Great choice. The GMTII-C is a stunning modern Rolex.

For me, wearing nothing but PAM's and Breitlings means I am seriously affected by the size of a watch.

Now the Deep Sea is a great size but its not very good looking IMO. If the GMTII-C were 43mm, well that would be a shoe in.

I know what you mean, They are a bit on the small size but it's a stunning great everyday watch.

We all have our own way of doing things! We buy one expensive watch, to "save" another one. Well, that is a great looking pair!
I have been kept awake many a night, thinking about various watches, too.
Cheers,
Carl

The GMT is 40mm but it seems a lot larger because the bezel is quite chunky.

I love the GMT Master. If I ever got a Rolex, it would be exactly the model you have there.
