This suggests pretty sensible pricing at €1,700 & €1,900 for the LE, although I'll probably still wait for used models to go on sale.

It's only the wonky date display that I don't like. Apart from that I think they look great.

Agree, difficult not to like these.

Nice lookers for sure.

If the crown was at 3pm, then for me, it would be something to consider buying. However, aside from the crown, an Office GMT movement running at only 3hz is a no no for me when spending this money.

I'm still waiting for some more watches to use the Citizen GMT movement (as found in the Bulova Wilton GMT, which is on the street around £600 with 4hz and traveller GMT) but its been nearly a year and nothing.

The 9075 is going in the next batch of Lorier GMTs.

Just googled Lorier GMT, a bit too retro for me.

Anything else you know of coming soon?

I know Lip are using it.

I agree though, it hasn’t been as widely used as I’d expect.

For that money I’d expect a “true” GMT - jumping hour hand rather than GMT hand.

The Longines Spirit GMTs though more expensive are worth the extra I think. They don’t have the depth rating of these but I doubt many people will dive with them anyway.

I've done a bit of googling and come up with a few. The one that looks the best to me so far is the Traksa but at 38.5mm its too small.

Next is Alcadus, a little too fussy for my taste, Its meant to be released this year.
