 Congratulations on the Great White, Chris. Surely one of the most recognizable and imho "pretty" of the Omega watches. Certainly one of my personal favorites and one I've come close to grabbing a number of times.

I've got a few GMT watches including the Rolex GMTII and it sounds like your GMT functions pretty much identically to the Rolex caliber. I'm not a complications guy, but I find the GMT or four hand arrangement to be pretty useful and an uncomplicated complication. I prefer the arrangement on the Rolex caliber thought you do lose the quickset date. Keeping the second hand running and being able to move your hour hand forward or backward in time do indeed make it a travelers dream..

Again, big congrats on a really superb addition to your phenomenal collection. You say its a keeper for now... well should you chnge your mind (and I don't think you will) you know where to find me!
