I'm thinking about getting a GMT, as it's a type of watch I don't have, and I'm a Brit living in Canada, so need to call my mum every so often. laugh

What's a good, budget (say around £500-£750) GMT, that has a rotating bezel so that I can just set that to UK time?

I love Seiko 5's, might wait for one of these.

I wonder how much they will be.
~$480 USD so probably about £380

All good suggestions, thanks!

The Mido I think is too large for me, the Steinhart is trying too hard to be a Rolex, I never would have considered a Rotary, AND it's way under budget, but I really like the design. I think I might go for it! And I don't have a quartz powered watch (other than a g-shock digital), so at least I'd have one watch that was always powered up.

Now I can't decide on the design, Batman/Pepsi on steel, or Teal on leather...







Thoughts?

P.S. That H Samuels website is a mess, they don't even know the models of the watches they have. But great prices!

Can’t comment on the watch myself but it can be had for a good discount here apparently (albeit no different to what has been suggested above):

Edit: link looks weird due to a rogue smilie but it works for me. Extra 15% off too so the watch costs 85 quid.

Thanks, and ordered! Went for the Pepsi in the end, apparently the colours are more muted IRL, I'm fine with that.

I couldn't resist that for £85, bargain!
