Favorite GMTs?
I’ve been into GMTs recently. I found that these three watches really stood out to me.
That Nodus/Raven, while being a little monochromatic, is, in my opinion, the best GMT under $1000.
The Longines is a great option as well and I love the full Arabic-numeral dial paired with that beautiful bevel along the side of the case.
Finally, that Tudor is way too chunky, however those colors are just amazing.
Just been interested in this recently and curious what others like in GMTs and what you guys think of the new Nodus/Raven Trailtrekker?

I am seriously considering doing a reservation for the artic dial Traska Venturer Sunday. I am genuinely curious about the Nodus Contrail.
My favorite 3 GMTs
Look into Zelos for their unique designs. Grand Seiko are elegant, even their quartz watches. And Farer makes bright colorful designs.

That Traska is awesome, I have their Commuter and their quality is pretty great, specifically the bracelet has been amazing.
The Longines is, in my opinion, the runaway winner. 🏆

Love Farer and I certainly need to look into Zelos a little more. How would you say the fit/finish of Zelos stacks up to the other micros in that price range? (Traska, Nodus, Baltic, etc)
That Longines Zulu looks great
Lorier Hydra SIII or Elliot Brown Beachmaster NIVO or Timex Q GMT for me

Love that Lorier!
I really like the muted look of the Nodus. The only thing that spoils it for me is the bright yellow GMT hand, but I just don't like yellow. I think it's tied with the #zelos Mako GMT for best under $1K.
The #longines Spirit Zulu might be my favorite with the full Arabics and nicely matched color palette.
Forgot to add the picture.

I love that the SSK gets some love with those heavy weights up above!
I've had a couple of GMTs but soon moved them on because a. I have no need for one and 2 😉, the extra hour hand frustrated me when having a quick glance for the time.
Favourite ATM and probably for the foreseeable future is the Explorer 2.
This is mine
The Zulu Time is a great option if you can look past the self-attributed 5-star Amazon rating on the dial ... Otherwise, if you're willing to stretch the budget a little, I would go for the Tudor. Personally, my favorite GMT is the GMT Master II.

I'm planning to get the Bottle Green Venturer myself!
TBH GMT complications are a kind of a feature without any clear benefit for me but they are kinda cool.
The GMT watch that I like the most is probably my Glycine Airman No. 1. There's really nothing like it and it's the only watch that I own that ever got noticed.
I've been very into Longines lately, that GMT is very nice
The BBPro has been my travel grab and go for a while now.
I love that two tone Tudor. I agree it's thick, but I still think about it often. Fingers crossed a thinner METAS version will be revealed next week.
I love my two GMT-Master’s. #126720vtnr “Sprite” & #126719blro0002 “Superman”

The Zulu is really a beauty! At a reasonable price
Big fan of the Oris BCPP Worldtimer. Don't see it much either.
I am currently torn between getting a Black Bay Pro or the new Longines Hydroconquest GMT (black).
The new longines spirit line: $3000 frontal/top view, $300 side profile.
This is new for me and it’s a great solution for travel - grab and go high accuracy quartz
