jmt Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Hi gang, I'm looking for one good GMT to add to my collection, can you please suggest me the best GMT out of the box? thank you for your help! The Chopard Mille Miglia is the only rep I haven't modded save a lume job. It's very good out of the box. A warning that mine had some movement issues and The Zigmeister had to pull his hair out fixing, but I think that was my bad luck as others haven't had that issue. BUT, it is a very nice oob rep.
mrandazzo Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Anyone had ever tried the Omega Seamaster Gmt? Looks interesting, but over 40 mm case...

It's A7750 Chrono + GMT? This one like? http://www.pc-80108.com/cp10047-mile-migli...800-p-3708.html

For most accuracy you will want the white on white, because the gen actually has 'tachometre' not 'tachy.' But that one has a closed caseback I think... which is the only real issue. That and it needs double AR, which used to bug me but I got over-- Jakub could not coat it as its some sort of sandwich crystal. The rep AR iis not great, but aside from the AR its a very nice rep.
hiker01 Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 Hi gang, I'm looking for one good GMT to add to my collection, can you please suggest me the best GMT out of the box? thank you for your help! What? No one suggested the Rolex GMT IIc?
abat Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I know this is in the other brands forum but I'd have to at least hint at the gorgeous Rolex GMT IIc
cib0rgman Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I was about to say that, what happen to the GMTIIc
rosnik Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Posted July 19, 2008 sorry Rolly guys, but this time I was looking for something bit different than rolly.
jkerouac Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 I have the Seamaster, the Mille Miglia, and the 063. For out of box GMT purposes I'll take the Seamaster any day. A few years ago the non-GMT Seamaster was one of the board grail watches, and in my book the GMT addition makes it even nicer. I have the ETA version, although many people swear by the Asian version as one of the stellar bargains anywhere. Overall, I prefer the looks of the Chopard and wear it more than the Seamaster, but the GMT is a bit flaky to set, even after The Zigmeister serviced the movement. He attributed this to the challenge of bolting a GMT function onto the 7750 chrono functions. Once set, though, the GMT works fine. I just don't like to reset it very often, which would be a significant drawback if I travelled to different time zones a lot. The Pam is quite nice, too, esp. with that huge second hand. But the GMT hand slips occasionally (Asian version), so it would benefit from a service as well as other upgrades (crown, cyclops, date wheel, lume) in order to match the other two in quality. Note: You might also consider the Mont Blanc GMT.
fakemaster Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Amazing how good the Omegas GMT looks in photos though eh? I say Rolex GMT ICH
rosnik Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 Amazing how good the Omegas GMT looks in photos though eh? About Omega, I bought one ( eta 2836-2 mod for GMT ) , but BMW it appear to be totally wrong.....
mrandazzo Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 As jkerouac said....why not a Montblanc? It's classic and nice. BTW I wouldn't buy one: it looks too big
snoxx Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I am looking forward to get a chopard mille miglia GMT white dial, white subdials and with the rubber strap. I have seen that trusty and perfect clones have the white dial black subdials, however I have not seen this version in gen and prefer the white on white one. Eurotimez has it but with the SS bracelet. Could you please tell me who offers the best high end replica of this model?
TeeJay Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I get on very well with my 029a. I might not wear it much, but it is one of the favorites of my collection. Ilike the fact it has the 24 scale on the bezel, as it keeps the dial 'clear'. Of course, the dial itself is also a nice visual feature Best of luck with your search
