... no complaints from me other than I have landed myself in this predicament

    I totally understand that. I’m getting ready to sell some stuff and I just can’t bring myself to go through the rigmarole. One of the reasons you should just give the GMTII to me.

    I can offer you another Tudor Black Bay and Breitling B-1, as well as a hand-drawn pinup, drawn by me.

    If I'm not wearing a watch I typically clean it, box it up, and put it in the closet for a month. If I don't miss the watch I sell it.
