Charles, et. al.,
 
Recommend reading the thread on these watches on F-Chat before purchasing.  Think - "You get what you pay for".  And perhaps not even that.
 
Eric,
 
I also like the G-Ps I have, but rarely wear them anymore.  They seem to need servicing as often as a Ferrari, and, dollar for dollar, are much more expensive to service than a Ferrari.  And don't even get me started on their renegging on the "lifetime warranty" they promised when giving us the 360GT championship watches....  It's why my new "daily driver" watches are a very nice Tag Heuer Carrera and Citizen Eco-Drive (w/ radio control and perpetual calendar!).  And make no mistake - I made quite sure that they knew that my new watch is a Tag!
 
FWIW, YMMV, yadda yadda yadda.....
