From video reviewers

The watch features a true GMT movement allowing independent adjustment of the local hour hand. Reviewers noted the dial detail as a specific strength. No shared weaknesses were identified.

Seiko Prospex Land Mechanical GMT

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex Land Mechanical GMT for its faithful reconstruction of the 6117 design, its attractive gray dial, and comfortable bracelet.

However, community members are split on the value proposition, with many deeming it overpriced at $970, suggesting a better price point around $700 or on sale.
