The numbers, the dial colors, the calibers — laid out so you can stop flipping between tabs.
Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
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.
Owners widely praise the Rolex Yacht-Master 37 for its elegant and classy design, comfortable fit, and dressier appeal, with many finding it beautiful and a great summer watch. Specific praise is given to the rhodium dial, blue second hand, and Rolesium construction. However, some find the grey dial unappealing, and its smaller dial aperture can make time-telling more difficult. Owners are split on its suitability for men's wrists, with some considering the 37mm size too small. The Rolex Yacht-Master is also seen as the dressiest of Rolex's professional watches by some, while others consider it sporty-only. Overall, owners rate the Rolex Yacht-Master highly for its elegant design and comfortable wearability.
