Thread: GMT in the $3k range?

I pulled the trigger on the Seiko Ananta Spring Drive GMT. Should have it by Friday. I\'ll probably post some pictures over at the Seiko forum. Pop in for a look if you\'re interested this weekend. Again, thanks for your suggestions. There were some good ones, but this model really does it for me on multiple levels, so I decided to go with it.

Got another one for you to look at. Kobold Polar Surveyor. Bernard Watches has a preloved one for around $2800. Base cal Valjoux 7750.

Well for that price, you might want to consider a previously-loved Rolex Explorer II or GMT Master -' + '- they can be had in that price range. Clearly doesn\'t have power reserve, but it\'s a solid movement and a classic gmt. Otherwise, I don\'t know of one and your Seiko looks great. ~Ross

There\'s a funky looking Anonimo and a nice looking Baume with the features you want in your range but I imagine they use the 2893. A crazy nice Cartier that\'s like 5k on ebay. It\'d be hard to beat that Seiko you like I think. Good luck!

looks to me like you will be getting that seiko. i can\'t wait to see it

What about the Seiko SD600? It\'s a huge dive watch but it also has a GMT hand and PR indicator (Spring Drive).

I would go with the Explorer II. The Cartier Pasha GMT reserve might be out of your price range. Anonimo Firenze dual time is really cool but the dial is mad busy, dont know if thats your thing or not.

The date wheel is also larger so the date get\'s pushed out as well. I\'m sure there are other watches...

Well done! You\'ll love the Spring Drive movement, and the refinement of the whole piece.
