Looking for a GMT under 2k that has some refinement. Many GMTs I find the designs lacking or dimensions poor. Is there a better option on the market than this Christopher Ward Dune GMT? Looking for white/black dials, sapphire crystal, under 41mm, not 14mm thick, etc

Lorier Hyperion is waaaay under that price tag and is 10.7 mm w/o crystal, 12.7 with.
Granted it is acrylic.
Looks pretty refined to me, check out @chronografan , he has some FANTASTIC pics.

The Lorier looks great but am a little sketched out with the acrylic. Im looking at getting a 50% travel job and not sure if it would hold up, they are also sold out and would have to buy second hand
CW Sealander GMT comes in 36 and 39mm. Quick release bracelets with micro adjustments.
I am looking in the same market and the Dune is definitely very high up there, also Farer's gmt Landers series and the new Seiko GMT Alpinist, but in the last few years the choice for affordable gmts (with a sapphire crystal and a good movement) is so wide.

I've run mine pretty hard, like harder than some would feel comfortable with wearing an auto through, held up fine.
Polywatch cleans up any swirls/scratches easy enough.
Acrylic scratches easier, it doesn't shatter/break easier.
Here's my Neptune SIII, worn it the most of all my stuff, fall of '21 was purchase date.
Downside is yes, not in stock. The Hydra is, but wasn't the style going for.
After seeing them in the #microtournament I'd look at Monta too.
Can't go wrong with CW tho.
Maybe…
Not sure if these are still open for order, but during the tournament I zeroed in on the Traska Venturer. I just popped over an it looks like the order window has closed. I loved the internal 24hr bezel on this one.

Im a bit shaken up on internal bezels after getting an alpinist and the slightist bump on the crown would move the bezel…
Traska GMT $700 new, latest iteration has 150m WR, 44hr PR, Miyota 9075 jump hr GMT movement, internal rotating 24h bezel, and great wearing dimensions, 38.5mm and less than 11 mm thick
Absolutely love this Seiko Alpinist SPB409 that has specs right in your desires!
Limited edition Seiko Alpinist GMT white dial. SPB 409
Check out this puppy:
Mido Ocean Star Heritage GMT
Monta Atlas or Grand Seiko 9F GMT if you don’t mind high accuracy quartz
#traska #venturer #gmt is an amazing watch for $720.
I can recommend one of these, just discontinued so maybe available for different prices if you can find one. Yes it’s quartz, but the accuracy is fantastic and it has a perpetual calendar https://www.thbaker.co.uk/longines-mens-conqueset-v-h-p-watch-l3-718-4-96-9?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaignid=20811275000&utm_campaign=&utm_term=&adid=682621025519&addisttype=gpla_with_promotion&matchtype=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoPOwBhAeEiwAJuXRhzI89Hg7Vt_Ac4nYLVMJjolFexgrMXbV1oZw9JDTmD3oxL0ldYkzbBoCXxAQAvD_BwE
The Alpina GMT with a modified SW330 which makes it an almost true GMT:
@BraedenCounts I think I actually like this…
You? Like a CW!?!? Who are you!!!?

Thanks man 😁 I would say the Hyperion is pretty robust and Acrylic has been used fot decades. It wont chunk or shatter like sapphire and scratches can be buffed on the fly with a dab of polywatch. But I haven’t had any scratches on my acrylics yet tbh.
Check out Gavox! Full disclosure, I own a Longitude and love it.
I have the Dune (non GMT). I've been very impressed with its overall quality. Christopher Ward makes great watches. It also has a 5 year warranty. You can't really go wrong with CW.
I just received my dune GMT a month ago now (I think). Given your criteria, I think dune GMT definitely is a strong contender, but like many people pointed out here, there a lot of other options that fits your criteria. I think the important question is if you like the looks of it.
I don't own high end watches but so far the CW bader bracelet is the best bracelet for me. I only have experience with full metal gshock and Seiko bracelets for context.

You have the white/green model?
OLKO Special Edition of the Steinhart Ocean GMT. Not just my fave GMT...but my fave watch of all that I own. And it's WAY under $2k!

Yup, but I got them on the bracelet
Certina DS Action GMT Powermatic 80 - C032.929.11.051.00 - True GMT under 1200
Farer do some lovely GMT's.
I haven't bought one, but Nodus also do a nice looking GMT for way under $1k.
Maybe…
Nice looking! What ref is that?

This brand and its GMT watches were a strong pick for me but in the end I picked up the Lorier Hydra S3. For me, it’s hard to ignore just because of eyebrow raising value proposition it offers.
This watch looks amazing though. Great choice!

New Venturer has a screw down crown that solves this issue
