    Yeah it's Lizard. Came from Cousins for somewhere around £15.

    Of all the GMTs I've looked at, that is still the most likely contender. Such a crisp, clear display. Did you buy new or from SC?

    There is, but no bracelet. I can only do bracelets, I struggle with straps. Lovely watch though, proper 24 hour markers too which seems to be very rare.

    Popped out for pizza tonight and my wee gmt was on the wrist. I'm finding it hard to fault tbh despite being an itch scratch

    It's a lovely piece that. In the metal, how easy is it to locate the GMT hand at a quick glance? It seems quite dark when compared to the dial.

    Just what you need.
    For those who are arithmetically challenged. A quid at the car boot and no fear of being mugged !

    New, direct from Steinhart. It took 9 days in total to get here. The bracelet is very comfortable too although I feel it could be tapered a little more.

    Legibility isn't an issue. The gmt arrow is also lumed and diff shape so ez in the dark too.

    Well, I have to say that my search ended abruptly. I've gone for an Apple Watch, on which I can have primary time, secondary time, date, day and reminders all on the one face. It's only for a month, or as long as I can stand it.

    Sorted, and for £210!
