My GMT II is the same case (though an Oyster bracelet), and it doesn't really wear that differently from my much visibly smaller 1675 GMT Master.
-
The bracelet is the way to go, but it's worth the experimentation.

I found out a few days ago, but I still have cancer. It isn't going to kill me tomorrow, or anything.

Oh my god. Somebody reads Hodinkee! I mean, right? I have an excellent relationship with my AD, and I would be laughed out if I went in and wanted to try something. It's not like I'm going to buy one...
-
I thought it was brilliant.

Did you see the meteor dial white gold Pepsi?

Cozy Speedy family. I'm taking a break from Apple Watches. This Speedy goes better with Japanese selvedge work shirts than any smart watch would. Hodinkee navy Horween shell strap with a 60s vintage Omega buckle. I wear the pre-moon on its bracelet mostly. It's nice having a second Speedy, for strap wear. And this is why I like 20/16 straps, as it let's me wear vintage buckles.

I'm looking forward to seeing the results!

That sounds like great birthday, Al! Happy birthday!

If I had $52,000 to spend on a watch, I think I'd have a hard time not getting one of these: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/patek-philippe-ref-5235r-annual-calendar-regulator-introducing

Love, Death and Robots, on Netflix. It''s pretty great.
-
What taper did you choose for the strap? I always have 20mm straps made to taper down to 16mm.

First Man. It was incredible. Since I didn’t get to watch it in the theater, I’m glad I got to see it with a full HD projector in a 100 inch screen.
-
That movie was fucking amazing. I feel so glad that I got to meet the man.
-
How big of a dork am I that I put on my pre-moon in preparation for watching First Man? Mr. Armstrong presented me with my Eagle Scout badge; I'm very interested in seeing how the portrayal is, having actually met the man. I wish I had been able to see this in the theater, but at least I can watch it on large projection screen!
-
Inaugural projector movie is The Fall. 100 inches worth in full HD. It’s insane to me that this is my bedroom system.

BTW, Dave: strap end-links that fit the 16570 Explorer 2 should fit that case just fine. I had a pair for my 16570, so I know they exist (I got that set off rolexforums.com). Anyway, that watch is a beauty: I dunno if there is a better two watch collection than the Saxonia thin and a Perpetual. That dial would be my choice, too, I think. My GMT 2 says "hi."
-
I have worn Oyster watches with that style of end link. At the end of the day, I like an Oyster on a bracelet best. I might still have some of the endlinks, but who knows where they are...
-
Come on, the "outstanding" was obviously in response to Birgir saying he was going to get a pair.

Sometimes you want a cheeseburger, but you are really trying to be vegan again, and you are lazy, and it's Wednesday. Good vegan mayo is better than Hellman's. That's a "skinny bun." You forget it's not a brioche after you bite into it.

I did an exercise on the app that combined free weights with the bike. I don't see why I would ever do free weights by themself, ever again. I feel like I've been through a ringer! This bike was maybe the best gift my mother has ever given me, from the standpoint of quality of life, and she has given me some exceptional gifts. I finally think I have the saddle position dialed in. That really make a big difference to the perineum!

Boy is this a lot better with the new pedals and shoes! I did a 45 minute advanced beginner course, today. I am bushed!

I subscribe to Apple Music through the college sub, and I have the hifi sub to Tidal. I love Tidal, snake oil or no. High Rez is something I've double-blinded (if you knew me, TMoney, you would know about my double-blind experiments; it's a big part of what Head-Case was founded on), and it is demonstrably better. It may just be the mastering, but better mastering in high res is better than worse mastering in not. No?
-
I ended up doing forty five minutes of free weights this evening, and I have enough endorphins going that I want to jump back on the bike. I think that is a good sign.
