Explorer II & GMT Master II

FINALLY PULLED THE TRIGGER.

Recently bought the Explorer II and then "accidentally" bought the GMT Master II less than a month later. My justification: The housing market is high, the stock market can't be trusted, so why not put a watch (or two) on the wrist for the time being? =)

I think i'm hooked.

Can't honestly say I've ever bought a Rolex because I was looking at my investment alternatives and decided that's where to put my money.

Very nice duo, BTW.

great pair, love the complimentary aspects of having both. Traveling must require tough decisions to be made

Almost got a submariner but I fell in love with the orange and green splashes of color.

And yes.. flying out tonight, and still undecided as to which one flies with me!

Great pair! Now you can track up to 5 time zones at the same time. :-)

Some folks only managed to do it with three time zones:
