No, the ETA 2893 in the GMT is the better movement and are getting more rare as time goes on. You have the better watch in hand than the PRO version, hybrid bezel aside. If the color really bothers you, best thing to do would be to return the watch, get your money back, and wait until the next great sale and purchase the red bezel GMT. That's what I am personally doing as of now: Waiting until this coming November for another -25% sale (or so, and hopefully free S&H again) and getting (I think) the red GMT.4ad wrote:Also "If I had to pick one for myself it would be red but I'd love to own both for days I'd like simpleness." - I would love to own both as well and may get another later. And also, would you still pick the red even if no GMT for the same money?
To be honest, the value you got on the sale was not much better than the recent Black Friday sale. The BF sale had most CW watches 25% off, brand new, and free shipping worldwide. Considering the high provability that the bezel issue should be fixed by the end of the year, that's the better deal IMO. You really can't go wrong with your choice but November is a long time away. I bought 4 CW watches last year that I haven't worn or bought straps for yet so I am taking a break until the next great sale.
