Hard to decide.. Trying to decide on 2 of the 4 for purchase, then that is it for me! All are the same price.

Exp II white face
Exp II black face
GMT red/Black
Datejust Black face with oyster bracelet

Forgot to add, already have Sub LV, that will put a Black Bezel on and will probably put on a Nato for travel purposes. The above pick of 2 will be worn with the SS bracelets.

GMT red/Black

SD81 · 28 February 2007, 03:42 AM

I'm with nko51. If I had the option, they would be my two!!!

JJ Irani · 28 February 2007, 04:13 AM

Chad,

A good and varied selection would be to add a white dial Exp-II and the black dial DJ to your current collection.

Good luck - JJ

Tombstone · 28 February 2007, 04:24 AM

Chad,
Your lucky I have had the feaver to buy another Rolex, I would get the Black dial DateJust, and the White Exp-II. Good luck.

Definitely the white dial Ex II. Great for shooting, travel, night vision, motorcycling, you name it. However, I thought my black dial Ex II looked like my Sub's little brother. I traded it for my TT Blue Sub.

I am not a DJ fan. Not even a little bit. I can't get used to the smaller size.

I used to think the Ex II and GMT-II were interchangeable, so I sold my first GMT, but I have found that they are not. I love having both, and now I do.

My vote goes for these 2, however to mix it up a bit more the DJ with fluted bezel and jub bracelet would be my choice.

White dial explorer

Red Blk GMT

Solo118 · 28 February 2007, 08:39 AM

I would get GMT and DJ so there is one elegant watch and one sporty watch

slim · 28 February 2007, 10:00 AM

I would get the DJ Chad. And i guess a GMT since you travel often. A panerai will sit on your rest lovely as well.

leopardprey · 28 February 2007, 10:34 AM

You guys are not making this easy for me!! LOL

Well it seems so far it is narrowing down to between the White Exp, GMT, and DJ.

Definitely get the DJ and then choose between the Exp-II and the GMT-II.

They both have the same movement and the same function....except that the Exp-II has a fixed bezel....but then again it has the beautiful white dial!!

If you buy it for me, then you can pick which ones to get!! I will not complain!

A. Jacobs · 28 February 2007, 12:32 PM

I'd go with the GMT and the DJ

Blue Bull · 28 February 2007, 12:48 PM

No question .... the GMT and the DJ

GMT II red/black is what I started with.Great looking watch.At one stage,try a Jubilee bracelet with the GMT II.The combination of the red/black/steel and polished steel is quite a picture Have seen pictures on the forum of this combo,but does not do it justice.You have to see it for real to appreciate.

I like the look of the ss DJs with coloured dials.The 36mm is just too small for my wrist and build.DJ with fluted bezel,needs a Jubilee.Domed bezel,needs an Oyster.The ss DJs with coloured bezels are "Sporty and Dressy",all in one.

karwath · 28 February 2007, 01:01 PM

Black DJ and White EXP II

My father in law just got a white dial installed on his DJ (with oyster bracelet) and I must say it really stunned me, It looks wonderful!

If it were up to me I love the DJ with that ice blue color, But its a platinum watch not SS

Not a bad suggestion actually. Something like this....

Alex Stylianou · 28 February 2007, 04:47 PM

DJ and Exp 2

leopardprey · 1 March 2007, 12:41 AM

Man this is hard choice!
Leaning towards getting the GMT II at least for now to start out. Good compliment to the Sub LV. Also can change bezel inserts if so desire. Red/Black looks sharp! Like the slimmer profile thant he sub and smaller clasp. Also like how I can still use the rotating bezel to measure time. Maybe for now get the Red/Black GMT for my upcoming Travel. Take the Sub LV with me and then decide between one of the EXP IIs or Date Just.

mrbieler · 1 March 2007, 01:03 AM

I would have to say GMT and DJ. Throw in your Sub and you have the Rolex big 3....

Is there a particular dial you are looking at for the DJ? I know you said black, but sticks, roman numerals, etc?

leopardprey · 1 March 2007, 09:15 PM

Looking at the all bacl dial. Luminous stick markers. Smooth bezel. Alternating red/black date. One thing I do not like though is the polished center links. Kind of undecided on that, sometimes looks good - other times too formal. Kinf of looking for an Explorer 1 watch with a Date!

leopardprey · 1 March 2007, 09:19 PM

Tally so far:

DJ and GMT..................... 8 votes
DJ and White Exp II ........... 3 votes
White ExpII and GMT......... 2 votes
Dj and Black Exp II ............ 2 votes

mike · 1 March 2007, 11:54 PM

Sorry I'm late to this, been out of town.

I'd go white EXP and GMT. Both will complement the LV. Both give a multi timezone capability. Each brings it's own unique flair to the table. And, You like sports models!

sammy911 · 3 March 2007, 01:17 PM

I am sold on the Ex II White face....Just has a nice clean look about it with the SS.. That's my vote. Oh and definitly the GMT also..I agree with Mike. They offset each other

Just a few pics to keep your GMTII appetite growing and make sure u follow the righteous path leading to a r/b gmt ii

ok, maybe i am a little biased....

leopardprey · 8 March 2007, 09:09 PM

Ok, got the Red/Black GMT.

Now have to decide on the 3rd Model!

Options:

Keep Sub No Date
Exp II White Face
Exp II Black Face
DJ w/oyster Silver face
DJ w/oyster Black Face

Will see what the ADs have in Bangkok, and may end up taking a short trip to Hong Kong (need to visit some friends there anyway!)
