Soooo. Any GMT options out there except the GMT masters? I've had them on wrist several time but I just bond bond with them for some reason. Not sure if it's ceramic bezel insert I'm not crazy about. I definitely prefer the oyster over jubilee and even went with that option on my DJ, it just felt better on wrist for me

My collection is pictured below and I've tried to cover all usual bases, diver, dress, chrono but still buying the watches I like the look and feel of.

My thoughts

Tudor GMT 41mm. But is that the obvious choice, am I missing anything. Would make a nice 3 piece Tudor sub collection with my BB58 and chrono..... Thought about the TT version but feel it's too similar to the tone of the BB58.

Drives you mad this hobby hahaha

Your thoughts and idea would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Explorer II or a Tudor Pelagos would add diversity to your collection.

I second Harry's suggestion! If I was in your shoes, Sky D all the way, adding complications is always a good thing!!!!

Nice collection. I don't think you can go wrong with a Tudor GMT. I own the Pepsi and the Root Beer and they get significant wrist time. I also swap out bracelets/straps/NATO's on them and get a lot of different looks.

Great collection! It really sounds like an Explorer II would fit your "need". GMT complication, only comes on Oyster, and no ceramic bezel in which you mentioned that you're not too crazy about. Either the Polar or black dial would go perfectly in your collection! Or, maybe both??.....Since it looks like you have 2 empty slots in your watch box on the right side. Lol.

Harry-57 made the perfect call OP. If you can swing it and a large diameter watch appeals you should seriously look at the Sky-Dweller.

I agree with the above - ExpII or SkyD!

I was going to purchase a tudor GMT, but I tried it on and it was just to big and thick for my wrists. I do have rather dainty wrists, but for me it was uncomfortable. I really liked the watch, it was just much bigger than I thought.

I owned a Tudor BB GMT and now wear a blue dial Sky Dweller on Oyster bracelet--can't recommend the Sky Dweller enough.

I’d snag a explorer II or 5 digit GMT Master
