NWA: Most affordable Traveler GMT yet?

NWA: I teased this yesterday but my Traska Venturer GMT V2 just arrived. Was able to size the bracelet myself and throw it on the wrist.

The big deal (IMHO) about this watch is that it's equipped with the New Miyota 9075 Automatic GMT jump hr movement with 42 hr power reserve at a price point of $700, making this the most affordable mechanical GMT with a True Travelers movement yet on the market.

Great looking design that comes in 4 colors and perfect dimensions for skinny wrists: 38.5mm case, 46mm lug to lug and 10mm thickness with 150m WR and screw down crown. Plus it comes with a second crown that controls the internal rotating 24 bezel if you want to track a 3rd time zone.

Overall a fantastic watch for the money, my only real gripe is the feel of the screw down crown isn't great, the thread action feels a little rough when I screw it down, hopefully this will not become an issue later.

Someone @simonswatch a few posts before (after) you just bought the same watch in white. You two must have a lot in common. Nice looking watch.

Nice looking watch! I have been considering getting a GMT with either the 9075 or the NH34. I am leaning towards the new Bulova GMT that uses the 9075 movement, especially now that it is on sale for $700. Phoibos also has a GMT with the NH34 for $400 that I am also considering.

The Bulova GMT is nice but at 43mm is a little too big for me and many wearers with skinny wrists

I already own a Traska(Freediver) and on both screw down are smooth.

Ps:On my screwed down watches, to screw, i turn backward and then forward to not mess up the thread.
