Unfortunately, BOTH of you have an error regarding your clocks.  You both think that General Relativity causes Time Dilation, which then allows you to accumulate differences of time.

Please see my http://mb-soft.com/public4/dilation.html    While remaining on Earth, and as long as you are familiar with buth the Time dilaltion formula and the Equivalency Principle formula, you will see that you can calculate both to amazing precision.  And they happen to be OPPOSITE, where General Relativity causes a "speeding of time".

Regarding your discussion, one or another clock can "get ahead" of the other, but they always catch up with each other, with only one exception, if one of the clocks is in a non-inertial, accelerating reference frame, where they WILL get different.

For the record, no, time does NOT pass att exactly the same rate everywhere.  For ten years, I have tried to get NASA and ESA to soft-land a Cesium clock on the Moon.  When then compared, the Earth clock will count 10,976 clicks MORE every hour than the identical clock on the Moon will count.  It is Einstein's thinking about gravitation and acceleration, and us then having two different gravitational fields.  (Einstein's formulas produced the 10,976 difference, so I am quite confident about it.
