[batamboy]

Go for GMT 2c TT..........no regret....

yes! fully agree.. gmt2 stands out from normal rolex professional series... I a big fan of panerai.. but this time round i in favour of gmt2.

[Gannet]

Absolutely the GMT 2C is a better choice...

[exxondus]

I agree!! If really have to choose PAM88 or GMTIIc, it got to be GMTIIc for me too (I am currently in the same situation GMTIIc or PAM312 )

now elshan selling a 312 in bracelet cheapa cheap.....good choice if u wanna get the 312

Rolex GMT IIc gets my vote!

[Destro22BT]

Rolex GMT2C TT gets my vote. Just go try it on. The ceramic bezel will blow you over, together with the improved bracelet, clasp and the hidden extension link. True, it costs more than a PAM88, but you're definitely paying for good stuff.

I hearts goes to TT GMTIIc.

[honestdeal]

GMT gets my vote.

But in case you gets the PAM 88, i have some brand new straps which I didnt get to use the last time round. ( JnS )

[eele]

Throwing in the vote for GMT also.

Go get it, Tiger!!

I have both, GMTIIc TT gets my vote. The feel when wearing my 116713 simply makes me feel good, the pam so so only.

Actually I would get the Pam88 nice looking bugger! The GMTIIC uses maxi dial, C.bezel is top notch and polish links with Green Hands makes it stands out however not sure if you own an LV but if you're like me, I own an LV and would personally prefer to get PAM 88 instead just for the reason that it is different to the current LV I own.

This is how I compared LV also maxi dial and the hour markers are Dotted. Getting GMTIIC a great watch of cos but also dotted hour markers which makes both of them the same in certain way.

Having a PAM88 this would be totally different. Polished case, different hour markers and hands plus interchangeable straps. Would be fun to mix and match with your daily wear.

Anyway both are great watches to own. Good luck to your choice as there is no right or wrong to owning anyone of them.

Cheers! The above is just my personal opinion.

[batamboy]

The answer is obvious.. Majority wins!

[Haolian King]

Haha... thank you all for your opinions. Ya both watches are different and unique in their own way. I do have a Sub LV and I know how solid rolex watches are... Shall make a decision next week.

[jycegrcia]

I have both GMT2C and Panarai 88 . GMT2C is great as a daily wearer, I have tried it while traveling and seems quite better then 88 as functionality wise. GMT2C based watches are great and good value to boot.

[sportee]

I prefer the GMT2C... have both the gmt2c and the pam 88 and i would say The GMT 2c stands out. Many bros here are right about the complicated dial on the 88. Dunno why but everytime when i wore the 88, my wrist bone always hit against the case...

[terrenceterrence]

it depends on how are you going to use the GMT hand.

Setting the GMT time on the 88 is a pain unlike the GMTII. there's no independent hour hands setting on the 88.

if you travel quite freqently through different time zones and require to track multiple time quickly, the GMTII is the best. you can actually use the main hour hands as local time and GMT hand as home time.

unlike the 88, u can only set the GMT hands forward. to set the time is tedious. it is best for ppl who needs to track another time zone in their home country. if you're for example a forex trader, football bookie...etc then it;s good.

hope my explanation is clear...in my not so powderful england :P
