Can't get both? Actually, I got tired of the base faster than I did the Rad.

I just got my GMTc in. Here are some quick iPhone pics

not that it matters. don't like the bezel. wear it in good health.

I'm still saving on my first crown. glad it's not a reverso. pun intended. horrido

congrats! one of my favorites. Mine is on my wrist now as well.

I like both the Radiomir and Luminor a lot. One thing you might want to consider is the screwed down crown on the Radiomir. I'm sure it works fine and I don't believe I've ever read on the internet about crown threads stripping on a Radiomir, but I'd be at least slightly uncomfortable at the prospect of having to unscrew the crown every couple of days to wind up the watch. (I have stripped the threads on a screw-down crown before, albeit on a much lesser watch) The Luminor crown guard, on the other hand, is such a pleasure to use I almost find myself wanting to open and close it for no reason.

Like on the sub, classic!

Congrats on the GMT C !!! A very nice choice!  Wear it in good health and enjoy it.

Recommendations for a gold watch < $2K?

I would go for something vintage in JLC.

Please excuse my ignorance, why is the extra hand in the wrong place v the hour hand?

Yeah some good stuff on here. Personally I like unfussy watches that just have 3 hands, a date display and that's it, preferably with a nice leather strap too.

It's a gmt = dual time zones

FF, understood.  Then the extra hand should be in the same place as the hour hand on the dial, correct?  And it's not, it's on 51.75 and the hour hand is on 58.5.  Both should be on the same minute marker, imho.

Oh wait I see what you mean.
