I voted with my money - GMT IIc with brushed PCL (brushed by my AD about 3 months after purchase when I just could not bear more scratches on PCL). Tool watch without too much bling.

Love the GMT hand, ceramic bezel I can set to any time zone and the quickset 12 hour hand.

Either one you pick you will have great watch.

GMTIIC for me.

Good luck!

AK797 · 24 January 2013, 09:02 AM

Gmtc, both are very functional but this just looks so much better.

Kiddodoc · 24 January 2013, 10:13 AM

I voted for the GMTIIc because it has more of a luxurious look and feel to it. I do like the Black dial Exp II but if I didn't have either(and I only have the GMTIIc.......but) I would get the GMT. Tough choice!

GMT II C for me

PHBouche · 24 January 2013, 10:32 AM

GMT for me. that is my first rolex and it still goes on rotation with the rest of the watches.

warrior · 24 January 2013, 10:49 AM

I find it harder to read the time with the GMT IIC with all the busyness and bold numbers and no color break up. Also, I find the GMT ( with all the flash and bold numbers) less of a timeless style.

I'd go EXPII. It looks good.... not too "look at me".

sea-dweller · 24 January 2013, 11:16 AM

Explorer II for me

subtona · 24 January 2013, 11:26 AM

GMT would be my first choice if the Submariner didn't exist.

but alas it does and i own it

so Explorer is a no brainer for me

•black bezel so much like a sub
•2 time zones seems like just the right amount

...

3 timezones, what would i do with 3 timezones

I wanted to thank everyone for all of their invaluable feedback, I wholeheartedly appreciate it. I have made my decision and an "incoming" will be here soon, look out for it.

SUBversive · 24 January 2013, 11:29 AM

Voted for gmt. Then read the post. And I bet you would like both.

Director EDTF · 24 January 2013, 11:36 AM

GMT, George!

KBM · 24 January 2013, 11:38 AM

Duuuuude! I'll chant it for you: G-M-T!!! G-M-T!!! G-M-T!!!

Ceramic + green hand = no brainer! =)

George Id be so impressed if you went against the 73% of members here and got the Expy... lets see...

Gmt C first, then EXP 2 for me

Wow! Good facts = TRF! thanks Kilyung. Cool reason to have one. Albeit South for me.

Gaijin · 24 January 2013, 11:54 PM

I have owned both. GMT IIC. Best looking modern SS Rolex in my humble opinion.

Cermic GMT is hard to beat! Dresses up/down a little easier than the EXP II IMHO.
