Hi,

I am in need of some help for spending 10-14.000 USD. It is for a friend who has no idea on watches, brands, options… he just wants to be told what to buy?

Here the basic guidelines.

It must be/have:

- MUST have a 2nd time zone indication, a GMT could also work

- steel strap, no leather

- max. 40/42mm as he has a small wrist

- sporty but elegant

- will be his daily beater

- brand would best more special, e.g. FRANCK MULLER then normal e.g. ROLEX

- no vintage

- no second hand

He also would like to not only know, what to buy, but also why not to buy this model, we recommend!

Your help is greatly appreciated. Below an example!

Thanks, also for pics or links if you have ideas!

- functional, a bit dressy

- every body has one

The first one that springs to mind is the Gmt II ;) but you already have that listed!

Secondly dont care if it is repped to death its still awesome! A good one for half the budget too ! With change for a New 8500 Po :inverted: Cant go wrong with that choice !

Not an easy task, very difficult to keep a gmt on a small size (i.e 40 or below)

...anyway I'll throw these in as something differerent:

Chopard Mille Miglia GMT Chronograph (42mm (wears small))

JLC Master Compressor GMT (41mm)

173.81.71_main.jpg

JLC Master DualTime (40mm)

all in around 8K-10K retail.

or this at about $16K

Royal Oak Dual Time Power Reserve (40mm)

Ulysse Nardin Dual Time GMT +/-

Pro's

Very easy to operate second time zone (hour appears in window, no hand to set)

second time zone can be advanced or regressed by using pushers on side of case.

Stylish, slim, to me looks better on a strap, but also comes on a bracelet.

Great company with long reputation of quality watches

Not very well known, thus would be possibly harder to resell if not what he wants.
