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.
