I really missed my Explorer I 39mm

Looking at my Rolex, thinking if the GMT IIc should go since it has the least wrist time.

What are the thoughts here? thanks..

Rocco22 · 13 April 2013, 10:04 PM

I don't have one and never have.dont get me wrong it is a beautiful watch but I generally like watches with less complications.i like simple things.if you are contemplating getting rid of it then go with your gut.

SWISSAHOLICS · 13 April 2013, 10:19 PM

I owned a TT GMT IIc but ended selling it....nothing against it....just didn't excite me the way Subs do.

+1

I have two Subs

and never get bored

My SS GMT IIc gets more wrist time then my TT GMT IIc. It's a perfect everyday watch and dresses up nice too.

My Dad wears a TT GMT IIc and the TT just falls so perfectly into place for the GMT.

I generally dislike TT watches. The GMTII is the exception.

Tha watch is brilliant!

MrCaliber · 13 April 2013, 11:19 PM

I sold my GMTii and bought a sub.

Flyjet601 · 13 April 2013, 11:23 PM

Had both SS and TT in the GMT IIc.....sold them both.
didnt like the case design.....too blocky for me.

Bought a Polar Exp 2 42...never been happier...

Ditto. Love my sub more.

Just sold my GMT-C M series last week. I owned it for 1 year and I think it is the best, most versatile modern stianless Rolex available. I never used the GMT function, I really liked the PCLs, I wore it to work Mon thru Thurs. I bought a mint 1680 that is so nice - it replaced the GMT-C.
I have nothing but positive things to say about the GMT-C

Same here.

I own GMT IIc and love wearing it. It is the most comfortable Rolex I ever owned. I have bought/sold many other pieces, but GMT stays with me.

The only thing I did was to brush the PCL to make it a true tool watch. The hairline scratches did not go well with me. Now I love it. Plan on keeping it for good.

jay1988 · 13 April 2013, 11:46 PM

If it came with BCL's I would of bought it over the Sub simply because it's an extra function and "rarer" than the Sub.

I know it's a very simple modification but modding my first Rolex wouldn't feel right.

What does what we have to say have to do with it ? If you aren't wearing the watch then you clearly aren't a fan yourself.

Be careful of the grass is greener syndrome though. You may buy that 39mm Exp and it will get just as little wrist time. You could also start "really missing" your GMT.

I totally agree. But when I had my Exp1 39, my GMT IIc also got less wrist time as well

landroverking · 13 April 2013, 11:56 PM

Not a fan. Prefer vintage GMT.

+1 Like the flexibility of switching bezel inserts...and not a big PCL fan.

I don't have one but have been considering one seriously lately. My wife will not be happy. Between an Explorer and the GMTc, GMTc any day.

Victory07 · 14 April 2013, 12:59 AM

I have both. Stainless GMTiic and TT blue face sub c. Bought em at the same time. Liked the GMT so much never wore the sub. As a result- the Sub is for sale.

I am the other way round. I wear my 116613LB more than my GMT IIc, and to think I am not a true fan of TT.

airchitect · 14 April 2013, 01:13 AM

I did for one day. Took it back in favor of a pepsi.

Tools · 14 April 2013, 01:22 AM

I have a lot of GMT's..

I do not have the latest Disco/nightclub GMTIIc and don't see myself ever having one...

the thing is, I can't find a PEPSI coming my way.

and I may have been too used to maxi-dials already..

East Bay Rider · 14 April 2013, 01:28 AM

Not me. Z serial 16710 here.

GradyPhilpott · 14 April 2013, 01:33 AM

They are beauties to behold, but I have no use for a GMT watch, so it's doubtful that I'll ever own one.

Ravager135 · 14 April 2013, 01:37 AM

I personally love the GMTII in all its variations. My problem is I own a 16610 which aesthetics alone is very similar to the GMT and I own a 216570 which is functionally very similar to the GMT. This had made purchasing one hard to justify. I think if someone is getting their first Rolex the GMT is the only way to go but that is my opinion alone. I am going to see if Basel reveals anything new in this range and make my decision to purchase one sooner or later based on that. I also feel that the GMT is one of Rolex's best looking models in precious metals.
