Decision point is here ... Keep the GMTIIC or get the new black Explorer II...

[Otto]

It looks like the 5th is the day. I can't really justify both watches because I wear SS watches infrequently. I'm thinking that right now I don't really have a rough and ready Rolex watch (yes; I know they are all truly near indestructible!). All of my watches are polished and dressier. On the other hand, I have now owned the GMT IIC twice and something made me buy it again. It is a great watch. I'm not yet willing to part with my SS Daytona. Oh well, I count myself lucky to face this dilemma and it gives me something new to think about today.

As for size, I'm doing OK with the 41 mm Day Date II, but also wonder if 42 mm might be too big for me; though I tried on another "dummy" Explorer II a week or so ago and it fit better than the one in the photos below. That watch was very loose on my arm. In any event, it is smaller than my new G Shock below; which I'd probably wear everyday if I didn't have my Rolex watches! It's my running watch (pardon the pun).
