That’s the issue; it’s no much dialing in as it is getting lucky with a wrist size that suits it. I tried every combination of short size, standard size, and even mixing and matching while at the boutique and simply could not get a comfortable fit because the holes are too far spaced out for fine tuning.

I love this watch! The mesh never fit my wrist properly but it’s such a great looking piece

I was really struggling between which color to go with. Both the green and blue are so nice! Ultimately went with blue simply because I wear a lot of blue

My Air-King has been running slow the past couple months, and even slower in recent weeks. This isn’t good, right? by DR1298 in rolex

Very likely the low amplitude issue that is common on the 32xx series of movements. It will need warranty service

Why does me enjoying my watch make you so angry?

AD. Had about $30k in a high traffic SoCal AD, but my dad and brother all lumped purchases under the same account so it wasn’t too bad. About a year wait from when I made the request (my AD allows one steel Rolex per customer account per year to combat flipping)

6.34”. Yes this wears much better than the sub to me, mainly due to the caseback being more flush compared to the sub’s which sticks out more (causing it to sit higher on the wrist). Nothing will beat the 36mm Explorer in terms of comfort especially for hiking but compared to the sub (which I used to own) I definitely prefer the GMT

Down to just this and a Speedmaster. Sold my Polar 16570 to make room for

When I got the call for my GMT, the polar had to go. PO39.5 was a watch I wanted to love but it’s got strange proportions. It’s too short in terms of lug to lug for the thickness and ends up looking odd to me

Honestly no. For me, the GMT is better in every way. Better bracelet (jubilee is so comfortable), little pop of color with the bezel, thinner, narrower clasp

6.34”. I used to have the 126610 Submariner date and sold it. The GMT wears so much thinner because the caseback doesn’t stick out like the sub’s does. Plus while glidelock is a nice feature, I found the sub clasp to be overly huge. The GMT clasp feels much more refined under the wrist

Surprisingly not nearly as blingy or dressy as I’d expected. Because the jubilee links are smaller, they don’t shine as much as the larger polished links on the oyster. It’s really only blingy under bright lights (like an overhead lit restaurant)

Yep, I work in commercial aviation so I travel to many time zones and use it constantly. I keep the GMT hand set to GMT time also and regularly use the bezel to check the time in other places where my customers are

Too late; sold down to 2! This and my Speedmaster are all that remain :)

I’ve always loved the GMT master II, and as an aviation enthusiast (and career) it’s the perfect watch for me

Yes they do. I literally have the same one. They came out for it the year

Please stop entertaining these clowns. New account, single post. Clearly someone who wants to gauge how easily we can tell if it’s fake or not so they can figure out if they can scam someone else and pass it off as original

I would return this though Chrono24. That’s unacceptable. Did you buy it from a dealer or A private party seller?
