What sort of budget you looking at?

Hello,
What’s your favorite GMT out there? I look for one I can wear with a suit but also not misplaced on holidays.
I look for a true GMT complication.
I like the Ulysse Nardin dual/ home time for instance but already have a Ulysse Nardin...
Any ideas? ;)

Tudor BB GMT for me. Also have a Sinn 857 but that's not a true GMT and is a grey colour due to the tegimented steel.

Thanks, will look at the tudor.
Budget up to 5k (eur), not in the hurry I can save...
Have a look as well at the Sinn 6099. More dressy looking but still exceptionally well made.

16710 is my favourite GMT
Explorer 2. Looks good anywhere.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
I really like the Rolex Explorer 2 (both dials) but have a thing against cyclops' so it's the Tudor BB GMT for me!
The Grand Seiko 9F quartz, SBGN004/5, look really good.
Always thought the Rolex were out of budget? And not convinced it would match nicely with a suit?
Thanks for the ideas!!
Panerai 1950 3 Days GMT Power Reserve Luminor PAM01537.
Stunning thing!
PAM looks big on a 16cm wrist, no? But I like both the explorer, the gmt and the PAM.
Grand Seiko SBGE201.
Costs £5500.
It’s spring drive, so a little different.
How about the Omega Great White?
I have several GMT’s, as I travel all the time, but the Great White is somehow always top of the pile.
PAM01537 (42mm)
PAM233 (44mm)
They look great but a bit pricey I think for my budget.
This Hamilton at the moment.....
Panerai Pam535, also 42mm, but may just stretch the budget pre-owned.
Ive always really liked the look of one of these, saw it in the flesh once at the Seiko boutique in London. Gorgeous.
Grand Seiko SBGJ201:
I do enjoy a good GMT. At the moment, I've been looking at ones that display the second time zone without simply using an additional hand.
One posted on the forum not too long ago was the Ulysse Nardin dual time. I love the dial layout and easy to adjust (which is a must). The other idea is maybe look for a world timer? Something say by Mont Blanc, JLC and LU Chopard?
Unpopular popular choice but the modern Rolex GMT BLRO is pretty special

I was going to suggest this, but then I recalled the SGBE015 - titanium, old branding and that fantastic spring drive movement:

Definite grail piece.

I don’t own one of these but has been on my radar for a while , which reminds me I need to post a wtb for one.
TAG Heuer
Formula 1 GMT Calibre 7 - WAZ211A.BA0875
Never really appealed to me until I saw one in the flesh .
I can second this suggestion made above and yes it is a true GMT
How about a classic 16750 Explorer II in 'polar' white guise?
Another GS would (will?) be my pick for the perfect GMT.
39.4 mm Spring Drive, but JDM only.
Zenith Doublematic and drop the mic...
This is the only GMT watch I've got. GS SBGJ021
On a similar note the Tag Heuer Carrera Twin Time will also tick that GMT box. I've had one as a daily for the last 10 years and the independent GMT hand came in handy during a trip to the US this year. Non cyclops date window and available in dark or light face options, too.
I quite like the Seiko Landmaster S EJ001 and SBEJ003. Quite different to most; titanium, 12 o'clock crown and a power reserve

I’ve always admired the 1953 Glycine Airman white face (cream)

The Omega SMP implementation works exactly the same as that on the Rolex GMT Master-II and Explorer-II in that it is the hour hand which jumps. Even though it is based on an ETA design like many other GMT watches, this is unique to Omega, the others use the 2893-2 which has the GMT hand jump.

MKII Key West? Not necessarily original in design, but they're bloody good!
