I can’t even fathom buying this at the original price. Not that I’m buying it at the price it is now, but to have a thousand or so dollars that you can just throw at a watch blows my mind. I mean I’m a poor ass college student raised in a lower-middle class family, but still. That’s gas and food money right there, or textbook money come to think of it.

Is that the turtle? I've always liked the retro styling. I have the SKX007J1 myself. It's a staple!

lailokenUm, it's Turtle-like. It's in the Recraft line I think. Picked it up a few months ago and put it on a Barton Elite black silicone band with a pumpkin colored backing to make the orange seconds hand pop a little. Originally came on a stainless bracelet. I also have a black leather band with orange stitching I just got that I like even better. Has a 4R36 movement (hacking/hand winding) that is running +2sec/day. Bruce Williams has a nice review of the Limited Edition version on his YouTube channel, I think that was the SRPC13 with a deep aqua blue dial and orange seconds hand. That's kinda what sold me on it. And yes, I too have an SKX007, SKXA35 (yellow dial), and SKX173 (American version of 007).

i also have the base 22 - have problems with the gmt -24 hr broken - been trying to get in touch with massdrop for over a month with over 4 messages - the watch has an international warranty - so i need to know how to get it fixed - a 2 year warranty is no good if you cannot use it - massdrop please contact me as i like the watch if it is not broken - red 24 hr hand cannot be set it skips between the hours and hangs at various points on the dial - so it is worthless

I' m still trying to get any response from them - it is a shame that they do not stand by their product - if this is not resolved not worth the money spent for a broken product that cannot be warranteed

Total newbie here, but what's the difference between the Purist and the other models?

Yes you can, GMT is only an appellation here, referring to timezones in general.
The way it works is you set the time and date normally, then you set the GMT hand separately. While setting the GMT hand, it will jump in one hour increments and you can set it as an offset of your normal hour and minute hand time. Example : if you set your time to 14:30, you can move the red arrow three hours later to 17:30. You can also move it all around the dial and set it three hours earlier to 11:30. The numbers (1 to 24) on the inner ring on the dial will tell you what the red arrow points to.
N.B. : You can't set the GMT hand for half hour time zones (we have one of these in Canada). It only jumps in hour increments and you only have one minute hand anyway (or only one one-sided minute hand).
Now this model has an additional timezone that can be set. You'll see from photos that there's also an outer ring of numbers. This ring is on a rotating separate dial that rotates by operating the pusher at 2 O'clock. Offsetting this outer ring from the inner ring will make it that the red (GMT) hand points to two different hours. You therefore have a GMT hand that can denote two different timezones instead of just one.
You have to understand though that on the GMT models, there will be a bit of confusion about reading the "normal" time (normal hour and minutes hands). What I mean to say is that you have an inner ring of numbers for the GMT hand on the dial that are printed directly besides the hour markers (small rectangles showing the normal 12 hour scale). As @Cjbr89 explained, the "normal" (white) hour hand will make 2 rotations per 24 hours (or 1 per 12). You therefore have two conflicting scales one just beside the other. The hour markers should be (as everyone knows) denoting 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., 11, 12. However, the GMT inner ring that coincides with these markers will read 2, 4, 6, ..., 22, 24. You therefore have to ignore the inner ring while reading the normal time and only take it into account when reading the time of the GMT hand. Of course, you'll see that the GMT scale divided by two equals the "normal" hour scale. This is evident seeing that the GMT hand makes one rotation per 24 hours and the hour hand, two.
You can imagine the purist version as a GMT version where the hour hand is installed on the GMT hand (and the red GMT hand thrown away).

@massdrop you really should have put the quantity numbers so people would have known how many were being offered. It would be nice if you can increase the quantities on all the offerings. Only 35 people have purchased and there are only two options left. That means you had less than 10 of each? That's not much. 😒

Is the "purist" version more desirable? I see that they are sold out already. Tia

TimeoffIn my opinion, the purist models are closer to the DNA/heritage of the Airman range. You have the compromise with the GMT models of having the main hour hand operating on a 12 hour sweep on a 24 hour dial. Yes, you get 3 timezones, but imho, the compromise is not worth it. The purist loses the ability to track a third timezone, but can be used to track two timezones in 24hr time via the main hands and bezel. I speak as the owner of an Airman 18 purist :)

If there will be available blue (or even pumpkin) purist version I would buy it. Quantity of different versions is to little :(
