What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT USSS Edition

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT USSS Edition is lauded for its big-brand level finishing, craftsmanship, and unique design elements like the sandwich lume dial and instant recognizability, with owners appreciating its anti-magnetic properties due to a Faraday cage. The Sellita SW330-2 automatic movement powers the practical GMT complication. One owner notes the bracelet's half-link adjustment creates an odd angle, and lume could be brighter. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Oak & Oscar The Humboldt GMT USSS Edition highly for its impressive finishing and anti-magnetic capabilities at its price point.

Rolex GMT-Master II

Owners widely praise the Rolex GMT-Master II for its high-quality finishing on the Oystersteel case and bracelet, exceptional dial legibility with bright Chromalight lume, and the versatility offered by various color schemes and models like the "Sprite," "Root Beer," "Pepsi," "Batman," and "Batgirl." Some owners consider specific references, such as the all-black 116710LN, to be the best stainless steel GMT ever made or a great value. The watch is noted for its GMT function and thinner case profile, with accuracy reported around -2/+2 seconds per day by one owner. However, some find the ceramic bezel lacks satisfying clicks, and one owner dislikes the green GMT hand and text against the black dial, along with the bezel text font and polished center links. Acquiring a GMT-Master II from an authorized dealer is challenging, with significant wait times.

From video reviewers

The two-tone black and brown Cerachrom bezel offers a novel and contemporary aesthetic. Reviewers suggest buyers verify lug-to-lug measurements and compare bracelet comfort against full-steel alternatives due to the mixed-metal construction.
