Second, I have a question for GMT owners. Do yall actually have a need for a GMT or just like the looks?

They're nice when traveling or when needing to track the time in a second (or third) time zone for work.

They look cool, too.

I always felt funny thinking about getting a GMT when a dive watch can be a timer also

There are some combo GMT/Divers out there now such as the Seiko SPB38X (I have a 383), the Mido Ocean Star GMT, and the Lorier Hydra. I'm sure there are others, but those come to mind. They are dive watches first. We won't get into flyer vs. caller GMT.

Third, guy who says Tudor is a poor man’s Rolex is wrong. New tudors are getting metas certified with in house movements and offer colorways not in Rolex’s catalog.

I'm on the fence about Tudor. I don't own one, but I think they look cool and like the size of the BB58. But for the price, I would buy an Omega Seamaster or Speedy. It's all theoretical to me because I can't mentally justify wearing a watch that pricey. Anything that would be recognized as costing over a few hundred bucks on my wrist just isn't for me. For now.
