Options other than GMTII

Anyone know if there is anything similar to the rolex GMTII in brands like JLC or IWC?

What about other brands? I dont like the look of either of them. The Rolex GMTII still looks the best

Most high end watch manufacturers make a dual-time watch..

One I like and use frequently is this Ulysse Nardin. The second time-zone is in the round window.. !!

JLC hometime is the one!

1622430 pink gold, or 1628430 in stainless.

Anyone have photos of the case back? Is there a clear window to see the movement?

How much was the Ulysse Nardin?

Ex II is my fav. GMT watch, especially for travel.
- Rugged
- Flies under the radar most of the time
- Super intuitive movement (one of Rolex's current best, I think).

If it is JLC, it has to be this one.

Yes, the JLC Master Hometime has a crystal caseback to exhibit the gorgeous Master Control 1000 Hours movement.

That's the thing. The rolex GMTII gives the best bang for your buck. It's rugged and has the best GMT movement with the quickset hour hand.

The JLC is nice, but on second thoughts, the leather strap isn't going to hold up to my travels.

Maybe i'll wait for a Pepsi dial to be released.... hopefully not too far away!

I still need the 1/2 hour GMT offset.

I'll stick with my Pepsi.
