You wanna know something scary. I few days ago I downloaded the GMT II C screen saver from the Rolex website. I am sitting here at my computer on the phone and it comes on. The second hand is sweeping and the date of the watch is today and its the exact time of day. Did any of you know that?

Robb · 13 March 2008, 09:26 AM

Yes, its my screensaver too!!

frostie · 13 March 2008, 09:27 AM

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 March 2008, 09:36 AM

How cool is that?!

ryan_m · 13 March 2008, 10:16 AM

its my screen saver aswell

marshallr47 · 13 March 2008, 10:18 AM

The Daytona is the same way. It's pretty cool.

SSD · 13 March 2008, 10:22 AM

I love the Blue Sub screen saver, too. I can tell the time from across the room when I'm busy!

sherwin · 13 March 2008, 10:25 AM

i believe it uses a script that runs off your computer set time. so nothing new here. nice screensaver nonetheless

Kevin Barrett · 13 March 2008, 11:13 AM

It's pretty funny that it's my screen saver as well.

I took mine in a little different direction,

I edited the registry of my computer. My computer
automatically goes to a time server twice a day
instead of once a week.ANAL HUH?

This ensures that the wonky computer clock is right.
My screen saver is not ALWAYS exact to my watch
but usually only a very few seconds off.

P.S. I don't really know if it's supposed to work like that
but often it's dead on

blackrhino12 · 13 March 2008, 11:16 AM

Is there a Sub or Sea Dweller? If so how to download?

Terry Newton · 13 March 2008, 12:16 PM

When you go on to Rolex's website you set your own time zone. That sets that watch to show the actual time and date in your time zone. I believe it is actually set to the atomic clock it is so accurate.

It's awesome.

unclesallie · 13 March 2008, 12:39 PM

i think set to your computer clock...change your computer's clock and the GMTII-c's time will change. check it out.
best, dan

TAT2 · 13 March 2008, 05:04 PM

I wasn't aware until now but that is so cool!

It is now my screensaver!
Good call guys

Chris B · 13 March 2008, 06:16 PM

Nice one fellas, love the reflection of the sweep

topcat30093 · 13 March 2008, 06:38 PM

Sorry Terry just seen your comments

It's awesome.

Yes, the clock is accurate because it is synced to the internal clock on your computer. Whatever time your computer says, the watch will say as well.

I want an Explorer II screen saver.

I just found it! Thank you so much Chris B, I've been looking for an Explorer II screensaver for a long time. I can;t believe it was just right the entire time.

Thanks again!!

DSJ · 14 March 2008, 04:40 AM

I have Bluesy.

Scooby · 14 March 2008, 04:44 AM

I have the IIc as well.

jasper · 14 March 2008, 05:30 AM

Very nice...thanks for the tips TRF.

rob · 14 March 2008, 05:47 AM

Got the screen saver before I got the watch (Jul 07), was bummed that the SS is only for PC and not Mac. Only had the screen saver at work, at home I have the GOLD (yuk) GMT on the Mac.

krattzz · 17 March 2008, 12:41 PM

Question. Sorry if it's a dumb one. My green 24 hour hand does not match the green hand on my GMT II C Rolex screen saver. The time and date match but not my 24 hour hand. What gives, should I be concerned about this? I set my watch as per recommendations but could use some advice. Thanks.....Mark

jasonbellevue · 17 March 2008, 01:31 PM

I've always had the Blue Sub screensaver downloaded from Rolex, it's pretty cool.
