Alpina Startimer Quartz GMT for $199.97 from ToM. Condition says used, but if the pic is of the actual watch it looks to be in very good shape. I think that thing at 6:30 that looks like it's behind the case is thread from the strap? (

The stated condition of this listing is "Fair" which is rare to see from ToM, they almost always say Good so I'd be cautious about purchasing it since there are no returns. I also think the images shown are just stock renderings and not pics of the actual watch being sold.

The
Bruno Magli Quartz GMT is Asford's daily deal for little while more.
$75.99 ($67.63 after DADSANDGRADS11).
Here's a real life shot. I like it.
Edit: In very related news. Ashford also has the
Alpina Startimers in stock. Only now realized how direct a copy the dial is - no wonder I liked it

This watch is not hard to find new for under $200 on eBay, worth a look there as well. The slightly different auto versions are now about $250.

This is the search results for new, refurbished, and new without tags. Cheapest listings for quartz and auto. Didn’t happen to get any of the chronos in the screenshots.
PVD on a bracelet for $250. There’s also a stainless model, though that’s a bit more expensive. Other colors too.

Those autos for $230 and $240 are hella deals.
Same seller also has this Pilot Heritage (a GMT) for $429.99.

Here's the link that was previously shared for this Alpina automatic GMT new (but without tags) for $429.99 :

Note:
This is not a true "Traveler's GMT", the hour hand can be set forward but date change is tied to the GMT hand. (corrected)

Not to get too off topic, but this is interesting. According to
this Hodinkee article the local hour hand is independently adjustable -- but only forward. And as noted the date is tied to the GMT hand. So unlike an 2893-based watch, you can adjust the local hour without hacking the watch. This kind of puts it in my mind between those ETA GMTs and the super high end with full jumping local hour functionality like you see in an Explorer II.

I humbly stand corrected regarding the GMT function of this Alpina, I knew it differed from a true Traveler's GMT like the Rolex.

Saw this deal via Slickdeals,
https://carrnegiewatches.com/ has a closeout sale, not taking orders after tomorrow
No idea of the quality, but starting at $0.95...
These are AliExpress dropshipped crap that isn't worth any more than the $3 they are asking for it, and then they make the profit on inflated shipping.
Also, what do the pushers do here?
