Brice, Here is my opinion and what I have heard. I like the Air Race dial better than the Kaiki, but it depends on how much you will use the GMT function. My understandiong is the AirRace city markers are not the same as the Kaiki. I think they are geared towards the locations of the racing done versus the Kaiki has the more common location. You might want to check that out :) Otherwise...get the one that appeals to you morehand6.gif

Both are great models and very similar in layout, so you may have to look at the strap/bracelet offering to match-up with your intended use— such as, bracelet & leather for dressy/everyday use and rubber strap for tool/sport use. Though, of course, you could simply switch-out the straps/bracelet... but you may not wish to add the additional expense. Outside of what I have just mentioned, I do notice that the Navy GMT has much more of the "standard" dial layout compared to the Air Race GMT, which is more "contemporary" in layout and color use. Hope this helps...

Mine has Miami, Perth, Abu Dabi, Budapest, Istanbul, Berlin, Barcelona and New York. It might be different for different years depending on where the events are held but I dont know that for sure.

I like the charm of the orange one: The color isn't too bright and got character:)

I had a Khaki GMT and flipped it. It is one of the few I have flipped that I sometimes miss. It was a great watch which did so many things right. In fact I was so smitten with it I reviewed it on my blog: http://paxman-wasting.blogspot.com/2006/09/hamilton-khaki-navy-gmt.html Imho it was a great and versatile watch. WR 200 m, true ETA GMT, comfy on the rubber strap and tough as nails. Lume was not so hot and I guess I felt a little mcwright-ish. The function of all crowns was smooth as silk. Now I feel melancholy!

Well you did it and got me convinced:) I literally just pulled the trigger on this puppy for a price lower than anywhere I've seen it for sale.... And if you ate interested she has 5 more, so let me know:) Limited Edition Poseidon. Love the colors!!   I got lucky after a lost auction :) anywway it was a tough choice with the racer, love the orange! But am not excluding getting the orange racer too, maybe used, to have big or just compare them first then flipping one if needed:)  but I have more watches and other stuff for sale so if it continues to work well on that front then I'll just buy and keep both.... I mean who doesn't need a orange Hami Racer GMT!!!;) thank you all!! I have 3 more pics she sent me if you r interested! Cheers  Last edited on Thu Nov 5th, 2009 09:49 pm by Jeep99dad |

Jeep99dad, you are a bad influence (it is always good to have someone to blame...). For some time, I have been eyeballing the Hamilton GMT's, and even missed a good priced one in another sales forum (was willing to make an offer, but the watch had already been sold, with 5 other firm interested at full price). But after I saw the Poseidon LE in the pictures and did some research, I just HAD TO GET ONE!!! Colors are great, and a Limited Edition with a story behind (not just a color variation or so) was just too much to resist. The watch colors, design and number of units were all thought for the occasion. So, pulled the trigger as well. Actually, the watch used by Pierre Frolla when rescuing the flag got a really nice price http://www.allbusiness.com/retail-trade/general-merchandise-stores/4173869-1.html
