  • I'm enjoying it. Cheap(ish) and cheerful, it's exactly what you think it is, an SKX GMT. The jubilee bracelet is fine, as good as it needs to be (solid end links!) and doesn't pull hairs. Case finishing is actually quite nice. Bezel is a smooth friction one, which is fine, though I probably would have preferred a bidirectional 24/48 click one. It's got some visual pizzazz going on - with the bracelet obvs, but also the lower half of the bezel is grey but kind of mirrored, and it has a date cyclops and a heavily bevelled crystal so you end up with quite a lot happening visually (the orange one is probably OTT/amazing). Will try it on one of my rubber dive straps at some point, just not gotten round to it.

    I didn't instantly bond with it (I got it the same week as the white dial SPB313, which got all the wrist time) but it's definitely grown on me.

    If you get on with the SKX sizing - relatively wide and thick but with short lugs - I think it's great value. AFAIK the next cheapest mechanical GMT is the Tissot one, which is twice the price.

    There's one for sale upthread btw.
