In Response To: gmt vs speedy ()

Hi, Zers.

Very different. Only buy the Speedy Pro if you need the chronograph function, bacause chronographs are quite complicated, more prone to malfunction than ordinary (non complicated) watchs and more expensive to service. Besides, the SP is quite an oddity, no date, manual winding and hesalite crystal (easy to scratch). Buy The SP because you really love it, its story, its old lemania movement or whatever a strong reason you have to do it.

However, the Seamaster GMT seems to be a watch that responds to current market demand: rugged yet beautiful, sporty with an useful complication (the second hour hand), at least in the States, where people cross time zones from time to time.

Good purchase!
