Recommend a GMT

TDBK

According to the manual, the Sinn 856/857 UTC movement does not have a jumping main hour hand: the 24-hour UTC hand can be adjusted independently of the main hour hand, but the main hour hand cannot be adjusted independently of the UTC hand. So if you travel between time zones and wish to keep the main hour hand on local time and have the 24-hour UTC hand point to your home time (or UTC), you need to adjust both times (and it will hack the movement while setting, so if you want precision, you'll need to set the watch as well).

I believe this is the behavior of all watches which use the common ETA GMT movements.

Another possibility is the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer, which has both jump hour and a novel adjustment mechanism where the main hour hand is jumped forward and back, including date adjustment in both directions, by rotating the bezel.

This one is on my radar. Looks cool, I need to see it in person.

You have a very low bar for what constitutes as trolling. He's merely stating an opinion, which last time I checked, is the purpose of a forum.

But I can see how you might have missed that since you have 30 posts and he has ~7k...

Perhaps, and perhaps not. The guy with the most posts gets your admiration? This is why I limit my activity on forums. The guy you so admire comes in with a deuschy comment about machismo and irrational though being the basis of my requirements and the forum groupies lap up the derailment of what was a pretty interesting thread. Par for the course. I have yet to read a thread on the popular watch forums where some swinging Richard doesn't chime in just to hear himself talk. As for 7K posts, I say get a life. Unless this is your business that is a sad commentary indeed, and just short of the guy who is sitting in his room wearing a bathrobe waiting for his mother to call him to dinner while he gets in #7001. Later.

Enough of the dick swinging, let's get back to GMT watches and leave the broken records behind. Anyways, this thread has sparked my interest in GMT watches and I went out and picked up this little number today, really liked the 58 model as well.

I like the Zelos Horizon GMT. 40mm...about $850. The owner is great. I had an issue with the original one I ordered and he overnighted a new one for me and all I had to do was then ship the one with a warranty issue back to him (who does that?!). The one I have is the adventurine dial

How about this classic Seamaster

For the budget - I think the new Tudor GMT trumps all, although a 42mm, If I remember correctly. You’ll get a brand new watch for your budget also.
