Why I love my GMT
I bought the Omega GMT as a cheaper alternative to the GMT Master and I still hope I will own a GMT Master (old style) before I die, but I have been very pleased with the SmP GMT and at the risk of boring you guys, here is what I like about it's design. But first a picture or two. (Oh no, not again you say). Now why I like the watchIt's pure function over design:- Oversized markers on a black backround are very easy to see in poor lighting conditions- Layers of Superluminova make night vision easy- The 24 Hr hand is red making it easy to see the 2nd timezone at a glance- Boxed date lead the eye quickly to the date function- Oversized military style hands - again easy to see in all lights and no light- Two tone bezel is not essential but gives a quick estimate of night and night- Crown is deeply recessed for protection and the bracelet is nice, but not flashy.- Non hacking adjustable hour hand and a bezel for a third time zone make this a real GMTWhat traveller would want more?Now, why

Brushed finish on SmP
I made the mistake of asking an AD to change my strap. He came back two minutes later proudly saying he had polished my watch (which did not need polishing). He polished part of my strap to a mirror finish - I've fixed that. But I've just noticed one of the sides is polished at the lug end. Does anyone know what grade of abrasion Omega use on the sides of their SmP?
