Well there is a GMT you don't see every day. I didn't even know that was a variation.
Nice!

It is anniversary edition. Quit being made in 2019 or 20 I believe.

This reminds me of a forum for a fancy sports car LOL. A Bronco match would be more of a Casio G-Shock, Luminox 3001, or Marathon TSAR.

Yeah, I'm tempted to get a Mudmaster whenever my BL finally arrives. Seems a more appropriate match.

I do like to pair my watch to my car.
For the Bronco, if I'm just running around, I'll wear my Garmin Fenix 3HR. I do use the Bronco to get me to my trail runs, so it just fits.

If we're going out or to see friends in the Bronco, I'll wear my classic 1973 Rolex GMT 1675.

If I'm driving the 911, I'll go for either the ceramic Daytona or the classic panda 6263 P/N Daytona (it was my grandfathers watch).
I don't have the red Sub anymore.

From one GTI driver to another (former I see)....DANG!
And specs on the 911? I spy some yellow dials with matching stitching...

Very nice! A true watch collector.

I had the GTI since new and did a TON of work on it. Full APR (IS38, DP, IC, CAI - so about 400hp), JRZ RS1 Coil-overs, Stoptech BBK, Peliquin LSD, SuperPro lower control arms, sway bars, short-shifter, Volk TE37SL. It was a blast! I sold it to a buddy of mine.

The 911 is a 2017 C2, manual, Agate Grey Metallic with black interior.
It came with sports exhaust and the sport chrono package. The person that leased it spec'd the yellow gauges!
I added the alcantara GT3 steering wheel with yellow stitching. I have a matching shift boot too.
Other mods include:
Tial IC, Inlet tubes/elbows/hoses/plenum
APR diverter valve - yes, there's a "whoosh" sound
BMC air filter
Numeric Shifter/cables - epic!
Numeric pedals
Soul headers and sport cats
Custom Soul 4" tips - Achtung HeiB (warning hot)
Bilstein B16 coil-overs (lowered to GT3 specs)
AP Racing BBK
Litespeed Racing custom designed forged magnesium wheels (20x9F and 20x11.5R)
Michelin PS4S (255/35F and 315/30R)
BBi control arm links
yellow seat belts
full front PPF with custom R stripes
Zunsport front grills
Rennline aluminum floor mats
CF dash trim (the aluminum was blinding me!)
Custom Sport Chrono Gauge Face
Stud Conversion
Titanium Lug Nuts

Dang @Bronco69 you don't mess around. Both the GTI and 991.2 builds are top notch!
I too have had my 2015 GTI since 2015 (and had a MK6 for a few years before it) and for the last couple years have considered getting rid of it but just....can't lol. It's the perfect daily. However I have left mine totally stock.
I'm holding out for MY 911 hah. Which for the last 15 years has been a 964. But these days and at this rate, it is going to be a Tiptronic convertible 996

I didn't consider selling the GTI till I got the 911. Then, it seemed kind of redundant.
Every single time I drive the 911 it's an event. I am over the moon happy with this car. It just ups the fun factor by quite a bit (I live for the curves - going fast in a straight line gets a bit boring for me).

996's don't get much love for some reason. They have a ton of character and are great drivers cars. They're the opposite of your GTI though. Light on the nose so it's a different driving style. The steering feedback is fantastic though. They are a bargain though, plus plenty of aftermarket support to make it handle much better. Starting with a 300HP NA flat-6 is not a bad way to go.
I like all fast cars. I'm not too loyal to a fault.

Oh don't get me wrong I would be perfectly happy with a 996. Wouldn't be my first choice, but a 996.1 with an Aero kit wouldn't be bad at all! Throw in a nice suspension, new wheels with some sticky tires, exhaust, half cage and I'd be set!

Nice! I have the aviator version of the day date auto and love it. Hamilton makes a great not crazy expensive option.

My passion for mechanical watches runs so deep, I made it my career!

I am the GM for both Breitling and Patek Philippe for the US Virgin Islands. If any fellow Bronco owners EVER need anything, please feel free to PM me.

I could keep going for days, but you get the idea.

Why yes in fact I would love a 5326G - preferably at a discount!
