anyone own one of these?whats the other finger for?? theres hour,minute andsecond and another finger???
its either one of these or a submariner
what they like to live with ,service etc??
many thanks gary

 

the GMT is a extra hour hand,, so you always know what the time is at home,,, the explorer is even cooler as the extra hand is a 24 hour movement as further north you go you dont get 24 hour days so cant always tell if its night time or day time

ive got a GMT thats a cool watch ( though its in the watch shop having the glass repaired,,,,, and will be there till i get rich enough to pay the bill pmsl )

i bought the GMT as it looks like the submariner and was cheeper,, didnt know the difference tbh

as for the watch,,, well it tells the time and every cunt thinks its a fake so easier to wear my seiko kinetic ti

 

Ive got one

The fourth pointer measures time on the 24 hour clock around the face of the watch which helps you track a second time zone. You can rotate the bezel to offset for hours deviation from GMT too.

Service costs for any rolex arent cheap (guess at 400-500 every 5 years) but its a robust watch and mine has taken a load of abuse. Runs about +2 seconds per month so accurate (for a manual watch!)

If its a toss up betwen a submariner and GMTII key difference are

GMTII can measure a second time zone
GMTII has a larger case than submarner with wider lugs which can be a visual issue for some
GMTII has ceramic bezel
GMTII has shiny centre band on strap which some love, some hate
GMTII its a heavy watch, slightly heavier and bulkier than a sub which may make it harder to wear under a shirt cuff
GMT "only" water resistant to 300m (think standard sub is 300m too but sea-dweller is 1200m and new deep sea is 3000m)

try them both on and see which you prefer. Both are awesome watches.

 

Worth noting there is a new GMTII whcih I discussed above. The older GMTII does not have all of those features and actually looks more like a sub.
The original GMTII is now discontinued and replaced by the GMTII. The older GMTII looks more like a sub as is less flashy but if you want one, move quick before they all disappear!
