Hi all,

Which will you choose?

1. Rolex GMT2C TT

or

2. Panerai 88

I want to get a GMT watch but cannot decide which. Can you all help me decide. Thanks.

this is a (mostly) rolex forum... you're likely to get more supporters for rolex here.

if you asked in a pam forum, you're likely to get more pam supporters.

you've not actually told us much about your existing (if any) watch collection, so most people would not be able to give you any advice from a collection angle.

although you said you wanted a "GMT watch," you did not mention if you were a frequent flyer (a delinked hour hand is more important for us, so i recommend the rollie) or if you want to monitor a second time zone on a some what "permanent" basis (eg, airman/trader).

finally, you did not tell us if you've tried on the watches yet... and if so, what you like/dislike about each (eg, gmt2c tt is too flashy, or the pam's uncomfortable, etc).

blindly asking for advice on "which watch should i buy" will probably not help your decision making. ie, who's to say the pam's dial is inferior in some way to the gmt2c's dial? or who's to say wear gmt2c TT makes the owner come across like a dandy?

p/s: go for whichever you prefer AFTER you've tried them both on your wrist. if you're still undecided, come back and furnish the above answers for a better opinion from fellow forum members...
