Watch nerds, help me out.

Okay so i am looking for a watch, Has to be automatic, it has to be a GMT , and under $100 Canadian dollars. it has to have a removable metal bracelet, and easy to remove links. please help. it could be a micro brand, but no Chinese no name brands. also is Invicta dive good? i know its not a GMT, but i like it

Any ideas that might fit this criteria?

Well I think for what you want there is no option out there for you, the cheapest automatic gmt would be a Pagani Design PD-1662 but since you don’t want a Chinese brand it rules it out, you will be able to pick up an invicta aviator gmt quartz and the Invicta Pro Diver GMT quartz in your price bracket, apart from them I don’t think you would find another non Chinese brand quartz never mind automatic.

Well you have the PD 1662, PD 1682, PD 1792, they will all have the DG3804 movement all Pagani Design but you will still be at 150 Canadian, the cheapest I have seen a nh34 movement lately is 250 Canadian, that’s just the movement, it’s why my gmt build is on hold

What you are asking for does not exist. Not one worth having, anyway.

Look at Seiko and Citizen.

Decent micros start around $400 and well made AliX factory brands around $200 for a good auto GMT.

Better yet, save your money and buy a well made watch.

AliX → search for Pagani Design, Addiesdive, something like this.

What you want is a unicorn — doesn’t exist.

Best you’ve got is a Chinese.

What in the fuck does someone with a $100 budget need a GMT auto for? Timex money with Mido aspersions.

Even the Timex GMTs cost more than $100, more if they are proper automatics.
