Breitling Colt GMT.

I'm not sure what discounts are around on Omega, but the Seamaster 300m GMT shouldn't be too far out of the price range.

Longines Admiral GMT, very nice and well built watch.
Also consider Tudor Aeronaut, although not so similar as it`s bigger brother GMT Master, still very interesting timepiece.
And, already mentioned, Breitling Colt GMT, simply awesome watch, especially older model.

I have to second the Breitling Colt GMT.
My first choice would be to save a little more money and get
a nice previously loved Rolex EXP II but if not then as I said
the Breitling is your next best choice.

Like the "Great White" Omega GMT and the Breitling Colt. If you don't mind going a little smaller, some of the pre-owned 38mm (I think) Ulysse Nardin models are hovering around $2K on the sales boards. I have the newer, larger version but it's a great system with a separate set of push-buttons to advance or reverse the hour hand and a permanent hour register showing home time.

Around 2k is a tricky price-range. Never buy new in this area. I'd recommend a used Ullyse Nardin GMT.

Cyma. CSOC certified. Navy Star GMT. Great value for a CSOC watch.

Agree on the Omega suggestions. Also if u like a big manly watch, how about the Doxa Sub 750 gmt?
