Anyways, of the bunch you're considering I would say the Submariner is the best known, followed by the GMTIIc and then the Explorer II....but it is what you think that counts....just don't buy on impulse and give yourself 2 or 3 visits to the AD to decide....make sure you can return it (don't wear it or get it sized immediately because then you can't return it), and check for "re-stocking fees", etc. Remember if you size/wear it...no AD will take it back and it's classified as used and yours to keep until you sell it privately (AD's will seldom give fair value on used watches).

That is really a valuable advice but I think most of the dealers consider it as yours once the warranty card has been stamped regardless whether you wore it or not!

The AD has three SUBc and one GMTIIc... I left for an hour to walk it off and went back to ask them if they were willing to make a deal on the GMTIIc... It was sold.

this makes the decision even harder! it signifies that the GMT is popular

I can't go for three Rolex watches that's too much, beside I like to try other trade marks from while to another.
