I love the Explorer and GMT but simpley can not afford to buy another Rolex right now. I would like a watch with a GMT function, nice style,and it must be a well crafted watch but without the hefty price tag. Maybe $500.00 or under any ideas thanks guys.

Perhaps a Steinhart (Debaufre in the US) ?

Cheers

hey Christopher, google seiya or higuchi, they are the 2 main go-to vendors on the web for japan only models. HEQ stands for high end quartz for those that don't know - there's actually a forum devoted solely to heq if you care to google for it.

That's a nice looking Orient GMT and indeed well under $500.00.
Is it #CFE04001B (Black) or #CFE04003D (Blue)?

Ed Rooney · 20 August 2009, 11:49 PM

Alpha GMT or Explorer. $39 on fleabay.

chriseskew24 · 20 August 2009, 11:50 PM

I found the seiko HEQ injapan. I usualy would never consider a quartz watch, but i must say that is nice. I found one for right around $500.00 is there any better prices out there that you know of? Thanks

yes, Hamilton GMT. The watchery is running a good deal on a khaki GMT ($321): http://www.thewatchery.com/Hamilton/Watch/H62555153

this one is the Hamilton Aquariva GMT ($511): http://www.thewatchery.com/Hamilton/Watch/H34655731

and an Ebel Sportwave GMT ($510): http://www.thewatchery.com/Ebel/Watch/9123K51/5011

chriseskew24 · 21 August 2009, 08:47 AM

Thanks for all the great ideas guys. I am not to fond of the Hamilton designs when it comes to GMT.. The dial is very busy.

chriseskew24 · 22 August 2009, 12:54 PM

Looking forward for your review.
