Rolex Master GMT 2 / Panerai GMT

[zen]

To all sifu and watch lover,
Finally after months of this watch poison, I finally summit myself to fate 
My criteria is GMT is a must have. Time zone is critical when I need to call oversea. It will be a day to day watch.
I'm thinking of Rolex Master GMT 2 or Panerai GMTm
Which watch will you choose or recommend?

what is your budget, wrist size?? For Rolex GMT, are you referring to the GMTIIc or the GMTII? For PAM GMT, are you referring to the 88? 320?

[zen]

Good question. Never thought of my wrist size. Should I measure it first? How?
I'm referring to GMT2c and Pam 320 or any other choice. Budget around 25k

Rolex gmt master 2c

Pam 320!!! Then strap changing to give you a different look when you feel like a change

[Pajero]

I prefer Rolex GMTIIc

Panerai's GMT is too busy. i prefer Panerai with a less busy dial

[TheHobbit]

It all depends. Do you move about (across time zones) much? Do you need to track GMT? Or do you need to track a particular time zone? The PAM00320 is a 12 hour GMT with no day and night indicator while the Rolex is a true GMT watch.

With rm25k++, you can deal for 2 preloved rolex.. A gmt master2 and an explorer2. Both with gmt function. Go for rolex because their 2nd time zone is easier to set rather than panerai's.

GmtIIc without a shadow of doubt for me... 

[dpkong]

between your choice of GMT2c and Panerai, i would recommend GMT2c.

but do consider looking at the Rolex Explorer 2 as well. tracks another single timezone much better since it gives you night/day indication. i set mine to UTC+0 so it's easier to count other time zones as offsets from that.

Lots of lolex fans.....i have a rolexs and i have pams...

GMT master II Ceramic... Look beautiful in person. More balanced feel over the oversize pam. Unless u had big wrist.

Movement wise.. Rolex wins all hands down

Thank you to all the sifu feedback.
No, I do not move across time zone but just need to track time zone on different country.

Btw, any recommendation on best discount and good service shop around KL for Rolex. Can pm me.
Thanks again

pam 320 will be a great choice if u can accept big watch. as some say u can change the strap once u get bored. diff color and material strap makes the watch looks diff and like a new watch again. Further more this watch come with easy strap change system where u can change strap easily.

GMT2c, really cantik!  Especially the two tone versions! The numbering on the Bezel in gold really WOW!

For pure stainless steel, can consider the Explorer 2 also because it looks nicer in SS and is quite big/legible. I'm not a leather strap fan so not really into PAMs.

Rolex - for the ease of operating the gmt function

Look around in the for sale thread here. Going to the AD/Reseller won't get you good discount if any discount at all. Some of the seller here are really honorable. See the watch before you deal. There might be minor scratch or ding that bothers you which may not show on the photograph on the post.

I think GMTIIc is really the one you should aim for. I love panerai but only the base model. Unless is a Mare

GMTIIc unless you are looking at a PAM321 then I'd go with PAM because of the extra PR complication.

Thank you, sifu-sifu out there.
It's my first watch above RM2k 
Anyhow, I will look out for Rolex GMT2c or latest Explorer 2 to reward myself for all this years

Yes. Use your private credit card which sent the bill to your office... And if she ask, tell her that it is a cheap replica.....he..he...

Haha smart idea but did not work for me  Wife had me sleep outside until i confessed.....LOL. Ended up me getting her a Lolex too to make peace offering go through

I prefer GMT IIc. The hour font on bezel looks so nice.

My cousin has a GMT Explorer II, it feels good when i'm wearing it 
so it's GMT 2 +1 for me
