Swiss eta 2893 is the only GMT movement eta makes...so it is a no brainer for me hand6.gif...and at $650. a real bargain compared to other watches using this high grade movement!....TY for Ralf for once again bringing WIS a truly affordable true GMT !  ....the final cost doesn't always represent what is affordable as it is the entire package that counts and this Benarus GMT is the entire package and lots more imho! perfect.gif

Very much a crossroads decision for you Ralf, my opinion is this, you have the best sub $500 watch in the market ,which has the Miyota movement, the Sea Devil. So go for both - faithful to your business model with both varieties. ETA GMT at that price - wow.

I think you're right, and the Debaufre (although a very nice watch) has NO dive bezel and is only 42 mm. I agree with you and Oscar — the Benarus GMT with 2893 is an incredible deal. And I bet it'll be a HUGE seller.

I voted for the 2893-2 GMT movement, for both being an automatic and being a better GMT functional watch. However, if there were a Chinese or Japanese automatic movement that copied the 2893-2 GMT movement I would consider that as well. The Miyota movements have served us well so far, not sure if they have a GMT version. The Seagull ST26, if it has a GMT module add-on, might be a suitable version and close to ETA in terms of time keeping and quality.

The Sea Devil was terrific value (I've just received mine) but there aren't many left and I agree there must be a healthy market for a sub $500 watch in Ralf's line up. Prices of recent models (whilst still good value!) have crept up a little too. I voted for the quartz because I'm a little happier wearing a quartz when doing more "rugged" jobs than I am an automatic. It would be great to have a Benarus for those times

Ralf, I voted for quartz, because I would really love to be able to afford another Benarus watch... once we start looking at $500 - $650, I've got to really think hard about spending that kind of money on another watch. Seiko Monster = $175 w/ Seiko automatic mvt. In the $650 range, SUMO, SAMURAI, BIG KINETIC. At $850 I can buy a Swiss Automatic ORIS TT1. Bernhardt GMT ETA 2836 = $399 and the Bernhardt Globemaster GMT "ETA" modified = $449. I am not sure why quartz is not acceptable. My brother's TAG 2000 keeps great time, and he has changed the battery 2x in ten years. OMEGA Seamaster quartz is up around $1,600 and the quartz movement doesn't seem to hurt their sales or reputation. Perhaps it is possible to offer the Benarus GMT in quartz and ETA ? Jim
