PO GMT (Black and White) question for owners

I am self described GMT fanatic. It's by far my favorite complication and one I use frequently. It's actually the only non time complication I really love (I prefer no dates on my three handers).

I have a 126710 BLNR that I wear often, but don't like wearing it to work (for a lot of reasons). My GS SBGM221 is a little on the dressy side and there are some things about my Longnes ZT I'm not cray cray about and will probably move on from it.

So...I'm looking for an everyday wearer premium sport GMT (with jumping hour). I was just going to swing down and pick up a BBGMT or BBPRO, but then a friend notified me that he is moving on from his "Oreo" to accommodate an EXP II he was offered at his AD.

I love the watch, and I don't have a problem with the size on wrist, but I have a few questions for owners.
1. I work up to 14 hour days. This is a big piece. Is this a watch that you find stays comfortable on the wrist even after long periods?
2. I've seen pics where the 24 hour pip doesn't appear to align properly. I'm still waiting on pics of my friends, but is this the case with anyone's? I'm slightly OCD, and once I see it, I can't unsee it.
3. BIG ONE. The seconds hand and GMT are both the same color. Like I mentioned I use the GMT hand frequently. Is the GMT hand easy to spot with a glance or do you confuse it with the seconds hand?
4. Anyone own the BBGMT and the PO GMT? How do they compare?

TIA!!!!!

Movement and finishing on the Omega is higher.

honestly a Tudor movement is in a class below a Metas.

personal preference on what you like though.

I have the BB GMT and love it. Here are how I would answer your questions:

1. I work up to 14 hour days. This is a big piece. Is this a watch that you find stays comfortable on the wrist even after long periods? YES, I GENERALLY WEAR IT 14-16 HOURS PER DAY WHEN I AM TRAVELING.
2. I've seen pics where the 24 hour pip doesn't appear to align properly. I'm still waiting on pics of my friends, but is this the case with anyone's? I'm slightly OCD, and once I see it, I can't unsee it. MINE LINES UP PERFECTLY.
3. BIG ONE. The seconds hand and GMT are both the same color. Like I mentioned I use the GMT hand frequently. Is the GMT hand easy to spot with a glance or do you confuse it with the seconds hand? I HAVE NEVER CONFUSED THE TWO.
4. Anyone own the BBGMT and the PO GMT? How do they compare?
SORRY, I DONT OWN THE PO GMT.

Good point and don’t forget the older planet ocean gmt versions. And the Good Planet models not pictured.

I had the Oreo and the size and heft never bothered me. The 43.5 case really does settle into the wrist nicely.

The GMT hand can be a little tricky, but I'm not a self-described GMT power user like yourself. I think you'd probably be fine with it.

Pip always looked spot on to me.
