Just found your channel- great review! Much as I like the watches and people making microbrand GMTs with the Miyota movement, I like this Mido better. Better than all the Tudors and Longines too, to be honest.
Hey! I'm happy that you found the review! Honestly, mido has been killing it for a while now! They have become my favorite swatch brand due to the high-value proposition they bring to the table The shark tooth is an excellent example of this Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Don’t be a stranger! 🍺😆
I was going to pull the trigger on this one this week. I did not realize it had an aluminum bezel. That may be a deal killer for me. If the aluminum scratches, that will be the first thing I see every time l look at it. I have only had ceramic bezels on my last several watches. Did the bezel feel like it would scratch easily? I appreciate your input, other than that, it seems like the perfect watch.
As soon as I strapped on this watch, I was completely captivated - the fact that the insert was aluminum didn't even cross my mind! I'm absolutely smitten with it! While ceramic is known for being more scratch-resistant than aluminum, aluminum is still incredibly durable. It ages over time, giving the bezel a unique patina, a characteristic that's highly sought after in vintage and vintage-style watches. If this appeals to you, then this watch will be a perfect fit. I wouldn't stress too much about scratches unless you lead a particularly rough-and-tumble lifestyle. Personally, I'd embrace the inevitable marks that life brings. However, if you prefer to keep all your watches looking brand new and aren't a fan of the aging process of aluminum, then ceramic might be more your speed. If possible, I'd recommend getting hands-on with the watch before making a decision. It's so stunning that the bezel material might not even register when you try it on! 😄
@@LosNTime good call and no they don’t. I did check specifically for that. They basically have a DOA return option. There is a dealer about an hour away; however, I would need to see if they have it in yet. The other one I was close on the Christopher ward Aquitaine GMT with the blue bezel. They check every box short of the true GMT one. I do have two other GMTs currently I do wish they had the traveler option.
I'm okay with a caller/office GMT, but I wouldn't want to shell out more than $500 for one. If you plan to spend over $500, I recommend going for a True/Travel GMT. In my opinion, that's the best way to make the most of your money. Also, if you get the shark tooth, I'd love to hear your thoughts once you've got it! 🍺🍔 What iare the GMTs currently in your collection?
I absolutely love my Seiko Sharp Edge GMT - it's definitely one of the standout pieces in my watch collection. The 6r64a GMT movement in it is just fantastic, especially compared to the ETA in my opinion. However, the Mido definitely holds its own - it's a stunner in its own right. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either of them. I actually have both the Ocean Star GMT and the Sharp Edge, and I adore them for different reasons. But there's something truly special about the Seiko Presage Sharpedge. It's definitely a standout piece in my collection. 🍔🍺
What an insightful question! Mido and Certina utilize the same GMT movement, which is currently exclusive to them. Both are based on C07.661, a higher grade power matic with a metal escapement. Tissot, on the other hand, is the only brand that uses the lower grade c07.1xxx with a plastique escapement, seen on the pox. Other Tissot watches, such as the gentleman, feature much higher grade powermatic. In the entry-level hierarchy of swatch brands, Mido and Rado reign at the top of the entry-level market, surpassing Tissot, Hamilton, and Certina, which is only outranked by Longines, positioned just below Omega. This means that Mido ensures the best parts and finishing at its price range. I hope this provides the information you were looking for!
@LosNTime thank you for the clarity👌👌now also thinking about spb383 gmt really got my attention very hard decision right now have time until next week🤦
@LosNTime Then why do you pronounce it long jeans? The ng is a nasal n sound and the s is silent. Longines is named after the location where the company was founded.

❤ thanks. They have it on the Gnomon site for $1100 delivered. I do think it is worth the risk.
It's a beauty. That's for sure
Does Gnomon have any protection against buyer's remorse? 😆

@LosNTime what movement have this watch? Is the powermatic 80 with plastic parts what certina and tissot uses?
