Recommendations for a GMT watch besides Rolex?
Curious if anyone has any recommendations for a watch with the GMT function/dual time besides a Rolex GMT or Explorer 2. Looking for something in that price range or less. A good travel watch that could go anywhere, get wet, swim with etc...

PAM 371 is another "dual time" piece that I much prefer over the PAM 088, and the 371 is definitely a "go anywhere, wear anywhere" type of piece that looks great on a rubber or leather strap.

Is the PAM88 more of a dual time? What sets them apart, cause all I see is the GMT dial. Does it have anything to do with how the Rolex's bezel can move independently of anything on the face? In that sense, is a Breitling Superocean GMT more of a "true" GMT watch?

Just found they made a Gmt omega speedmaster. Think this could be a good choice. The only prob with many of these is he leather band. Can swim with it or it gets ruined. I guess I could find some other strap thou.

Although just saw this ^ watch retails for 8k. Seems like a fantastic watch. Chrono, 100m water rating while NOT having screw down pusher like a daytona for easier/quicker use and has a GMT function. Looks fantastic too.

yes the Bezel movement is key dual time and GMT are not the same feature.
