Globemaster as only watch

Hi,
I am in process of buying Globemaster which will become my only - everyday watch. I like everything about it, but just would like to hear few opinions about following:

1) Blue or white dial?
I know that this is discussed numerous times but what do you think will be more "everyday"? I own Speedmaster pro and Aquaterra both watches with dark dials (will be sold soon both) but I am not sure that I like idea of blue dial just to continue with dark(er) dials. It is ok for me to have blue in collection but I am not sure if it is good candidate for everyday watch.

I would like to hear your objective opinion not just personal taste.
I am leaning to silver dial as I think it is more subtle and I don't know somehow more universal for everyday use. Also I like idea that it will be less shiny than Aqua Terra as I like when my watch goes below radar of other people (and scratches).
Will wear it on bracelet.

2) Size of Globemaster?
On my wrist daily were present Speedy with 42mm in diameter and Aqua Terra with 41mm, and I have wrist of 17-17.5cm diameter.
Will 39mm Globemaster be significantly smaller than those two? I don't like to wear too big watches but lets say those two I own now, fits great and I like how they look on my wrist.
I know that 39mm is somehow sweet spot but still I am little worried if GM would look smallish which I don't like.
I saw GM before but never pay attention that much and now I am not able to go and try one. Will have to buy it online.

3) Few more things but I forgot, will ask later 😀 😀 😀

Hi welcome to the forum. As a man, I would not buy the blue dial if it is your one everyday watch. You allude to this in your 1st paragraph; the silver dial will be more versatile if you also have black/brown/chino/etc. colour clothes in your everyday wardrobe.

Hi @HikerTz,
Take a look in this thread to get some additional viewpoints:-

In my experience the Globemaster wears large, so you shouldn’t have any issues with it feeling too small. If it’s on a bracelet the blue dial will go through all sorts of colour nuances but I have never had the feeling that it was ever out of harmony with other stuff I was wearing. This is not so if it’s on the dark blue leather strap.

I guess the white dial GM will be the most versatile in the end, but you will be sacrificing an essential GM experience taking white over blue.

In the end only you can make the call; try both, forget about it for a while and repeat the process again later.

let us know how you get in.

Or ever? Eeeuw! 😜

A watch looks small/big not only because its actual diameter but also because of the dial size. A dress watch in 39mm is definitely not small.

Hey thank you all for welcome and your opinions. Sorry I am at work right now so I just start writing reply then have to take a break to do some work and when I return I see new posts, so sorry I am not replying to every or any specific post 😀

@kaapstadflaneur your picture is really great and when I see pics like yours I just can't understand how GM is so underrated watch...

Lets try different approach to this question:
What do you think what could be drawbacks of white dial? For example as @Twocats pointed out, he had problem with reading time at glance. And that is what I call objective reason . (I think silver GM would not have that problems as black hands are in good contrast to background).

To be honest I am still in "silver team" but I gladly read your opinions. Not because I ask you to change my mind but because I like to read what people think on topics like this.

Regarding size, I added that just because I forgot to ask other things what I wanted to ask (lol) but I am also almost 100% sure that size is just perfect.

I am also not interested in fashion in a way that I take care of every small details so to be honest I would never notice wrong combination of shoes and belt or similar things. Most things that is today modern is looking strange to me even I am relatively young (36years). That is why I am seeking combination that is most universal on my watch so watch itself will not draw attention just because it is out of place. With speedmaster and Aqua terra that worked really well.

I don't think that GM is real dress watch but rather something as Aqua terra but maybe just this time GM is little bit more dressy watch with sports elements and AT is opposite. But I would look on them almost in same category.

Basically I am ready for white GM and I like it right now little more, but I think that it is because I am rather conservative or like to play safe in every aspect of my life so white dial is in my opinion more standard color for watch than blue one (which is gorgeous for sure).

Sorry for my rather long and messed up post, but as I mention at the beginning I am writing it for 40 minutes and just add and add content to it 😀

I think we need a LOT more Globemaster photos in this thread.

White vs blue because you asked


The bezel doesn’t seem to scratch at all, ever, but shit still happens

If you really must wear a penguin outfit


and a few more one the Speedmaster vs Globemaster size thing

It's such a personal thing OP should just decide based on his own lifestyle and wardrobe. Meantime, I'll keep wearing my everyday shades-of-brown ensemble with a white dial. The far simpler solution of course is to have more than 1 watch. 😉

This. Missing from this discussion of an "everyday watch" is what the OP does everyday. As a RN in an ER, my go-to is a tool watch which is comfortable and easy to read, and that bill is filled with a Tudor Pelagos. So, knowing what the OP does and how they dress would go a long way in the recommendation of both color and wearability.

So I showed up in my favourite brown cardigan and grey shirt. First they thought I was delivering something. When I explained, they gave me a white coverall and made me sit out here until they finish. Just great.

Hahahaha, I came thisclose in going with a AT Bumblebee for that reason!!! I was like "they pan-scan patients like it's doling out Tylenol, maybe I need something with a higher magnetic resistance!" 😁

I work in a office as a lawyer. When not at court I am dressed what is probably called as "Casual".

This is me more or less. Just instead of blue jeans I often wear black or dark pants (right now dark linen pants). In winter it is mostly shirt or sweater or combination. Very rarely classic suite and when I do wear it is most classic as it can be 😀
