5kx GMT models
5kx GMT models
Interesting link about some affordable 4r based auto GMT seiko 5’s coming out. Modders will do some interesting things with these.
Re: 5kx GMT models
Wow! Very cool. I wonder if the hour and 24-hour hands are independently adjustable.

Re: 5kx GMT models
I noticed that it's date only (no day), so if they leveraged the day complication to drive the 24-h hand, the 24-h hand might be independently adjustable.gonzomantis wrote: ↑Sat Apr 23, 2022 8:32 amIndependently adjustable would be really cool, but I doubt they invested that much for this line.
I think there's an ETA GMT movement based on the 2836-2 that works like this.

These may be using the same 4r movement if I remember correctly that was in the sharp edge gmts.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Re: 5kx GMT models
I didn’t notice that it’s date-only before. I like it even more now. We’ll, except for the cyclops.
Re: 5kx GMT models
I'm really really stoked for this. Love seiko, don't have any GMTs, and don't want to spend huge money on something. This sounds right up my alley!

Re: 5kx GMT models
This is pretty awesome…
I only have one GMT as it’s not a function I care as much about.
This is a perfect travel companion.

Re: 5kx GMT models
Sounds like it’s a “caller” movement (24h hand moves independently), at least according to the guy that runs NTH watches. Makes no difference to me.
I’m in Hawaii on a working vacation and brought a couple of watches. Diver (of course) and a quartz guy to leave set to home time so I know when to call my family. This Seiko 5 would be awesome in my opinion

Re: 5kx GMT models
Ooh nice, yowza, those really are something guys !!
So many times are looking for a GMT, but more often than not
they are a touch expensive. However, these kind of take care
of that problem, and look great doing it.
The orange really grabs you. So cool !
Thanks so much for the news !!!

Re: 5kx GMT models
I really like this model. Not a fan of the cyclops but I am sure there will be after market crystals of higher quality.
Re: 5kx GMT models
I saw a few of these in my local independent jewellers.
they look great. But man are they expensive.

A mechanical GMT for under $500?

Re: 5kx GMT models
Picked up an orange one. I really like it, no complaints at all considering the price.

It was £549 GBP.
I am sure they can be picked up cheaper online - plus he is an independent Jeweller.
I thought that was steep.
