This is Watch Your Style.
My name's Eric.
Now, it's been a while since I've had a chance, really just because I have been taken advantage
of some of the inventory to bring to you guys some really unique watches to do reviews on,
but it's one of the watches that I've had in line that I've wanted to do.
One of the more simple based watches and it's also one of my personal favorite watches.
That watch being the Rolex GMT-Master II.
The GMT is a watch that has a very special place in my heart.
The reason why is because the first high end watch that I ever had was a Rolex GMT Master
II Coke.
The black and red was given to me by my father on my 18th birthday.
And I still have it today.
Actually, my sister is using it and she better be taking care of it because it's all original.
It's never been polished.
The bezel is in fantastic condition.
The GMT for me is the model I've always liked.
When they came out with the new GMT ceramic, obviously it was a no brainer, there was a
lot of changes.
I'm going to do later on a video in the future on the Batman and I'm also going to do a separate
video on the Pepsi and the Coke.
That way there's a lot I have to talk about the GMT, but today I'm going to keep it simple
with the ceramic models.
And some of the things they changed on the new ceramic version are...it has the Maxi
case, which has the wider lugs.
It's got the larger crown guards and the older ones had a small crown, but the new ceramic
version has a bigger crown, similar to the the Submariner crown.
Obviously, all the new watches across the board have the new bracelets with the new
clasps, which everybody likes.
It's fantastic.
I take it it's almost redundant to say a ceramic bezel because we obviously know that.
It's a 40 millimeter case.
Fantastic sports watch and for an all-gold version like this one where the retail is
like $33,000.
Yes, $33,000 is a lot, but for a comparable model with other brands, the retail is not
that high.
Other brands will offer you a watch in all gold for $60,000, so it's relatively not so
expensive compared to other brands, for something comparable.
So there's many different options you can get with the GMT.
The most traditional one is the standard black with the green hands, and you'll notice it
displays GMT Master 2 in green.
Love that touch.
Something about the GMT that's a little bit different than the Submariner is the bezel
is a little bit more busy.
The reason for, which I'll talk to you now in a few, it's because it's about the 24 hours.
And if you don't know, that other green hand with the arrow is for a second time zone.
They offer it in stainless steel, two-tone, which is very popular, and the yellow gold.
Yellow gold has two options: you got the anniversary green dial or the traditional black dial as
well.
If you're looking to get a all-gold sports watch, the GMT is a good option, because usually
they're priced a little bit less than the Submariner, so that's something that you might
wanna consider if you're trying to get an all gold sports watch, Rolex exactly.
One key feature of the GMT Master II is that it features a dual time zone function.
Now, it's very simple.
It's like any other watch that's dual time zone.
Pretty much you're able to keep the time wherever you're at, for example, Miami, it's 12 o'clock
noon right now, and in London it's 5:00 PM.
The only difference is you're going to have on your regular clock hands, you're going
to have it set to 12:00 o'clock, but the green hand is on a 24-hour scale.
Now, the 24-hour scale you're going to want to set it half of the 12 hours is obviously
for AM, the other 12 are for PM, so that way you keep track of whatever other time zone
you're setting it to, whether it's AM or PM.
Now, that's obviously going to take a little bit of practice and you're going to have to
play with the watch a little bit, but it's not that complicated.
Once you figure it out, it's actually very simple, very handy.
So as far as the Watch Game goes, the GMT is a solid watch.
Depending on how advanced you are in the Watch Game, obviously you're going to be anywhere
from stainless steel to the yellow gold.
But the GMT is obviously a solid watch, man.
You can't go wrong.
It's the latest model, ceramic, very well respected.
I think if you don't have one in your collection, it's something you might want to consider,
specially if you're a Rolex guy.
It's a must-have.
My favorite one of the GMT is the yellow gold like this one with the green dial.
I just think it's different.
It will not be confused with the Submariner, which could be the all-black Submariner or
the blue Submariner.
No confusion.
When you have the black bezel with thee green dial from a mile away, it's a GMT.
Something different.
You don't see too many of them.
You'll probably see five Submariners before you see one green-dial GMT.
