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 exceptional legibility, robust build, and comfortable bracelet taper, with many considering it the best stainless steel GMT ever made. Some find the two-tone variants a perfect balance between sports and dress, while others highlight the versatility of the "Batman" or the iconic status of the "Pepsi." The grey and black variant offers a more reserved aesthetic, and some owners view the all-black 116710LN as the best value buy. However, the bidirectional bezel's lack of satisfying clicks and the Oystersteel's proneness to scratching are noted drawbacks. Some owners find the green GMT hand and text difficult to see, and one owner considers it a downgrade from the Submariner due to its lack of quick-set date and lower water resistance. The Rolex GMT-Master II is difficult to obtain at retail, with wait times averaging 12-24 months.

From video reviewers

The 18k yellow gold construction is a notable strength. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
