Somethings missing
Two things that you will not find in my current collection is a white dial and a GMT.
For some reason I never felt drawn to these two but after seeing a few post on WC I’m slowly being swayed to take a chance.
Being I’m still on the fence, I don’t want to spend a great deal so I’m looking for suggestions on a reasonable budget option. I’m currently looking at the San Martin in the photo and I would prefer a fixed bezel over a rotating one.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Just recently got sucked into the rabbit hole of collecting watches. My taste has changed from divers to more of a field/GADA type watch.

That's the correct comb white dial plus GMT. I use to love white dial watches. I now have noticed at certain angles it's tough to see the time. But maybe I'm just getting old 😂🤣🤓
Maybe this one from Seiko - SBSC009?

I know what you mean, I have the same issue with my eyes. Some dials, if they are too busy, takes me a while to adjust to reading the time. 😂😂

I really like that one. Been considering it but it’s not easy to get being in Australia.
It's a GMT so it going to have a rotating bezel.
Here mine. Got it below $140 on AliExpress.

Nice 👍
I’ve never Been disappointed with any of the San Martens I’ve purchased, and I probably got at least 6 to 8 at last count. I always felt like I got more than I paid for their quality is impeccable at their price point.

That’s good to hear. If I go with the San Martin I would want to be confident in it’s quality.
What about the Pagani Design Explorer 2? It’s not bad for 100$. Stainless steel, sapphire glass, ok lume but it comes with a Pearl movement that it’s a gamble to be honest. https://www.paganidesignwatch.com/pagani-design-pd-1682/

I considered Pagani Design but the cyclops date window put me off. Other than that it looks great 👍
Buy it... These are awesome watches that will rival and in some cases out do much larger brands. SM won't disapont. Their QQ is exceptional.

Bro...Go to your local watch store and try on a watch with a white dial and white filled lume hands with either a silver or black trim. Put it on and play with the angles that store should have plenty of lights. That the best way to determine whether you'll like this colorway 🤙🏽

Good suggestion, I’ll try to do that soon.
