WatchBox video (Jack Forster): Is a Luxury Watch Worth It?
Dauphine hands, 3 ways
NWA: Lorca Model No. 1 GMT
Recent Comments
Hardlex isn't bad at all, and is entirely appropriate for Seiko's lower-priced tool watches. It's tough and reliable, as long as you don't mind scratching or nicking your watch. I have a few deep gouges in the crystal of my Sumo--I don't even remember where I got them from--but I don't mind them and won't bother to try to remove them. In my mind, it shows what the watch has gone through and gives it some unique character. (That said, I wouldn't feel the same way if I scratched the crystal on one of my fancier watches!)
Not a problem, and good luck. If you’re willing to be patient, I expect that many more new inexpensive, sub-40mm GMT watches will be released this year (continuing the trend from last year). The inexpensive Miyota 9075 movement continues to be a game changer, and the trend back to smaller, mid-sized watches makes more “small” GMT choices inevitable.
The Lorca Model No. 1 GMT is 36mm. I have this watch and it’s a beautifully designed timepiece — it’s elegant and vintage-inspired, and doesn’t look quite like anything else on the market. Highly recommended.
I believe that Farer also offers a good 36mm GMT watch.
