Brice - These "classic" pieces tend to remind me that I need not get wrapped around the axle regarding case sizes that need to be in the 43mm + category...This classic Omega at ~42mm does wear very easily on the wrist (I'm very much reminded of this when switching between this one and one of the larger divers in the 44-46mm category)...but there is something very nice about "classics" like these (although I think 42mm is about as small as I want to go)...I think of the Doxa cases that you have in both the Sub 750T size and the Sub 1000T size...who knows I might start considering any and all case sizes for the Doxa series as well (with a 42mm minimum).
Mark - Thank you very much for the detailed response...I knew you were an Omega fan (I actually thought that you were one of several 3T'ers with a 'Great White' already). Thanks also for the extra detail on the comparison to the Rolex GMT II which is known to be the standard in GMT watches...I had assumed that the Rolex caliber may have offered the advantage of being able to quickset the date as well, but had not really researched the Rolex GMT calibers like the cal. 3185. I wouldn't hold your breath on the "keeper for now" comment...I've only worn the piece for 24 hours or so, but I'm really starting to bond with this one (You are the first in line, however, if I ever change my mind).
