Case in point, GMT with Seiko NH34 automatic from San Martin:
About $150 after discounts: https://watchdives.com/collection...f=
Way better bracelet and clasp than the Seiko 5 GMTs (I have both the Black dial with applied and the white dial with printed indices). Swiss BGW9 lume on the Black and Swiss C3 on the White - lume is better if you get the applied indicies though
At the same $300 level you can get a truly premium looking piece:

And my personal favorite GMT (I like the sizing better than the Tudor GMT)- also has the Seiko inside.

Phase 1: Quartz is for children, automatics are the only real watches.
Phase 2: Acquire a box or seven of automatics. Star to wear them. Suddenly one stops keeping good time, so you get it serviced. $120 dollars later you go 'at least its running well'. Then 3 or 4 more do the same thing after you schwack your wrist on a door jamb or your desk at work......."ummmm"....$600 later you say "Man I could have bought another watch with that money!".
Phase 3: Buy a quartz watch, you know..as a 'beater'...only for 'around the house wear'. Realize the watch is always on time, and when it stops...you replace the $8 dollar battery yourself. Find yourself wearing it out more and more because you don't have to constantly set it. The date may be wrong but nobody looks at that complication anyhow and you just grab and go it.
Final Phase: Acquire a case full of quartz watches because all watches are cool, they are just for looking at and nobody gives a rats @$$ about what movement it has, and you've learned that the people online who tell you to only buy autos............are n00bs
Great looking watch at $125.

This hour hand advancement is also available in Omega Aqua Terra (8900 movement, mechanical instead of quartz) but that watch costs ~20x compared to nighthawk (Omega list $6k, can be had for 4.5k or bit less), and you can't advance the date easily which is PITA.
Nighthawk is big too (42mm).

IMHO The cheapest, reasonable quality GMT mechanical would be Seiko 5 GMT for about $300 to $350. I might get one some day. My first GMT is Edox Grand Ocean GMT which is a great piece (+/- 3 seconds per day) and it's very well made (polish is on par with grand seiko). But it's on the larger size (44mm I believe) but wears very comfortably on my medium wrist (6.5 to 6.75).
