89: Are GMTs even useful? Can a GADA wat...

Lydia Winters and Vu Bui
About this episode

In this episode we discuss GMTs and whether they are useful to most people, and whether or not they are even useful for travelers, spurred by a question by ⁠@syktgrei⁠. We also talk about using a dive bezel as a makeshift GMT as per ⁠@tedspeaker⁠'s suggestion, and discuss whether or not a GADA watch can even work in a collection with specialized pieces, thanks to ⁠@adriantbt⁠.


If you have a question you'd like us to answer you can DM us at ⁠@thiswatchlife⁠ or email us at questions@thiswatchlife.com.
