·I've also had my eye on one of these, maybe a bit too much $$ for what you get, but i'd look at it as a traveling watch and one that I wouldn't feel bad about beating up, and/or somehow getting "lost" going through security.

·LOL, only 2 watches? Just razzing you.
I too am looking for a GMT, not having much luck so I will be following this thread for tips.
The Omega @Jones in LA has is pretty nice. I would buy that one if the bezel was all black.

·I second the Seamaster 50th GMT. They come up often, so I'm sure you could find one in good condition if you're patient. But, there are lots of other fine suggestions on this thread as well.

Hello,
My daily driver is a Speedmaster and that is not likely to change anytime soon. However, in an effort to get down to a nice two watch collection I am looking for suggestion regarding a GMT that I can use as a second / travel watch. It can be modern or vintage (since vintage these days seems to be 10 or more years old). Here is what I am looking for:
Time / GMT (jumping hour hand)
41mm or smaller
Dressy / Sports
At least 150m WR
Pre-owned is fine
Less than $3000 USD
All suggestions welcome, but tell me why. Thanks!
Since you didn’t say it had to be mechanical, I recommend the Grand Seiko quartz GMT model:
https://www.grand-seiko.com/us-en/collections/SBGN003G
It hits all your points, although list is $200 over your max. But I bet you could get it for under $3k. It’s on my list for my next watch after handling one in person at my AD. I was considering this or a used Explorer II, but the GS is half the price and so much better looking.

·Halios from Vancouver BC has gained lots of traction and I believe the have a bezel that acts as a GMT which has gained plenty of momentum!

·While not fitting OP’s specs, how do you all feel about this one from Certina at only $600 ?

·The Steinhart Ocean 39 GMT might make sense. No jumping hour per most microbrands using the ETA:

·Even at flipper prices the Zodiac Aerospace GMT and the Yema Superman GMT fit the bill. (The Yema isn't out yet but I expect many to be flipped the way they all are nowadays)
Also - not only is the Tudor GMT not under 41mm, it's also not under 3k. You can't buy one new right now or for a while, so you'll be paying flipper prices for that, which stand at between 3500-4k US.

·Thanks! I have heard some really good things about Farer. I have also looked seriously at the Monta Atlas. The only thing that holds me back is that to me the asking price seems to be a bit high for micros without much of a track record. Having said that, Worn and Wound, among others seems to be pretty high on these.
Anyone own a Christopher Ward C65 GMT? This is also a watch I have considered, and it costs much less than the Farer or Monta. Nevertheless, 1K USD is a big ask and I want to make sure it is a solid watch before I put it on the very short list.
Hey there,
I owned the C65 GMT Pepsi when it first came out a few months back - I kept it for a couple of months. It was pretty nice - I liked how slim it was. Definitely try to buy it used if you can, or look for a promotion as CW tends to have sales from time to time.
Overall it was a beautiful watch - I loved the aluminum Pepsi bezel and the red GMT hand. Only thing was the lug design just left something lacking for me - I think I was too used to the size of the lugs on my 2220.80 and my PO8900.... so going back to such a slim watch didn’t work for me.

·Just for my education, why would you choose a 4 handed GMT that only tracks 2 timezones over a 3 hander with an adjustable 12 or 24 hour bezel? As far as I can see, the functionality is the same i.e 2 timezones, either in 12 or 24 hr time (ok 24 hour time is rarer - see Glycine Airman), The setting is if anything a bit easier when all you have to do is move a bezel. Perhaps aesthetics is a reason?
When it comes to 3 timezones, I agree 4 hands is the way to go 😉

·I have taken a serious look at the B&R V2-93. I love the look, but it does have some shortcomings as far as my desired specs are concerned. First, the WR is only 100m. As a travel watch I would really like more WR because it may encounter lots of water play. There is also no jumping hour hand. It houses an ETA 2893-2 (jumping 24hr hand) which can be found in several other watches at a much lower cost. The hour hand thing is not a dealbreaker, but if I am going to pay 2K+ it sure would be nice!
Because I really like the retro styling, size, and readability of the Bell & Ross, I am willing to listen to arguments about why this watch should be considered over Farer, Monta, and others that offer the same, or arguably better specs for much less (Farer Lander; 100m WR, ETA 2893-2 @ $1425 USD, Monta Atlas; 150m WR, Sellita SW 300 @ $1420 until days ago, $1575 today).
If nothing else, we are dissecting the GMT watches on the market that fill this space. I hope this is helping others. It is certainly helping me. Thanks!

I love it! If I could find a good pre-owned one under 3K USD I would be very tempted. Sell me yours! LOL!
