RANT ALERT! I'm sick of begging for a proper size sport GMT. LFG!!

akshayluc420 · Dec 12, 2022

I'm going to voice this softly here as I know the ask is for a sport watch: I'd like to see the Globemaster as a GMT, using the lovely fluted tungsten bezel to rotate an internal bezel/rehaut with the 24-hour markings, a similar mechanism used in Breitlings and KonTikis with 200m WR IIRC. I don't care for annual calendars, if you're going to name a product or model with a reference to the Globe, a GMT or worldtimer really should be the USP.

Ofcourse it may not be what OP is asking for, I have no idea what the work entails; just my 2c as I feel the Globamaster is a dressy-sports watch.

Pretty sure this is the VTNR....

See this should be the BGBR
Black Green Bezel Rolex

The global abbreviation to cover all modern Rolex sport watch offerings should be the BOTIIA
Bend Over Take It In Ass.

Either way, just look at the craftsmanship of that rant. For a drunk individual, it looks incredible. I’m not an English major, but I don’t see any errors.

I see three grocer's apostrophes in the first sentence. (IANAEMBIPOOTI)

And vintage too… 😉

I wouldn't expect Omega to make a GMT watch as small or wearable as the GMT Master 2. Even Rolex will probably make it larger in the next generation like they did for the Explorer 2 and the Sub.

I vote just pick up a used Seamaster 50th until Omega can figure out how to slim down a gmt again.

I didn't know what the term for these sorts of typos were, learned something new, thank you! This happens quite often when posting from my phone, especially for possessive and plural of 'it'. (FUAC: F*** you auto-correct)

What is IANAEMBIPOOTI?

...Do they charge by the letter to type on the net?

...Spell the fuckin name out for Christ sakes. Does using these silly nicknames and short cuts send a lame signal for an in-the-know watch guy or something?

I'm with you, Fred -- 100% Spread the gospel!

And for the OP

D'oh!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::facepalm1::

Jesus...

I took one of wife's Ambiens for the first time ever last night, because I couldn't sleep. True story. I actually don't drink. In the course of a few hours, I put a note in my wife's purse that I prefer not to talk about, got banned from the Rolex forums for posting the titular thread "Lovemaking whilst watch wearing", and then this gem of a post.

Never again.

I'm sorry for the confusion. That being said, the raw emotion is not fictional. I think it's ridiculous that Omega toys around with so many LE's and specialties whilst refusing to make a proper sports GMT that's not too big for a huge portion of the population. It makes me wonder what focus group marketing has been going on, because I have heard a lot of chatter about it being a noticeable void on the line up.

Just get a 5-digit GMT Master II.

Ambien must be good shit.

Yes, yes it is…if used as intended 😗

But you have a 15 minutes window from taking it to get to bed- or your Id takes control.

this one isn't slim at all. if you want slim GMT from Omega you should look at de ville GMT.

I took Ambien one time and felt a little woozy before conking out. Although, in my case it was on a 13 hour flight home from China and kinda stupid because if that plane went down I’d be sleeping myself to the bottom of the ocean. Realistically though, if the plane went down we all would have probably died anyway and I’d have slept through the horror, so maybe it was smart. Can’t wait to hear JDubs’ story 🍿

I pray your car is still in the garage, you didn’t operate any heavy machinery, and that the perfect GMT watch that you forgot you ordered soon surprises you in the mail.
