Mileata review
Just to let you guys know Two Broke Watch Snobs did a review of the Quartz GMT prototype. <<Link>>
Re: Mileata review
I like that a lot, good work Graeme! The dial is much more legible than the original M1/M2 version.
When will these land?

I think it's a good decision to ditch the fixed bars. This will look great on a canvas from Drew or Art.

Re: Mileata review
I actually like the idea of fixed bars. I normally wear ZULU straps and have had springbar failures. So, Graeme, if you plan on ditching a review copy with the fixed bars, please hit me up first. I dig it.
Some people just have a way with words, and other people … oh … not have way.

Re: Mileata review
Depends on demographic you are targeting. If you are trying to appeal to us watch nerds, I agree. If you are really promoting it as a tough, no nonsense military watch, then leave the fixed bars.CGSshorty wrote:I think it's a good decision to ditch the fixed bars.

There are only so many of the second group who will spend $500 on a watch.tattoo chef wrote:Depends on demographic you are targeting. If you are trying to appeal to us watch nerds, I agree.

Hi Graeme
Is the automatic movement a 2824-2 ?
I did not see it mentioned on the website. Also will a
non fixed strap bar models be available?
Thanks for a great new watch!

Don't have a date yet for the new ones, and the movement I'm using in the autos is the Miyota 9015. ;-)
Mileata review
Just wanted to bump this one up as I got to handle the GMT for a couple weeks.
Super tough watch that I never needed to baby or worry about. I loved the fixed lugs for this. I took it on a bunch of skydives and didn't need to worry about losing it. I love the tight fit of the bezel for keeping out debris, I had it at the dropzone a couple weekends and it gets very sandy and dusty out there. Never affected the action at all.
I love the GMT function because I'm on the road a lot with the AF Parachute Team. It's nice to set the GMT hand for wherever I am in the country and keep my home time set where it is. The watch kept very good time while I had it, no complaints there.
The coating held up like a champ. I didn't baby it and it showed no signs of wear at all when I returned it. It was perfect to wear with any of my uniforms and wasn't super flashy, even though I received many compliments. Just an all around great watch. I really enjoyed my time with it. Perfect military watch.
Here are a few pics from some jumps with it.

Re: Mileata review
Cool shots!
Re: Mileata review
Damn! Those are certainly some wrist shots that not many others can capture. Great stuff.
Re: Mileata review
Nice . Seems like the perfect watch for that sort of thing, i.e. jumping out of airplanes into baseball stadiums.

Re: Mileata review
