Rolex GMT vs Omega GMT lume — a night in the park.

I’d say Ball World Timer makes it a bit busy with so many tubes, but the paradigm is what I liked when I had one.

Not my own photo but gives you an idea.

That is properly busy — too much so.

Lume is very important to me, but I don’t think any watch gets the gmt lume right (though the custom Seiko above is close).

The Supermarine Chrono from Bremont is close, but it needs a lumed 1-23 chapter ring (and lumed sub dials, seeing as they’re there), but the watch needs a bit of work (it’s too thick, needs a traveller’s gmt function, and a better bracelet option).

I’d consider buying one if the bracelets weren’t garbage and it had a quick-adjust clasp.
