[Discussion] Best mid-size GMTs (alien.top)

I want to add a GMT to my collection, but it's hard to find many under ~40mm. I'd love one that's 36-38mm (even 39.5mm looks too large on me). Budget is open, but ideally around $1000.

What are some of your favorites?

I feel like Nomos should be in the tier above. They are cheaper but not cheap, especially for the mechanical ones. But their quality is outstanding. My Club Sport is sublime.

Nah definitely a rubber strap.

Rolexes are boring. It’s old man and boring person nonsense.

Low interest rates. Crypto pump. Stock bull run. Morons on YouTube claiming watches are investment vehicles.

All the bullshit had to break eventually. Early 90s Explorers in mid condition were never worth $8k. They’re $3k watches with papers.

[Discussion] you have $400 to spend on a watch in c/watches@style.land

Get a used seiko on eBay and $360 of rigatoni (preferably new, not used).
