I'm trying to decide between two watches. Let me first start by saying that I have a GMT ll c right now and I want something that is very different that would give me equal wrist time with the GMT, but a totally different look. The 2 that I have thought about is the Deep sea blue or the DJ ll. Very different watches from each other, but also different then the GMT. I tried both and both are amazing. I like the size of the deep sea and I like the look in a different way with the DJ. What is every ones thoughts here?

Both great choices, I'm actually not sure which I'd choose. Which means my post is useless!

But whatever you choose, post pics.

Since a DJII isn't really a dress watch and you like the size of the DSSD, I'd go DSSD blue now and look at a watch with strap as the next piece (JLC?). That would make for a great trio.

I like sports watches myself so...dssd

wisguy · 31 December 2015, 05:20 PM

The DSSD looks dangerously similar to the GMT and the Datejust II has a again a similar look, especially bracelet wise...

If you want something totally different why not look at another brand?

This is the Rolex Forum, but there are others out there.

I'd go DJII for most variety

brandrea · 1 January 2016, 12:31 AM

If you want something different I'd suggest the DJ2. So many dial options available.

I usually lean towards the sports models but in this case, I agree with the above. There are so many options with the DJII. I'd recommend something like a smooth bezeled, silver stick dial DJII. This can be dressed up or down, and its silver coloring goes with any outfit/color.

Not my image below but it came up in a google search from another member on the forum:

DSSD-Blue is a big thick watch really like mine. Compare several watches before you commit to it.

tomilg · 1 January 2016, 01:08 AM

Why not look at the Milguass with either a white dial or the newer Z-Blue Dial.....both very different from the GMT

bkertzer89 · 1 January 2016, 01:13 AM

deepsea

in 30 years the deepsea will be much rarer than the DJ2 which will be littered all over the usa or canada :)

Is there another brand? lolol

The DJII is very versatile. If I had a BLNR, I would opt for DJII for flexibility. Plus, it's a great watch in general.

Flying Cat · 1 January 2016, 05:04 AM

I too have a GMT II. When I started to look for another Rolex with very different look, I decided to get the Explorer II white polar. Beautiful watch, totally different than the GMT II, yet it has GMT hand which I use very often.

AK797 · 1 January 2016, 06:03 AM

Also look at an AP RO.

Big fan of the DJ2 here...but I believe I would go after the D- Blue first. And then get a DJ2.

Are you wanting dressy or sporty. If dressy I'd go with the DJ II. I like this example a lot. I prefer the stick markers to big Roman numerals, but that's obviously a personal opinion. I have the DSSD blue but I definately lean strongly to the casual sporty end of the spectrum. For example, I have the Patek in my Avitar but will probably never wear it. I tried it on for 5 minutes and then took it off. I haven't even thought about wearing it again. So it all depends on what your looking for. I do think the DJ II above is more different than your GMT. I agree with looking at other brands like AP.

Duke84 · 1 January 2016, 09:52 AM

I'd go with the DateJust II for something different.

I like the versatility of the DJll...dress it up...or with flip flops n jeans.

Diving watches and suits...really!? Call the fashion police!
