I've sold a few watches recently and had to replace some that I've sold.....you know what I mean.  I spotted this watch and really liked the dial.  Created in recognition of the Red Bull Air Races of 2006.  Similar to ther Navy GMT watch - instead of an internal timing bezel, it has a countdown bezel with a transparent hand that moves with the bezel.  Bezel controlled by crown at 4 o'clock.  GMT at 9 o'clock.  One can rotate the city names with the crown at 9 o'clock, but they only include the cities where the Air Races were held.  Watch is 42mm but wears larger because of the larger dial.  Display back and solid construction.  Hammies seem to be good buys for the money.

It was very difficult to take pictures of the dial because of the light reflection on the crystal.  Maybe it doesn't use any AR coating...not sure.
