Hey Mike:
Something's got to be wrong with your GMT MASTER II. Mine keeps near perfect time. I gain one min every three months or so. You should get it checked out. With my crazy travels for my day job, I got the watch to make use of the outer 24 hour dial for different time zones and keep the normal hands at Seattle time wherever I end up. It somewhat helps me to overcome the hardship of life-on-the road mentally.
I also have an old Omega Professional Speed Master - the original Moon watch - that was a special high school graduation gift. I have had for forty years... It's a totally manual watch that requires me to wind up every morning, but it kept relatively good time but not even close to the younger GMT Master II. My son used to ask me to take the watch off all the time so that he could play with it. He was very small... I used to tell him that I would give it to him when he graduates from college. That was many years ago and now he is just about to finish his degree so I'll have to send it off to Omega for cleaning and tuning. I had sent it off to the factory about twenty years ago for $250, and they sent the watch back to me looking new in a box and with a manual then. I would imagine it would cost at least double or more. But, if he can wear it for the next thirty years and hand it over to his son, it would aswesome...
