Hi All, just joined several weeks back. Its quite addictive!
Any how about 7 weeks ago was in Shenzhen for 36hr for work. I had a few hours at Lohu and decided to go to the commercial centre been before to get kids some stuff. Used to the hussle and the no no no's.
Decided to see what watches they had and saw 3 GMT batman's different quality. I chose the highest quality one def. At this stage didn't know about noobs what to really look for etc.
Was offered $140 but walked out and seller asked what was my best price I said $30 and agreed $40 in the end.
Strap was adjusted and I took note of the shop. I will revisit in 2 months time again and may have a little longer.
Unlikely to visit the Guangdong so won't be able to see noobs.
So a few weeks back signed up here and been reading this forum and search about what to look for, TD etc booked marked lots of useful info. So my next visit I will try and get something maybe better although I may fail but happy to not spend too much before I dive into a noob.
So I have GMT. After reading here and seeing what I bought it looks like maybe a A quality. The time is accurate, bracket is a little sharp compared to my dad's original sub. Feels OK. But what do I know! The bezel show signs of chipping under the 12.
So this is the start of my journey!

Might be a long shot question, but does the gmt function work ?

Yes works perfectly. Watched a u tube clip on how to setup and works. If the bezel was better I would ok. But I give it another month and it will begin chipping more at the sides.

Welcome!

For something like that? 40$ I'd say that's a deal! Looks good honestly..for what you paid for it! Wear it in good health.
