Here's a link that I've had bookmarked for a few months. I see questions all the time asking what the differences are between the GMT-Master and the GMT-Master II. This article describes the differences and has some great pics as well. Enjoy!

Thanks for that colemantis, very good read.... as is the review you wrote!

Enjoyed them both emmensely, especially the photos!

The 1675 is getting higher and higher on my wish list above the later model GMTs.

Glad you all found it interesting!

I have always thought that the early GMTs ar great looking watches. I recently had a chance to buy a 1675 from my local AD. Didn't know much about them at the time so decided to be sensible and do some research before parting with my cash. Turned out to be a transitional 16750 with matt dial - also had all boxes, papers and had just had a ful Rolex Service - all this for only 1k (Sterling). Needless to say when I raced back to the AD the watch had gone...........still getting over it.

Since then I have been keeping my eyes open for a good quality 1675/16750 with matt dial and papers etc. They appear to be getting harder to find at reasonable prices.

Many thanks for the link.

Nightflight wd very much like to hear some expert opinions on the relative merits of GMT Master against GMT Master 11, and vice versa..which is the better watch? which is more collectible? an 80s/90s GMT Master or a 00's GMT Master 11?

jimmy1022 · 20 July 2010, 01:26 AM

Does anyone have another link to the original txt ?

duc848 · 11 November 2011, 12:08 PM

good info about the GMT, but can anyone point out the big differences between the GMT and GMT Master II?

laphroaig007 · 11 November 2011, 12:32 PM

Caliber is different, as the GMT II runs a GMT independent mechanism.

Actsulb · 14 November 2011, 07:19 AM

Very interesting, thanks for the info.
