Mileata review

[Graeme]

Just to let you guys know Two Broke Watch Snobs did a review of the Quartz GMT prototype. <<Link>>

[hoppyjr]

I like that a lot, good work Graeme! The dial is much more legible than the original M1/M2 version.

When will these land?

Mike did a great review on this one. Congrats on it Graeme.

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

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.

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.

There are only so many of the second group who will spend $500 on a watch.

Great watch Graeme. And thanks for checking out the review guys!

[deepcdvr]

Cool indeed. I want one... going to have to move something out first

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!

Hi Dante,
Don't have a date yet for the new ones, and the movement I'm using in the autos is the Miyota 9015. ;-)

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.

Cool shots!

[matt.wu]

Damn! Those are certainly some wrist shots that not many others can capture. Great stuff.

[Chocodove]

Nice . Seems like the perfect watch for that sort of thing, i.e. jumping out of airplanes into baseball stadiums.

[i29alpha]

Cool shots!

Thank you!

Really cool testimony on rough use. Thanks for sharing.

Can I wear it in the shower? ...while washing dishes?

These photos should be the response to all of those dumb questions.

Definitely a rough use timepiece.

Thanks a lot!

It was Coors Field for the Rockies vs White Sox game.
