My dear friends.
This is Miguel and I'm proud to introduce you my new Seamaster GMT. I was green in envy reading By-Tor's review of this model that I've hunted high and low to get a decent budget-quality ratio. This beauty was bought at ioffer to a new seller called "ttwatchstore". Finally I got it at 90$ (EMS shipping included), paid for it last saturday and this morning was in my hands. Due to the euro supremacy the final amount changed gives 57.13 euros. A real bargain, isn't it?
The overall look of the watch is very good, obviously the main flaw is the misaligned bezel. I've tried many ways to dismantle it but without success, the bezel seems somehow welded to the case. I don't want to force it. Any hint or trick to solve this matter?
The dial is crisp with the mandatory white square surrounding the DW, but something I don't like much is the greenish tone of the markers. The DW is also correct, white over black backgroud. The font is correct as well, not squared as ETA but decent.
The movement is the mainly known asian 21 faux GMT. The hand stack is correct, the GMT hand is below the hour hand and can be set independently turning the crown up in the date change position.
The bracelet is lightweight compared to the weight of the case. I'd say that the total weight can be at 200 grs. more or less.
The clasp is laser etched instead of engraved, but that's a thing that I can live on. Maybe someday I'll switch the bracelet to a Bond one, just like By-Tor did.
I leave here some shots I've just taken. Hope you enjoyed this little review.
