Where the hell is this Ginault 2.0?! I don’t see anything like the OPs description on their site...

Could I divert you onto my current considerations then? Haha

Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT or high end rep GMT?

That’s a tough question for me. 

On one hand I have a personal preference against DWO’s. Gluing/taping something into a watch bothers me as an element with inherent risk of failure.  But reps are generally better aesthetically because they’re copying good brands with good design qualities. So of course they look really good. 

However, the graphic design and design details of Steinhart just don’t do it for me. Their logo and engravings look a little cartoony. And the CG’s are a bit to small for me - like they’re in between being there and not. So while it’s a robust watch, it isn’t aesthetically pleasing. 

Me, I’d think about searching for a microbrand or building a franken watch. 

Or, I wonder if there is a decent Omega GMT rep out there. Being that their movements are based on ETA’s, the DW should naturally align without an overlay.

Yeah I'd have a TC over a ginault any day, basically the same watch but one the flaws match a Rolex of that era the other they are just flaws

I really like the Ginaults. Seem to be better fit and finish to most homage watches. 

But yeah a TC would be better. So...who’s gonna sell me their TC?

Really 'ppreciate you taking the time to respond so thoroughly. You've given me a few things to consider. Although if you had any GMT microbrand recommendations, I'm all ears!!
