My 1969 GMT will outlive me. On second thought, I gave it to my stepson 5 years ago when he graduated college and he could destroy an anvil with his barefeet. However, in the decades that I had it, I shot a lot of ducks, dove, quail, turkeys, and skeet with it on and it kept on ticking. I have a couple of Luminox watches, one for dress and one for everything else, and I'd rather have one of these watches than any other watch, including the old GMT. I can read the dials in pitch dark and they keep great time.
