I have a feeling I've done this before...

I want a GMT watch. Automatic, non-dive bezel, white or light face.

I like this



But it's discontinued, and becoming harder to find.

So if I can't find one, what are my alternatives?

Up to, say, £1,500
GMT/World Traveller
Auto
Non-dive bezel
Light-coloured face

1. I was beginning to wonder whether you actually had a sensible head. wink
2. I like the FC, but have got mixed messages about quality.
3. I knew a really boring bloke who wore a Rado once, and it's kind of put me off. smile

I see you've taken your sensible head off again.

Too close to a dive bezel for me.

That looks like one of those watches where the movement is too small for the dial. smile

That's interesting, I thought their four hand GMT was a VHP. I didn't know there was an auto as well.

ETA: And neither do Longines, it seems...

Given Hamilton have discontinued it, I doubt it'll be available soon. smile

Plus, as per above, they're offering an automatic Longines GMT that Longines don't actually make.
