Upgrade(d) frmo EXP II to GMTII-C

[swisscottg]

Thanks for all the feedback to my earlier post about upgrading. I swapped out my 15 month old white face EXPII for a new SS GMTII-C today. They are very different watches after a few hours with my new friend.

Some differences..

• The crown on the GMT is 2x the size of the crown on the EXP. Also it's a lot more substantial in my hands and changing/setting time
• The GMT is a *lot* heavier and wide lugs at top and bottom
• Even though they are both supposed to be the same diameter, the GMT just feels wider. It is certainly taller
• There is a lot less wiggle on the minute hand when setting the time
• I actually thinkg the white face maybe easier to read in daylight than the black face. WIll try the luminesence later tonight
• The exp II ran about 1 min/ week fast - will be looking to see if the GMT keeps better time

Anyone else done this switch? Comments?
