    You're Right!
    (some of them are not even good :),
    If we end traveling this route... What about.... 'Time Traveler' ?

    I'm with cpotters on this one, the watch could be called SOS and I'd be still grateful enough for the combination of classic style and functional perfection to want to own it.
    Open to ideas....Gentleman, have a great day!

    This...

    Meridian so far seems to fit
    maybe add a GMT or MKII to it.

    I really like the name "Key West." Sounds nice, sort of has the same regional feel as Kingston and Nassau.

    'Clipper Pilot GMT' - adding pilot removes mistaking it for a nail clipper. Pilot, because it was issued to pilots.

    I would like to see the GMT name go in one of two directions. If we wish to acknowledge its PanAm heritage ( without copyright infringement ) then :

    - PanAmerican

    If we wish to align to the convention set with the Kingston and Nassau then :

    - Key West

    I would be happy with either of the above.

    :-D

    I'm kinda' partial to the name Hemisphere Dancer. I'm sure Jimmy Buffett wouldn't mind Bill using the name for a watch if he gets one for himself.

    Lots of great suggestions.. got me thinking... harking back to the days of sail two class of ships fired my imagination years back.. The Wind Jammer and or The Bluenose. The more breeze there was the more sail they lofted and the quicker they made port. Speed, GMT, navigation, safety all at play under those great sails. Then there was the racing...
