A bit of a sore point, as I currently have none.

Although I don't have a problem with the size of the BLNR.

Matt's Dreadnought was pretty cool and a Pepsi GMT is a classic.

I also like the Sinn 857 UTC:

And for two sub $1,000 choices, Steinhart Vintage GMT and Citizen Nighthawk (used to own that one, and you can catch a glimpse of my collection before joining DWC):

Mike, don't have a GMT, and definitely the ones the guys are showing
are favorites. :headbang: :salute: So I just found a few others that caught the eye to
add in for you...

You're a big fan of GMT's, it seems, Wayne. One I like that doesn't get mentioned often is the old IWC UTC watch.

I am. My quartz SMP functions well as a travel watch with its independent hour hand. Another true GMT I'd love to have is a transitional Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 /3186.

I'd have to say PAM233. I like that you can hide the GMT hand when not in use. And the domed crystal is just gorgeous.

AFAIK most GMT watches allow you to "hide" the second time zone hand no?

The 233 is a gorgeous watch. If I were in the market it'd definitely have to have the "DOT" though. :thumbsup:

The second zone hand of an ETA 2893-2 movement (Steinhart Vintage GMT, Sinn 857 UTC also, I believe) does a full run of the dial in 24 hours, so you can't hide it behind the first zone hand (which goes around the dial two times in a 24 hour period).

The 233 is a beauty but probably a bit too big...
