Not sure why this hasn't received more attention so I'll post some pics.
I'm more of a vintage guy but I made an impulse purchase of Seiko Kinetic GMT World Timer SUN067P1 5M85-0AF0. Was a sucker for this one since the price was so good and of course it reminded me of one of my favorite vintages, the 6217 World Timer:
New 5M85-0AF0:
Old 6217-7010 Black Dial:
Side by side:
Sorry for the poor lighting but this is a drive by photoshooting as the item just arrived today in my office and I couldn't wait and resized the bracelet there (Yes, you know you have a serious problem with watches if you have watch tools in your office) ;-)
Anyhow, this is my first 5M85 Kinetic movement and I'll have to say there's a lot to like. It has a independent hour hand to change the date reminiscent of the 8F56 GMTs that I've been collecting. Nothing to call home about on the bracelet or build quality but pretty good bang for the buck at the current grey market prices.
Cheers,
-Brian
