Best large GMT Watch, non-Rolex of course, with a little flair? No Panerai recommendations please.

fmohajer · 10 April 2009, 03:24 PM

IWC. Hands DOWN. ;)

I will post a few pics - it is definitely the coolest large watch out there! But it is, indeed, LARGE! A case big enough to house 3 separate movements has got to be roomy.

What else can one expect from TRF?! That was funny, thanks!

Dan, that's a BEAUTY! I am still convinced that there is NOTHING better for the money than an Oris. That dial is coooool!

Greg,
Thanks.

Oris is a hell of a value.

Extremely comfortable too.

Glycine Airman 9 ref 3840 is one my grail.

Glycine Airman!!!!

I think I have found my grail (at least for this week). I own Rolex and other fine watches, but this picture, the amazing Glycine Airman, has captured my attention like almost no watch in my life.

PLEASE TELL ME ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT IT AND THE COMPANY!!!!!

Specifically, are they reliable? Good movements? Certified chronometers?

ANY AND ALL DETAILS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED.

Try their website: http://www.glycine-watch.ch/

The Airman have rich history dating back to
early fifties. There is a website dedicated
to Airman enthutiast: http://www.glycineairman.info/
You'll find all the info there

Happy hunting

TonyD · 11 April 2009, 01:16 PM

No offense taken! My AD had s silver/orange one with a small nick on the trigger and offered it at close to 50% of the completely ridiculous and made up "list price". I still passed. BUT it fits the bill, its a BIG GMT! I think they are great looking but I'm not paying 1/3 of what they are asking for them.

stusrt · 11 April 2009, 09:24 PM

to change the subject a little -
this got me thinking since I am looking to buy a rolex GMT-IIC next.

if you look at the omega above -
I have a planet ocean with co-axial and it is 1 second fast ever 2 days.

at the price $6,866 - and i can get 30% off from my ad - comes to $4,806
probably $3k used

you get chronograph, date, and gmt

you have to buy 3 rolexs to get that functionality. All would be smaller, and cost more to!

So very true. The Omega Speedy is hands down one of my favorite Chrono's in existence :)

lorsban · 13 April 2009, 04:31 PM

This one's pretty big: 44+mm diameter. Can be had for less than $4k
