Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Out of Order 40mm GMT Automatic

Owners widely praise the Out of Order 40mm GMT Automatic for its playful and unique distressed aesthetic, with many appreciating its distinct personality and non-Rolex clone colorways. The Seiko NH34 movement is noted as a positive upgrade by some. However, the intentionally damaged look is polarizing, with some finding it gimmicky. The stock leather strap is considered cheap by one owner, and the case finishing on one variant did not fully match its "Ultra Brushed" name. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting gaining only a few seconds in six hours, while another noted a range from +1/+2 to about -6 seconds per day. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Out of Order 40mm GMT Automatic highly for its unique personality and aesthetic at its price point.

RGM Watches Model 500 GMT

Owners widely praise the RGM Watches Model 500 GMT for its comfortable wearability, with one owner noting it wears smaller than its 51mm lug-to-lug, and another finding the fit perfect. The green dial color exceeded expectations for one owner, who also highlighted the clean brushed finish and superb deployment clasp. Reviewers describe it as a well-executed sports watch for travellers, featuring a matte black dial and a bi-directional GMT bezel. The watch is also noted for its hand-engine-turned dials and Breguet numerals, with one owner suggesting it may be a unique piece from the only true American watchmaker. One owner expressed concern over the lack of color on the bezel. Some question RGM's pricing in the $15-23k range compared to other high-end brands. Overall, owners rate the RGM Watches Model 500 GMT highly for its comfortable wearability and distinctive American craftsmanship.
