The Raven Custom - 39mm GMT Diver is offered new in box for $375, featuring a Seiko NH34 GMT movement and BGW9 lume. Some owners find the included bracelet too simple for the case finish and opt for alternatives. Overall, owners rate the Raven Custom - 39mm GMT Diver highly for its wearability and value.
The DOXA SUB 250T GMT is widely praised for its compact 40mm case, slim 10.85mm thickness, and sub-43mm lug-to-lug measurement, making it exceptionally comfortable and wearable. Reviewers highlight its functional GMT complication, precise bezel action, and the classic Doxa design language, noting its competitive pricing around €2,550 or $2,450. The skeletonized GMT hand is a point of discussion, with some finding it quirky or less intuitive, though others note it looks better in person and is easy to ignore for dive purposes.
