The GMT is a great watch, wear it in good health.

As I notice the 24 hand is not synched to your home time nor GMT, I've got to ask...what reference do you have the 24 hour hand set to? Just curious as I always like to know the different ways guys use their GMTs.

I work for a German company here in the us. I typically find myself in Germany a couple times a year. I set the 24 to sync up with their time.

Ah yes, always good to know when the boss is gone for the day.

So when you travel to Germany will you reset the 12 hour hand to local time or leave the watch as is and continue to read it as you would at home (Germany off the bezel and home time off the dial)? Assuming you reset to local time and read the time back home off the bezel, it's probably easier in your case to turn the bezel to read home time rather than reset the 24 hour hand. That way you won't have to reset it again when you get back home, just turn the marker back to the top.

Gosh I dig these watches.

I will just leave it as is. Use the 24 as the local time when I am in Germany.

I know how you feel. Very happy with the GMT!!

I keep my 24-hour hand set to "GMT" with 24 bezel lined up at 12 o'clock. I make calulations based on GMT. If need it set to another time I change the direction of 24-hr on bezel.

cop414 · 15 April 2013, 08:48 PM

Congratulations, it looks great! Wear it in good health.

Jim300186 · 15 April 2013, 01:14 PM

Same thing happens to me went to tha ad thinking I was going to get a sub but loved the gmt and your right about the bracelet it's so much nicer with the pcl I think anyway

caryyee · 15 April 2013, 01:25 PM

Great choice, PCL's also get my vote!

MY-WATCH · 15 April 2013, 02:51 PM

Great choice

DreambreaX · 15 April 2013, 03:13 PM

PCL more elegant

threemonkeys · 15 April 2013, 03:50 PM

Both great watches. Now your next choice can be a sub. But which one...?

polarinda · 15 April 2013, 03:54 PM

Can never go wrong with any gmt.

mmmk604 · 15 April 2013, 04:14 PM

Congrats!

I chose a SS SubC as my first sport watch. A TT GMTIIC will follow soon

AquariuM3 · 15 April 2013, 04:45 PM

Congrats but I think you will want the sub because you are going to have lots of scratches on the polished bbracelet of GMT II... I learned the hard way with YM

That in itself is not that big a deal. If scratches on the PCLs become excessive for the owner's satisfaction it is a simple matter to polish them out.

gmtm2 · 15 April 2013, 06:20 PM

the right choice. congrats

TimeOnHand · 15 April 2013, 07:02 PM

Yup both great choices! Congratulations!

shalako · 15 April 2013, 08:55 PM

I've owned both, cases are nearly identical and bearing in mind the GMTC has the triplock crown as well I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's actually water resistant as well to 300M like the SubC, and of course you get the added functionality of it being a GMT, so I would choose the GMTC every time especially as Subs are a little too common for my liking personally.

Finewatch · 15 April 2013, 10:19 PM

Exact same thing happened to me.
Great choice.
Only problem is they are becoming too popular. See them everywhere

Love it. She's a beauty! Wear it in good health! Congrats.

gpfps · 16 April 2013, 10:09 PM

Gmt c great watch but doesn't come close to depth rating of the sub. It might have the trip lock crown,but the back cover is alot thiner than the subs!

Have you actually tested this out?

clu · 16 April 2013, 10:19 PM

Excellent choice, I'd have done the same.

Victory07 · 16 April 2013, 10:22 PM

Excellent choice. Of course my opinion is slightly biased.

JGX · 16 April 2013, 10:24 PM

Many congrats. IMHO, the very best watch in the current Rolex line-up.
