The TAG has a much nicer bezel. Too bad the carbon fiber hairspring didn't work out, that would have been something.

Yes. I like their chronographs, especially the 1964 Carrera re-edition.

Follow-up question: Any alternatives to these two?

(Slim, vintage-style, ETA/alt based GMTs, could be office or true GMTs… etc.) Would love to hear your thoughts.

Yema GMT? Not sure if it checks any of those boxes but that is just one that comes right to mind.

Not sure how old list is but a good guide of similar watches.

The 2 GMTs in my humble collection are both gshocks both solar and radio sync.

Great feedback so far from everyone. Very helpful to hear your thoughts.

I’m keeping a tally, and also considering other options as outlined by our friends right above.

Many thanks once again.

I actually think this one looks pretty good, so yeah, I would wear it.

For the a nice GMT I'll throw my broken record response out there and say you ought to look at getting an old Accutron Astronaut.

Not really my cup of tea, but enjoy it in good health 👍

If choice is only between those two then Tag for me. I much prefer the dial and bezel.

I would need to see them on my wrist, neither one screams 'buy me', but I'm not the one plunking down the cash.

Again, this is a hypothetical situation where you must leave with one of the two watches…which one is it?
