  • gmt master 2 or explorer 2

    hi there,

    i was actually surfing for information on which watch to buy when i chanced upon this website.

    i've worn an explorer ii for the past 5 years (a present from my wife), but unfortunately it was lost recently.

    i've enjoyed my previous watch and it suits my job perfectly, but i wonder: what is the allure of the gmt master ii? it seems generally more popular than the explorer ii.

    i also understand that there are a few revisions/versions of gmt masters: the older ones that tell 2 time zones (with/without quick set/1 hr red hand jumps, etc), and the newer one which tells 3 time zones.

    how is the third time zone told?

    i've seen some second hand rolexes (dating to maybe 70s and 80s) being sold whereby the caseback's inner rim has corroded - can/will RSC actually change the caseback or entire case of the watch in such a situation when you send it in for servicing?

    i wanna thank everyone who contributed to compiling the list of places to buy a pre-owned rolex in singapore.

    i'll be back in a few months' time and i will spend the time from now until then decided if buying a brand new watch is worth it...

    meanwhile i shall surf those sites and have a look at the prices of the watches in comparison with what i can save.

    a friend of mine even mentioned to take a quick trip to macau and buy a replacement from a pawnshop!

    well, if anybody feels like discussing what i've mentioned above, feel free to reply to my post.

    cheers!

    first of all, sorry to hear that you lost the watch given by your wife.

    to answer your question on how to set 3 time zone on a GMT.

    set the hour & minute hand to home country.
    set the red GMT time hand to country you are in.

    then either use home country time or current local time, rotate the bezel with the zero marker to the hour of the time of referencing (home time or current time). then base on +- hours, you should be able to tell the time for the third country.

            for resale value, i think it will be proportional as explorer II and GMT Master II are priced differently.

            however the GMT Master II 16710 is currently discontinued and as such, prices for brand new piece is going for close to 8K though the list price is 7444. currently i believe there are ppl still looking for the 16710. so the resale value is currently higher.

            as for aesthetics purposes. it is your personal preference. some like rotating bezel, some don't. some like colorful bezel. some don't. personally i prefer the explorer II compared to GMT Master II (16710)

                good buy

                brand new or pre-own?

                white or black face?

                how much?
