Got this about a month ago, now, used from a consignment seller on Ebay. The documentation says it's about 2.5 years old, but it is in extremely good shape for that age. Finally got a sunny day in Seattle to try a few quick wrist shots.

(Yeah, I know, the bezel is rotated 30 minutes...just noticed that!)

Here are some pictures that the seller took:

The 2nd time zone is currently set to UTC. Even though I haven't flown in a few years, I still read the aviation weather reports, especially when I travel. Since times for those are given UTC, the 2nd time zone feature is quite convenient.

P.S. Pics of Steelfish white dial with brown leather strap hopefully coming soon!

I love the GMT! I was very close to getting one last year, it was that or the Steelfish, which is the one I ended up with.
The dial on the GMT is amazing. I love the silver numerals. The two hands look great, the one with the arrow and the squared off one. The blue dial looks great, too. I like how the logo is in gold on that one, it would also look great with a brown or gold leather strap. It is amazing how the brown or gold on a strap brings out the small gold logo.
Cheers,
Carl
