The short answer

The closest alternative to the Rolex GMT-Master II is the Rolex Submariner Date ($50,900) — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. If price is the constraint, the Rolex GMT-Master II at $20,050 (vs $50,800 for the GMT-Master II) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Jack Mason Strat-o-timer GMT: Espresso is the standout microbrand take — pro diver and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic Goat Edition Blue 44mm ($121,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
