So an automatic GMT.
Higher end brand?
Budget range? Max spend?

[TheJohnP]

Best price I'm seeing on the B&M Clifton Club GMT on bracelet is from The Watchery for $1,474.98
Which may or may not be under the Joma umbrella.

Automatic
Under 1.5k
42mm or under
100m wr
Top of the list right now is that Baume et Mercier
My sauces are saying the brand may dip in value so I’m biding my time.

With that budget, have you looked at Farer?
You're not going to find a deal, unless you find one preowned.

But their Oxley GMT is $1,455

Wish it was the blue version. I’d be all over it.

Saw one at the local AD. Really handsome watch and they had it at 60% off, but my better half rather pointedly told me that two-tone should stay in the 80s. I told her I'm a big fan of the 80s--really good music among other things.

The problem with their website is... that there's no way to communicate about the orders. Ordered several watches from them, got a shipping number for the whole order. Today it got delivered... and there was only one of the watches inside. No mention of the rest, either on the website or in the package. I'll have to talk to Citizen n the phone to figure out if they know what's up with the rest.

I''m looking at ROUE watches, specifically the TPS models - $290 for a MecaQuartz + Mineral Glass seems a bit much. But the design and colorway of the TPS 3 model is tugging away at my heartstrings...

A cursory check seems to reveal that they did a DROP once, a few models on TouchofModern (non TPS), but nothing much beyond that...

Any leads folks?

Timebyme sells Roue but they don't have the TPS in stock.

But the CHR is nice - $208 after discount, 2 straps, sapphire but has a Miyota, so I don't think that is meca-quartz, but I find meca-quartz's 24 hr sub-dial not useful.


The Hoffman Racing 40 has meca-quartz & sapphire for around $160 after discount

Great idea.

Great idea.

Welcome to the party bud! I know you may just be posting to not have your account purged and that is totally cool, but I'd invite you to jump in on the action and post anywhere/everywhere in the forum! Great, inviting group of people here with tons of knowledge to share. You are spot on though, this thread is a great idea, but also very dangerous!

Edit: don't be alarmed by the shockingly high percentage of exclamation points used in my response. Genuinely excited to see people enter the fray.

There is nothing wrong with lots of exclamation points, especially amongst watch friends! And they go well with my avatar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks sobwanhoser. Finally gave in to the TPS 3 model at *horrors* full retail. Exchanged mails with Alex the owner who seemed like a perfectly nice bloke. I have a weakness for 60s/70s Porsches and also collect diecast...so, well, went down the rabbit hole again.

Is that a TPS report?
