GMT master VS Explore 2

[ChanSB]

Go for Explorer II. Orange hand looks fantastic. GMT II would be great if the green hand has the same size as the Exp II.

My vote go to GMT Master II. With more sporty looks, it won't go dated.

Below are my criteria set for the watches and assessment are my opinions

1) Looks : GMT 2
The robustness and ceramic bezel give a watch a more masculine look compared to the Explorer IMHO. Although the case of the Explorer is larger the design of the casing still make the GMT look larger. (optical illusion at work)

2) Movements: Explorer 2
New movement sport the Paraflex balances to enhance shock absorption

3) Luminosity: GMT2
The Blue Glow seems bit darker when put side by side compared to the green glow. GMT illume seem more intense.

GMT 2 is my winner…

Explorer II, white !!

Large 42mm case, stylish bezel, large orange retro 24hr hand, only one simple all-steel model.

Not sure are we talking about the 5-digit or 6-digit models here but I usually wear my e2 white for my biz trips.
