    Dive GMT < $800USD

    So I recently lost my black Sumo on a drunken night out whilst in Vegas, so I need to fill the gap (Well I want to anyway!).

    Since buying it, I have developed a penchant for GMT complications, so I figure while I am looking at new divers, perhaps I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

    Like the look of the Christopher Ward C60 Trident GMT, and also the Steinhart Ocean Black GMT, however I would like to know what else is out there.

    I would like it to meet the following criteria:


    • <45mm. I have a 7" wrist, and the Sumo was pushing it.
    • Available brand new for around the $800USD mark, shipped to Australia
    • Automatic movement, prefer hacking and winding
    • At least 200m WR
    • Prefer GMT diver bezel


    I loved the Sumo, but am open to other options!

    Cheers!

    With the $A:Euro rate as it is, definitely Steinhart Ocean 1, or Ocean Forty-Four

    Yeah, I would have pulled the trigger instantly on the Ocean 1 at the price I could get it for right now, unfortunately it wont be ready to be ordered online until September. I am already waiting until September for my Magrette Pacific chrono PVD, so don't think I can handle waiting for another! Cheers for the offer on the O7, but I think my Magrette will satiate my PVD lust.

    Got ridiculously drunk one night on the strip and woke up sans license, passport, 5k and Sumo! I did wake up with a barring from the Flamingo though! :)

    I'm not sure why it sucks to Sufis. Weird.
