My wife and I are going to be restructuring our life and finances so that in a 5 year plan we can both work from home on a much lower income by have more time to do what we love which is church work with kids. I want to get one more Rolex before we do this and I will need to be content for a while as we go down this road.
Here are the three that really appeal to me most and I have no rhyme or reason.

The New Explorer 2 with black dial. I have had a 16570 and a 216570 with white face and sold them shortly after getting them.

The Datejust 2 stainless white gold with blue sticks. A lot of the time I will just start working in the yard or checking under the hood of a car and think the bezel could get destroyed .I am rough on things.

Then New Blue GMT really grabs me as low key but really nice .

So there are my choices I will have to live with one for a while. I appreciate opinions on these 3.

I have no interest in others at this time. Thank you.

New day night gmt will be a good choice.

snowpea · 12 May 2013, 04:24 PM

If it's going to be for a while, I would choose the new GMT II BB. Might as well get something that will be newer longer, and scratch resistant bezel.

soho · 12 May 2013, 07:53 PM

Between those my vote would also be the GMT II black blue. Good luck with your decision, and much more importanly good luck heading down the new path you have chosen!

New GMT for sure.

You've already had the new ExpII and flipped it, and are second guessing the DJ2.

Can't argue with this logic.

caryyee · 14 May 2013, 08:00 AM

I vote the new black/blue GMT ...

Lucky777 · 14 May 2013, 08:29 AM

Get the new GMTII because I believe it will serve you as a well rounded watch. You won't have to worry as much as with the DJII. Also, the GMTII bi-color bezel is bada$$

As much as I would like to break trend ........ Go batman

Another +1 on what Travis said

blackbear · 14 May 2013, 04:57 PM

Well the responses certainly make a statement. Now just to wait to see one in person. Thanks everyone.

RolexDivers · 14 May 2013, 05:11 PM

definitely the new GMT Batman .... it is worth the wait..

benlee · 14 May 2013, 06:03 PM

The GMT as a new model, might not be out so soon. For versatility, nothing beats the Exp2.

GermanyMatt · 14 May 2013, 06:59 PM

The GMT BB - Travis speaks the truth.

up2nogood · 14 May 2013, 07:07 PM

Go the Travis.

I mean GMT II....

Camel · 14 May 2013, 11:16 PM

GMT IIc Day / Night - and if you can't wait that long, the DJ II. (It looks even nicer outside)

roger0770 · 15 May 2013, 12:45 AM

i always have a soft spot for the gmt, so the new gmt gets my vote
