Considering sbgm221 gmt

Thinking of one of these as my next purchase. What are your thoughts.
Everything I have at the moment is either black or blue dial. Was looking at getting a white but I could easily live with this.

Very nice watch and one that looks good on various straps. I would look pre-owned as there is some money to be saved if your AD will not offer a decent discount. Go for it.

I saw this one at the AD and too me the 24 hour hand is too similar to the other hands. I just feel like at a quick glance it may have some legibility issues. I prefer the 24 hour hand to be completely different in size, shape, and color so there can never be any confusion.

My SBGE255 for example does this well IMO

I have a couple of weeks before I go up to London. Will check it out while I’m there.

I tend to enjoy their sportier GMTs but the one you are looking at seems to be closer to a dress watch. Curious to see what you end up with. Good luck
