    Hi

    Doing a lot of Travelling and am looking for a Good GMT

    Would prefer Auto but maybe Quartz would be better...

    Any recommendations ?

    Not looking to spend big bucks, but as on business still needs to look the part

    Have to agree with the Hamilton.
    Top choice.

    Personally, and this breaks the big bucks comment, the Omega PO GMT is class.

    That's lovely. Could be a bit bulky with a suit, but very very nice.

    I have my eye on a 556a or 656 but have to sell a couple of others first.

    There's a 656 there too, I think I'd prefer a U1 (too big for my wrist though) or a chrono 103 or 358 or 6000, they are all fairly thick mind you.

    I'm done with thick watches. My Protrek is a really nice ana-digi, really comfortable during the summer when I can wear a tshirt but I wear long sleeve shirts most of the year and it doesn't fit under my cuffs. If I sell the Protrek and maybe my Sarb035 then ideally I'd like to replace them with a 656 or 556a on a comfy strap. As a Speedy owner and fan I can really appreciate the simple highly visible white hands black dial combo on the Sinn.

    Sinn 857 UTC, my next watch will be this or a pre owned speedy.

    I haven't handled the 857 but I have a Speedy and love it. Actually considering getting another strap for it instead of a new sinn at the moment. I have come to the conclusion that bracelets just aren't comfortable.

    If it has to be Sinn, I would opt for this one (or perhaps another one from the "Finanzplatz" series

    Lovely, I haven't had the pleasure yet. Can you remember where you got your hands on it?

    Got the Speedy from iconic. Would love to visit the Sinn factory but haven't had the pleasure yet either.

    Sorry I read your post arse about face. I thought you handled the Sinn. Yep handled a new and a pre owned speedy. Both amazing.
