GMT Contenders

Hello all,

I want to buy a gmt. I’m looking at Hodinkee Mido, CW Sealander and the Trasca Traveller. Which one do you prefer and why? Thank you.

I really like the Mido, but I don't know if I can do 44mm.  Haven't tried it on so I', not sure, but that seems a little excessive.  The Traska looks great, and if it didn't have a second crown, they'd have my money already.  I may still get one, but I'll need to give the second crown some thought.  The CW is my current top contender assuming I don't put my big-boy pants on and get something more expensive.  I've always liked the clean, modern look of CW divers.

So yeah, I'm no help here.  Good luck!

EDIT: I just noticed that the Hodinkee Mido is 40.5mm...you should totally get that.

I definitely prefer the CW. They’re clean, single-crowned, and I really like the green one.

I had a CW C63 and liked it, just not as much as I liked the three hander C63... I think you can't go wrong with a CW in that price range, their finishing is better than anything else I've handled for the price.
