Here's a look at my recent pick-up, the TT GMT. It's a watch I looked past a million times, but it's so much better in the metal! Filmed using a Leica Q.

Another great vid. Interesting comments about the all gold. I’ve seen a couple around recently and they sure do attract attention which cant always be good

@WatchHobbyist 6 жыл бұрын

It's an incredible watch, and a friend of mine is currently looking for an all gold sub. However for me, it just felt too flashy and attention-grabbing. It's all down to personal preference and how worried you get about these things I guess.

So great to have you back! Excellent pick! I just bought a Rolex last week (a Hulk), and this watch was among my 2 finalists (I also had it on my wrist). It is a very beautiful watch indeed. I wonder why Rolex keeps insisting on giving its GMTs Easylink clasps, when their Glidelocks are a superior technology (whether you're wearing a diving suite or not).

@WatchHobbyist 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks Danny :-) I do see what you're saying but I also praise the easy link often as it's so simple to extend when needed. I actually am not a fan of the Glidelock on the subs, but the Deep Sea version is fantastic.

@coronetmag 7 жыл бұрын

You're right. I could extend the Easylink on the fly with one hand (I had a new Air King). The Sub glidelock is definitely a take-off-the-wrist, two-hand operation.

@WatchHobbyist 7 жыл бұрын

+Danny The deep sea version is actually fine on-wrist too, but I just feel there's a risk of dropping the watch as soon as you have to remove it to adjust, say on a Sub. The deep sea clasps seem to trade around £1-2000 so they are definitely seen as worthwhile.

@andrewholt3849 7 жыл бұрын

It's because the Glidelock is a longer and more uncomfortable clasp. The GMT clasp is shorter and the articulated links mold to the contours of your wrist more, plus you've got Easylink.

Never really liked 2 tone but this one and the 2 tone blue sub ....... really nice. Love the channel.

+Mr. Z Thanks, yeah I was the same but it looks much better in reality than in the video. Definitely check one out when you get chance.

Never been drawn to gold, but must admit this is nicely balance and great addition to your collection, since the TinTin and PP were culled. Enjoy and best wishes.

Great choice! Great review! I myself have the tow toned black and gold Submariner. Both GMT and Sub very nice but I prefer a simpler face and bezel... Enjoy!

I bought mine in 2007 and immediately loved it. I had a bi-metal Submariner at the same time and as it wasn't getting any wrist time, I sold it. This was the first GMT Master in my collection but not the last, since buying it I also added a 2007 GMT Coke and last year a BLNR which I also adore. But if I'm going out in a suit, the 116713 is my first choice.

Just got this one 13.5k. Way cheaper than a rootbeer. Though I love the Rootbeer, it's like 21k and basically it's the same watch in most all ways but for the power reserve.

@CP-ik1xu 6 жыл бұрын

Question, do you find the bracelet is made of material so it is easily scratches? Because I saw other review says so. Thx

@WatchHobbyist 6 жыл бұрын

Apologies for the delay. Any metal will scratch, and gold even more so than Steel as it's softer. Just part of it, wear it and let it show signs of wear and tear

I really enjoyed the Rolex GMT 116713 review, very much appreciated and I totally agree with you, it is a very good dress watch and very versatile as well. I purchased the GMT SS 116710LN and I love the GMT 116713, I tried it on a few months ago in the AD, and one has to see it in person to really appreciate it. Did you purchase it NEW from an AD? Secondly what is your opinion and conclusion on the SS Daytona? Thank you very much for a professionally edited and informative review.

@WatchHobbyist 7 жыл бұрын

Hi, I reviewed the ceramic Daytona a while ago, so all my thoughts are in there. Picked up the GMT brand new and loving it :-) Thanks for your kind comment

I have the previous (pre-ceramic model) of this watch. Bought in 2000 I think. It's in pristine condition since I only take it on international trips. I've been thinking about upgrading to the new ceramic model via a trade-in. Any thoughts on that? (I also have the Root Beer model from the mid 90s but I'm hanging on to that as a collectible). Thanks. Good channel.

@WatchHobbyist 7 жыл бұрын

Sorry I've been slow in replying. The older model is smaller, lighter and just as functional, but the newer model oozes that extra quality that makes me love it so much. You also get solid gold links instead of hollow and much better lume etc. It's horses for courses; there's no major difference and if you love yours, there's no reason to go for the new version really; just personal preference.

@WatchHobbyist 6 жыл бұрын

Not a watch I like really if I'm being honest. If it's possible, the GMT is a little more understated and therefore more my style of watch.

@overlordone1246 6 жыл бұрын

I’m buying one! It’s beautiful, event more so in person. I need so save some more cash but should be good by January. If you can point me in the direction of saving some money, it would be appreciated :-)

@WatchHobbyist 5 жыл бұрын

Apologies for the delay but the only way to save would be to buy used I guess. Worth making an offer to a second hand dealer.
