The short answer

The closest alternative to the Ming 17.03 GMT is the Ming 17.03 — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Same family (17.03). If price is the constraint, the Glycine Men's Airman Vintage The Chief Purist 40mm Automatic Watch GL0468 at $905 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Farer ROCHÉ II is the standout microbrand take — shared caliber (Sellita SW330-2) and Visually similar.
