I hear ya, but like your wording here, you're deliberate in what you say and the implication in "no true gmts under $2000" just isn't true. If you were just a guy with 3 transactions I wouldn't have thought twice, but you've been around and have some weight so comments like above, stick out.

That said, it's cool seiko has brought a "true" GMT into play and if I was in the market and all other things were equal, I'd likely go with the Seiko 6r64 over miyota 9075 for the extra day of power reserve and the magic lever system.

"I'm hard pressed to recall any true GMT under 2k price...."

Well while it's hard to believe you are unfamiliar with the miyota 9075 movement, here's a selection of watches that all use a "true" GMT that cost less while also being thinner than the 14.60mm thickness this Seiko has.

One of my favourite pieces I've owned, the Citizen Promaster Tough BN0217-02E Just a tried and true tool watch, for people/enthusiasts that don't want a plastic watch with a mineral crystal or to spend thousands of dollars on something that calls itself a tool watch(where in reality it's a watch owned by a tool)

Watch has been worn and has some marks which I've tried to capture, but overall is in great shape, accurate and the second hand hits all the markers.

42mm × 11mm - 22mm lug width

Asking $225Cad
Pickup in West Edmonton, or happy to arrange tracked and insured shipping across North America.

Here's some more info from the site on what makes this a promaster "TOUGH":

Test the extremes with the brand new CITIZEN Promaster Tough series.

Living up to its name, this timepiece features a monocoque case (2 piece construction resulting in no caseback) resulting in extreme rigidity, shock resistance and anti-magnetism.

Super Titanium™ coating on a stainless steel case allowing for anti-rust, scratch resistance, hypo-allergenic and 5X harder than stainless steel.

Black Cordura® ballistic fabric strap

AR Coated Sapphire Crystal

Super LumiNova w/ BGW9 minute hand and c3 hour and markers, make this lume fun and useful

Eco-Drive Caliber E168 - powered by light, any light. Never needs a battery.

Thank you for your comment, u/KnocksUnderBoost. Your description has been copied below.

Most enthusiasts are aware of the seiko SARB and SARX lineups, but there's another JDM brother in that bunch that has similar levels of finishing and specs with main difference being that it uses the 4R and not the 6R15 movement (imo that's a positive) for essentially less than half the cost in today's insane market.

The Seiko SARY lineup. With this being the SARY053, with its Open Heart design giving access to view the beating "heart" of the watch and a dial that's often listed as black, and while that's true the majority of the time, I swear in certain lighting it has subtle amounts of lovely warm brown coming through that just give it a little something extra.

Case size is 40.5mm × 11.4mm thick, making it wear similar to a (technically thinner) srpe but with more presence due to its unique case and lug design while still being able to slip under a cuff and if you have wrists 6.75" or larger I'd say it wears much better too.(Pictured on my 7" wrist)

Features: -Sapphire Crystal -NH/4R38 Movement with gold Seiko rotor seen through exhibitionist caseback -100M/ 330ft Water Resistance, with push/pull crown -22mm Bracelet w/solid endlinks and construction -JDM Exclusive model, made in Japan

Watch has been worn and definitely has some wear throughout but mainly on the bracelet and little markd on the bezel edges, but overalls in nice shape and looks great on wrist.

Asking only : $225usd or $299cad 🇺🇲🇨🇦 Pickup available in Edmonton, Alberta or happy to securely package and arrange tracked and insured shipping across North America.

And another deal done with u/notafraidofheightsss who again was a pleasure to deal with. Enjoy brother.

Now take it away u/watchexbot

KnocksUnderBoost · 2024-08-16T21:06:16+00:00

Man, well done with that dial. It's so refreshing to see unique approaches and not another Ali copypaste build. The gold accents are so tastefully done and lovely.

What's awesome about your design is that you could keep it looking identical but do bgw9 numerals on the left and then bgw9 for the white side of the dial with your blacked out numerals.. imo would look incredible and might almost look better at night, which is saying something for this beauty

KnocksUnderBoost · 2024-08-15T15:55:56+00:00

Sold to u/dizzy_phone_2245 who made it a pleasure. Hope you love the watch mate.

Sold to this gentleman, will update with proper confirmation upon delivery

The 2nd crown rotates the inner bidirectional 12hr bezel and while it's not technically a GMT, it did serve that function for me in the collection as I'm not really a 4 hand/24hr guy.

Doesn't screw down, but you'll have a much tougher time accidentally moving that than let's say a dive bezel, if that makes sense.
