Two superb watches, both with the Time Zone facility and identical 3186 movements now with the Blue Parachrome spring......and that's where the similarity ends!!

On the one hand we have the stunning and more expensive GMT-IIC with the Ceramic bezel, so easy to handle, the more solid and improved bracelet and clasp as well as the Maxi dial and TRIPLOCK crown!!

On the other hand, we have the much cheaper and more affordable version of the 3186 movement - the now famous Explorer-II which is available in WHITE or BLACK dials. One of the most comfortable Rolexes out there at just 125 grams, this baby can do almost all that his above kissing cousin can, except rotate his bezel!!

The bracelet has hollow links and the clasp is still the same old one (now with a secure lock), but it certainly seems to serve the purpose and is still immensely strong!!
