Well, the cheapest 'decent' automatic GMT at least. If you have found a cheaper NH34 powered watch, leave me a link. A Top 10 seems inevitable. This one is by no means perfect, but most of its foibles are forgiveable considering the modest price tag. Now to find a 21mm perlon..... Cheers, Jody

Still upsets me that Seiko cannot put sapphire crystal on they're lower-budget watches yet I see everybody else can quite easily afford to sell you a budget watch with a sapphire crystal.. nice-looking dressy kind of watch just a ton of value for the money

@johnsrabe Год назад

They did do sapphire on their Seiko 5 Superiors, but I have no idea how much those went for new.

@vaclav_fejt Год назад

Sapphire Turtles are 50 % more expensive than Hardlex Turtles. I agree with you. If Seiko wants to go upmarket, they should go up quality as well..

@NemanjaNislija Год назад

As for the tinted glass on the back - I got a Quanchin that you recommended a while back (40mm NH34 daily with sapphire for around 40ish bucks) and it has the same tinted caseback. My guess is that it's cheaper and easier to tint the glass to make the movement look all golden and fancy, than to add a gilded custom rotor.

@PlugInRides Год назад

I believe the brand is "Guanqin". I own a few of them, and they just use foil stickers to cover the rotor. I hate this trend of tinted display backs.

@janstenstrom7986 Год назад

Nice watch, Jody! I have often solved the odd lugwidths by squeezing in a strap one millimeter larger. Usually easy. Or shave off some material with a knife.

@BTBHSOHBOY Год назад

The cheapest NH34 GMT I've seen is Corgeut's GMT Master II lookalike, which is $67.53 right now. That's a wild price for steel, sapphire, and an NH, let alone an NH34.

@sdaafasfad Год назад

Wow. That's insane. I build and sell seiko mods and that is almost 70/80% of the total cost of the movement itself!

@LegendX2010 Год назад

My 1st gen Xeric Halograph has similar coating on the caseback. Its got a small open heart-like window rather than a full display and at a glance it looks like the movement is filled with a dark amber oil. The watch case and face are black and dark brown with gold and tan accents, so I assume the coating is an aesthetic choice.

@mercster Год назад

Thanks Jody! Yes affordable NH34 video would be great... despite not really being a dress-watch kinda guy, I actually like this one. The coloring on the movement window is kinda "old timey". Ahh well, I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

@holgermuller3597 Год назад

Nice as always, Jody, thanks for that! I´m not ab big fan of roman numerals, but this watch is a very nice one. Sure, there are a lot of divers outside with the NH 34. And that´s clear! A diver always needs to know the time of another timezone while diving....🌊 Thank you, Jody 👍👍👍

@hankhillsnrrwurethra Год назад

Given the track record of my Pagani GMT, meh on AE watches with complications. GMT hand works, but I was only able to change it a dozen times or so before it lost the ability to adjust. Glad it's only ten or so minutes off, still works as a 24-hour pointer.

@philspencelayh5464 Год назад

I bought a Carnival watch in a Bauhaus style on a milanese for £60 with the same press on back and coloured glass covering an st6. So is this an I & W or Carnival? Getting Roman numerals to work is really hit or miss, I wonder if is the size that makes the difference, in this case I think it would be better with something else.

@frankbcn2223 Год назад

@AdAce21 Год назад

Not bad at all! If they reduce the case by a mil and the lug with to 20, I think they’ll have something here

@retrostu1 Год назад

Lovely looking watch! Nice to see a GMT in a traditional dress-style rather than the sporty dive-style. Doesn’t look too thick either. Not a fan of the small crown or the tinted rear glass, but neither would be deal breakers for me, rather just being picky. Great review 😁

@hattyfarbuckle Год назад

Rather than all these GMT watches using a second 24hr hour rotation I would prefer a dualtime second hour hand still geared to 12 hours that was slightly smaller than the main hour hand so that when not needed it could be left sync'd and not visible behind the main hour hand. Sinn have a GMT with this hand style on one of their chronos but since its 24hr it cant be sync'd

@Travel_Day_Dreams Год назад

Corgeut Official Store has an NH34 GMT (model 3002 - 40mm GMT Master homage) currently available in the summer sale for US$68, not entirely sure how they are managing to make any money at that price. A Pepsi style is in my basket but I'm hoping to resist the temptation as I already have a Tandorio Explorer II NH34 GMT on the way, only another 24 hours to hold out.

@turbyoulance Год назад

Awesome watch for the price and the Roman Numeral's really pop and for a GMT automatic it's a bargain.

@heyzooz Год назад

@male272 Год назад

Yah know...clipping a 22 at .5 mm per side and using the 21mm lugs doesn't really detract so much. In fact...depending on what strap, it can make it look better....just saying...half a mm per side isn't that much of a visual affront.

@AG-en5y 11 месяцев назад

@ChrisByers100 Год назад

That is very nice, my only gripe is the kerning (the space between characters) is far too much on the 'Carnival' and the I&W brand kerning also is 'off' between the & and W characters. That spoils, for me, a very nice dial. I may have been very tempted apart from that as I'm after a GMT.

@footeforty Год назад

@tarantel582 Год назад

What about the Vostok Komandirskie GMT, i know it is not exactly what one would call "modern". But following your decency criterion of a reliable movement that doesnt necessarily has to be accurate, i think the vostok movement fits exactly there. Of course the war is a bit of a negative aspect and i still havent worn my vostok since the invasion of ukraine, but i think the komandirskie still deserves to be mentioned.

@johndoyle1969 Год назад

Dress watches needs to be smaller than 41mm. I am wondering what is the cheapest major or microbrand flyer or traveler GMT dive watch out there.

@5naxalotl Год назад

well that is a really nice price for an NH34. i got myself a chinese 3804 because i really wanted the orange hand & clean style of a "naked" white explorer clone, a Bliger for about 110 aussie bucks, and the accuracy is a *lot* more flakey than my other cheap chinese watches (mostly flawless tongji movements) but tbh it averages better than 30s a day and it's still running after a couple of years. for another $30 i can now get something similar with NH34 and i'd choose that in a heartbeat ... but there's no reason to spend money on upgrading, as the worst thing about poor accuracy is it gives me an excuse to fiddle with the watch every week or two. i have over a hundred of watches with better accuracy, and yet i'm wearing this POS every day. embrace the irrationality of watch ownership, imo

@tkindschi Год назад

@BoozewithNick Год назад

Ok, for the price, that dial is excellent. The crown is stupid, but for an Ali, this is pretty classy and elegant.
