Thanks Samuel,
So the Explorer 2 has 2 time zones but a fixed bezel, think that's right, so how does that compare comfort wise . I would guess it weighs somewhere between the exp 1 and the GMT2c

Yes two time zones on the Exp II and fixed bezel. Weight? Cant compare it to your Gmt2 because I dont own one. However for me I'd say that my Exp II and my SubC are close in how the feel weight wise. The Exp I compares better to my older Sub in weight with the Exp I feeling a little heavier due to the band.

So now with your Gmt2 and the Explorer whats next on your list???

Oh please don't start me off again...... Well I was thinking.........oh no

I have always liked watches, but in the last 3-4 months I can't stop looking at all the different models and the next minute I've bought one. Quite like the Milgauss green one, or a sub date,but its similar to the GMT, like the rarity of the oysterquartz , they all fascinate me to be honest, I even looked at a really old one, a 6694 I think it was but then read they are accurate to 1-2 minutes a day so that put me off. What do you think on that lot?

Well normally I'd say that everybody that has a Rolex collection has to own at least one Submariner but since you went the Gmt2 route I'd probably say no for you because of the similaraties. However I'm sure that there are numerous people on this forum alone that have both. I AGREE with 100% about the Milgauss GV(green one). Thats probably my next one or a Daytona.

Oh come on Samuel, you mean a 116400 GV don't you. As you may have guessed I have just found a list of all the model numbers . Ye I like the look of that, not seen one yet though. On the sub side of things my local RSC guy has got a 116610 LV, think that's right, a hulk, that looks interesting

Im sure no matter what Rolex you pick it will be awesome. Rolex doesnt make to many watches I dont like. The problem with Rolex is that they make to MANY I like

Good luck with your decison but now its time to just sit back and rejoice about your latest addition and not worry about whats next. Sorry about the model number situation. I refer to most Rolex models by there model number. Im a finance director. I like numbers
