Is GMT Master II a practical watch to get for frequent traveller?

[sshark]

When come to actual use I find that digital watches are more practical. They can switch between timezone with a click or 2. And also predefined time zones with DST.

taxico and sshark: You guys got a point too.

Oceanklassik: I thought you already saw it at the other thread.

I have GMT II & the Explorer II, but would prefer the explorer II for travelling purposes.

I have yet to travel with my rolex... Casio is my num1 choice for travelling.

Nothing beats Casio in terms of practicality.. Stop watch, coutdown timer, world time, accurate to +/-15s a month.

All these for about 1-2% the the price of a GMT Master IIc.

Maybe I should go and get a Casio. But I have Timex.

Then just use ur timex for oversea then rolex for local use...

a great watch to travel with if you don't plan to rough it out.

How many of you (I mean "us"), spent thousands of $ on a watch mainly for practical reason? To me function like GMT on an expensive watch is a nice-to-have, while I love chronographs merely due to aesthetics reason.

Having said that...GMT is not only useful during travel, but also useful when you work with or constantly in contact with friends/relatives in a different time zone, which is very common nowadays.

Hi All

Newbie here .. spent 2 weeks reading up on the threads here and i must say its very informative !!!

I was torn between the GMT2 and the Sub2 but i dunno why i keep looking at the GMT

I travel ard the APAC region for work hence dont really need a GMT for travels but .. for work i report to US and those US hrs are a chore ... so i guess this best fits the bill.

I am on the fence about getting a brand new one at about +/- 11k or to get a preowned at a lower price ?

Seen many forumers walking into shops here n there n see this n that .. but due to my ulu-ness (i stay in east and work in east) the last time i went to orchard road was 2 yrs back ... havent even been to ION etc

So i havent got the chance to walk into shops to see the watches ... Any place to recommend for pre-owned Rolex watches besides Passions and Hobbylink (i go to Sam for RC stuffs)

Also whats the average of a pre-owned GMT2 TT ceramic .... if theres a difference of a few thousand then i might get the pre-owned and use the spare for another watch .. the Tag Autavia ..

any tips welcome ...

Gave up the idea of ebay ... just dont feel safe

thanks !
