So many Choices, So Little Money

I am looking and another Rolex and can't decide which direction to go...

1) GMT IIc
2) Explorer II white face

I presently have a SD and a LV Sub as well as the Omega GMT black face. I love the look of the EXP II but as mentioned several times before it looks small compared to the rest.

Your thoughts?

The Explorer 2 white would add some diversity to your collection....plus a white dial is great! But.....you have to love it on. If it doesn't smile at you, go with the one that does!

I would get the EXP II hands down, not even close IMO. The size is a non-issue to me. They are VERY close in size.

I personally like GMT IIc more than Ex II, but since you already have SD and Sub, I thnk you are better off with Ex II as it would be something different to your collection.

GMT IIc - picking mine up tomorrow. Feels just as good as it looks. Hard to not love it!

Another vote for the GMT2C, but I plan to pick up a ExpII in the next few months. You can't lose!

IIC - no way I'd pick the other (have owned the iic and black expii before). Then again, you said you like the ExpII...

I don't like either personally, I'd add another sub or GMT II (Non C).

I have been thinking of the GMT IIc and white exp II for the past few weeks. They are both IMO must haves from Rolex other than the SD and Daytona! You might have a very hard time choosing between this two beauties.
