Travis from RZE sent out their new watch Ascentus GMT for review.
I found it quite pleasurable during the week although the bracelet is not to my personal liking.


Note: RZE will be supplying a production version of the watch to the channel, however they have zero input into the review content

Thanks for watching

Super titanium coating, super AR coating? Everything is super this, super that with these guys. It remains to be seen what the price will be pending the discount. The market being flooded with NH34 trinkets can't be helpful.

I paid $357 and $375 for Phoibos full titanium Apollo 3 trinkets (Miyota 9015) and $429.00 for the ZELOS field titanium (Miyota 9039)
 
:wink: Thanks for posting this one up, Mike.:hat:
RZE is a micro I really enjoyed ...became " VIP " pulling the trigger 4 tymes in a little more than a year

TRAVIS & VIV in SINGAPORE always treated me good

is there such hot demand for GMT ?

or is the tail wagging the dog...THAT GMT MOVEMENTS ARE WIDELY AVAILABABLE at a good priced... are the micros forced to take a share of GMT's or; do macros just want to ride the GMT band wagon ? all aboard the GMT train ?

- voices can't touch me I vacated my old apartment on HALLOWEEN and new apartment not signed off on by building inspector and town engineer...

so " ON THE ROAD AGAIN,JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN "

so with no home I am pretty untouchable by those damn voices

These movements are around the same price as the NH35. It isn't a true GMT movement and they are only adding another hand. Brands are trying to cash in all at the same time. In order for Borealis to be selling their Sea Storm GMT trinkets for $250.00 to some folks they must be paying $150.00 to have their watches made or selling them at cost, which I doubt.

I'll wait and get one with the MIYOTA 9075.

i do not get the " GMT GOLD RUSH " @darkoverlord except is it like ? @buzzmartian

BELL BOTTOM JEANS MINI-SKIRTS LEISURE SUITS DISCO SHIRTS MADE FROM POLLY THAT STINK REALLY BAD WITH SWEAT @repOman

" oh what fool these mortals be " PUCK from MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM William Shakespeare

...agree if i get a GMT will wait for MIYOTA 9075 @roadwarrior

but in no hurry to have a broken 3rd hand

like the mini-drama @motown tool arrived DOA while the republic teeters and planet scorches

- not looking for over-seas return exchange

-even with the best of them like ET PHONE HOME

-on the road now in the heartland the ivy halls of learning and big pharma mansions in THE GARDEN STATE

-i pizz on them voices

- learned how to disable the voices ...just have no mailing address ...like rail car hobo or ScottyB motel nomad @Panzerfaust
 

The Best GMT Under $500? :rolleyes: RZE Ascentus! :lol:

There is a fair old tidal wave of affordable GMTs at the moment. Is this the best one? Well, if you like your watches on the lighter side, like I do, then it may well be a great choice for you. Better at $69 than $549, though, quite clearly! Cheers, Jody

 
i like BIG ARABICS and i can not lie

RZE Ascentus GMT - assembled for adventure indeed!​

This is the second RZE watch on review and I must say I'm impressed by the upcoming Ascentus GMT.

Usually the production pieces will be better than the prototype (in review), so I guess those who paid the early bird prices will be very happy.

We got a well-specced and lightweight piece here. Only 110g with bracelet unsized so this is really comfortable to wear. Along with the 200m WR and ULTRAHex coating which brings the hardness to 1200 vickers, this is truly a GADA watch.

Almost bought the Blue, but the Mint Green Resolute with a Miyota tickin inside was the direction I went. So far it appears to be a hell of a watch and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another from this brand.
