GMT Mens Stainless Steel Professional Automatic Watch - 42mm Analog Black Face with Luminous Hands, Magnified Date and Sapphire Crystal - Swiss Made 2nd Time Zone Watch 17572.2136

I am extremely happy with the Revue Thommen GMT automatic. It is a very expensive looking watch. In fact, you can spend more than twenty times the amount for a so called "high end" watch, but I feel that the Thommen feels just as substantial as most of them, while having a lot more money in your pocket. The watch has only been off by three to four seconds during the first week of wearing it. I have received numerous compliments on it already. It is beautifully made, has some good weight to it. To be able to purchase a completely swiss made timepiece at this price with an amazing history that goes along with it is hard to believe. I know I will be wearing this for many happy years to come. Don't think too much, just get it, and you'll be glad you did.

Outstanding quality for the price!

It is perfect

Beautiful and reliable

I collect watches. It has been an interest of mine since my first one - Seiko's first dive watch, the 62 MAS introduced in 1965.I've bought several Revue Thommen watches over the years, mostly for gifts. Pictured above, next to the rose gold RT, is a Revue Thommen about twenty years old. It has never been serviced, it looks like new, and still keeps time perfectly. The notion that an automatic watch must be serviced regularly is a myth ... I have more than a 100 that have never been serviced, including a Renis that is 64 years old.I bought this particular RT GMT primarily because they are old stock, driven by the ETA 2893 ... notice the 25 Jewel annotation on the dial of the rose gold watch. The Sellita driven ETA clones used by the newer RT watches have 26 Jewels. There is nothing wrong with Sellita, I have several watches with that movement, but the ETA has always been the gold standard to me.This GMT runs at about +2-3 seconds a day, which is about as good as it gets with mechanical watches. It is ironic that ANY $5 quartz Barbie watch keeps time better than a Rolex that costs as much as a house, but most who collect watches see nothing artistic in a cheap circuit board.This watch has all the features we look for ... sapphire crystal, screw in case back, screw down crown, etc., and it is "Swiss Made" which generally says something about Quality Control.. The fit and finish of this watch is excellent, although the lume could be better. If you're out and about at "Zero Dark Thirty," the lume dies off, which is the case with almost all watches that do not have Tritium Tubes.The watch bracelet is well done, with a divers extension and pin/tube adjustment. The closure has a security clasp which are both extremely crisp. This watch is not going to fall off your wrist while diving, and wind up on the bottom of the sea.The dealer, Perfect Timing, was excellent to deal with. The watch came securely packaged in two days and they were readily available to respond to my inquiry asking for verification that this is ETA driven, which was immediately verifiable once I had the watch in hand, since this GMT has a display case back.I'm not going to get into the politics of luxury watches except to say that watches are much like wine ... there is no, "you get what you pay for." Personally, I like "value" on the wrist, as opposed to paying for marketing and price controls ... if you are going to shop luxury watches, you might want to read up on the government's terribly unsuccessful efforts (since 1960) to address that nonsense .

This is a great watch with the specs compared to something costing 3 to 4 times the price. I am very happy with this watch.
