AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic

Owners praise the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic for its dial depth created by elevated numerals, a deeply signed buckle, and detailed case sides. The watch is also noted for being practically mark-free with no dings found, and comes with a barely worn brown leather AVI-8 OEM strap. On balance, owners rate the AVI-8 Spitfire Smith Automatic highly for its detailed finishing and pristine condition.

Santurce Guaraguao True GMT — Automatic Pilot Watch

The Santurce Guaraguao True GMT — Automatic Pilot Watch utilizes the Miyota 9075 automatic true GMT movement. Owners note the Miyota 9075 is an affordable true GMT movement. One owner found the 15mm thickness to be substantial, though the 38mm diameter made it wear well; another user considered the lack of a date window a dealbreaker. On balance, owners find the Miyota 9075 movement appealing for its true GMT functionality at an accessible price point.
