We need a close up of that dial buddy!

Thought someone here might be keen?

Intermission watch. G10 Gs Sapphire. Pretty content. Gonna order a couple new straps to rotate with.

Anyone recommend or know of any good no date gmt watches which is dressy rather than a diver

So very tidy

I did try having a hunt of this but didn't find this exact reference. Is it quartz?? Seemed to be a few references with the same script type that were quartz.

Closest I could find but no mention of reference, so not much help I'm afraid!

This come to mind but got date;

Why no date? I doubt you’ll find many, since it’s quite useful on a GMT. Though IIRC the Habring one has no date.

There was one other I saw (apart from that Mont Blanc) recently but now I can’t remember what it was.

Edit: this is the Habring Erwin Globetrotter.

A nice looking cheap Mido here and a couple of nice mid price all with dates though although the date is subtle on the Mido and i think the Sinn is a beaut

On the Sinn, is the marker at 3 shorter than the others? … it looks like they planned to put the date window at three .. but then thought, “nah, let’s fuck the whole thing up”

Now you've pointed it out it is shorter like they moved the date window as an afterthought but looks alright on these

Thanks for that.

So the reason for no date is due to my other watches not having one which will part of my rotation. Along with WFH so not always getting worn and so just set the time and go.

Going for a 3 Watch setup, to join the Hanhart and BB58

Good luck stopping a 3

Hence why a dress watch GMT and I should have the bases covered

This is the MB

Having all bases covered has little to do with how many watches you may end up buying. There will always be more bases. They're worse than bikes.

True but after selling mine previously and now buying again I am doing it differently, so hence what has turned out to be the 3 watch approach.

Plus I have done well with just one bike since getting the OG+ for over a year now

You know as a cyclist the rule is always n+1

Try for 3

(Edit: late to the party BUT

)

Haha, see what you’re doing there but this force is stronger here

dress watch GMT

JLC Reverso Duoface then?

In seriousness, do check out that MB. I just vaguely remember looking at it in a store and being quite disappointed with how it looked. Maybe my expectations were not appropriately calibrated.

What about a Heuer Autavia Chronometer GMT.

Still look like a diver tho

Found these today browsing. I really like the white one. Pricey at rrp as they are the quartz but there's a brand new night sky one on ebay for a good price.

Because its got an external rotating bezel? A practical way to have an adjustable day indicator is seen as a diving watch because its similarities to a timing bezel for diving???
