Rolex is the grail watch brand for millions, and choosing the timepiece that best suits one’s taste involves many decisions. Dress watch or tool watch. Complications and functions. Dial and bezel colors. Naturally, price is a primary consideration. You get the idea. 

There is also the choice of strap or bracelet. This part of a watch can’t be overlooked. It may seem simple. After all, the function of the strap or bracelet is to hold your watch securely on your wrist. There is more to it than that, though. Comfort, ease of clasping and unclasping, durability, and aesthetics all play a role. 

If you have decided to go the bracelet route, you also want one that pairs well with the model you choose. There is a different aesthetic between dress and sport watches, and each is worn in different situations. Some watches are daily wearers and others are for special occasions only.  This is something else to consider when choosing the right bracelet for your watch and your taste.

The two most popular bracelet styles offered by Rolex are the Oyster and the Jubilee. Which one should you choose? Let’s take a closer look at these two fine options to help you make that decision. 

The Rolex Oyster Bracelet

In Rolex’s earliest days, watches came on leather straps as standard. By the early 1930s, bracelets were offered as an option and sometimes added 50% to the cost of the timepiece. You had to be willing to pony up a hefty price for a watch on a bracelet.

The first Oyster bracelets were created by Gay Frères, the legendary designer that also made bracelets for other luxury brands such as Audemars Piguet and Zenith. The first iteration of the three-link bracelet that would become the Oyster appeared in the late ’30s.

The popular bracelet continued to evolve and was patented by Rolex in 1948. The Oyster went through iterations with side rivets, stretchable links, and several different clasps. It became a standard feature on many models and proved to be popular with the brand’s legion of fans.

A testament to its enduring appeal is that the modern Oyster is a robust and beautiful bracelet as well as one of the best-selling bracelets for Rolex even today. Chances are, if you spot a Rolex out in the wild, it will be attached to an Oyster bracelet.

The Oyster has a sporty and classy look. Its flat, broad links sit comfortably around the wrist. It is available in stainless steel and precious metals, depending on the model of the watch it is attached to. It looks especially good on the tool watches, such as the Submariner, Cosmograph Daytona, and GMT Master II.

Current Oyster bracelets are paired with end links that match the shape of the case they are attached to. The Oysterlock clasp is a secure closure, and the Oystersteel Rolex uses has a higher chromium content than other stainless steel.

This makes it more corrosion-resistant and well-suited to dive watches. Current Oyster bracelets also feature the Glidelock system. This allows quick adjustments on the bracelet of up to 2 mm, helping to create a perfect fit.

Some of Rolex’s bolder models, such as the Batman, Pepsi, and Sprite, have polished center links combined with brushed outer links on their Oyster bracelets.

This helps them pop and coordinates nicely with the bold dial and bezel color combinations. The generally sporty look of the Oyster makes it an excellent choice for an everyday watch.

In terms of robustness, the Oyster is solidly crafted, and its wide links enable it to stand up to the rigors of daily wear in all kinds of situations. This is a major factoring in its continuing popularity.

The brushed surfaces do a great job of hiding scratches and are the reason tool models like the Submariner come with an Oyster that has all the links brushed. The 20 mm lug width is the most common size and will suit most wrists. 

The Rolex Jubilee Bracelet

The Rolex Jubilee bracelet is the brand’s elegant and sophisticated option. As such, since 2018, it is not offered on stainless steel sport models. The Jubilee is designed to pair with the classiest dress watches, such as the Day-Date and Datejust.

The bracelet was created in 1945 to commemorate Rolex’s 40th anniversary, hence the name Jubilee. Originally made only in gold and offered only on the Datejust, the Jubilee is now available in stainless steel as well as other precious metals.

Two-tone Jubilees with gold center links and stainless steel end links look great with a two-tone case.  In addition to Rolex’s dress watches, the Jubilee is also an option on the GMT Master II watches.

The distinctive look of the jubilee comes from its five-link design. The two outer links are wider than the three inner links. This creates an “x” pattern in the center of the bracelet that elevates the style. With its smaller links, the Jubilee has greater flexibility, and most Rolex fans find it more comfortable than the Oyster. 

The small center links catch the light beautifully and add a nice flash of bling, further highlighting the elegant look of the watches with a Jubilee bracelet.

One downside is that, although it is a very well-made bracelet and is built to last, the links, especially on the softer gold ones, are more prone to scratches and blemishes of any kind are easily visible.

The Jubilee requires more care than the Oyster and, thus, is not recommended for an everyday timepiece. Save it for special occasions when you need to look your best.

Rolex recommends not wearing a Jubilee bracelet loosely. This causes more movement in the links and creates added wear. You will be shortening the life of the bracelet. If you bring a damaged Jubilee to an AD, they won’t repair it. Rolex will replace the entire bracelet, and this is costly. Store your Rolex on a Jubilee in its box and not in a jewelry box with other items. 

Rolex Oyster vs Jubilee – How to Choose

Now that you know quite a bit about each bracelet, let’s talk about how to choose the right one for you. First up is cost. Generally, if you buy your Rolex from an AD, a Jubilee will add about $200 to the price. Grey market price differences can be as much as $2,000. Your budget will have to be considered when making the decision.

If you are looking for a stainless steel sport watch like a diver or chronograph, you don’t have an option. You will get it with the Oyster bracelet.

This is what you want for a watch that may see some rugged wear. A GMT Master II is available with either bracelet. If that is the watch you seek, consider how often you will wear it and in what kinds of situations. If it’s going to be your travel companion, lean toward the Oyster. You will need the added robustness. 

Let’s move on to dress watches. The Jubilee certainly adds elegance, class, and bling. If this is going to be your “dress-to-impress” watch, worn to important business meetings, weddings, and other special events, the Jubilee is likely the one you want. It will spend a lot of time in the box where it is protected and be an incredible accessory for your best outfits.

If you are the type who rarely wears a suit or has occasion to dress up, go with the Oyster. It is a great-looking bracelet and looks good on even the dressier Rolexes. It will hold up better, especially if you wear your Rolex to work daily and on nights out.

Scratches are going to happen to everyday timepieces, and the Oyster does a much better job of hiding them. In terms of comfort, yes, the Jubilee feels better to most watch enthusiasts, but it’s not a huge difference, and the Oyster does sit nicely on the wrist. 

I’m not a Rolex guy, but if I were, given my love of dive watches and how often I wear them, I would go with the Oyster.  That’s just me. Your choice will depend on your needs and tastes. Now that you’ve got the lowdown on the Oyster and Jubilee, you are prepared to choose wisely. Go for it. 

Conclusion

The Rolex catalog is filled with reliable, accurate, and beautiful watches of every type. In addition to colors, movements, and complications, you have strap and bracelet choices.

The Oyster and Jubilee are the two most popular. Each is made to Rolex’s high standards and will compliment your timepiece nicely. Consider the details of each, try a few on, and then make an informed choice for a Rolex that you will love wearing.

Although there are other nations that make great watches, Switzerland has long held the title of the land of fine horology. Brands such as Patek Phillipe, Rolex, and Omega are legendary. However, there are lesser-known and lower-priced brands that are well worth checking out, especially for beginning watch collectors. 

Two of these brands are Tissot and Movado. Each has a long and distinguished history and produces timepieces that are accurate, reliable, and beautiful. If you are looking for your first luxury watch, or maybe something nice to add to your collection, these brands should be considered. Let’s take a closer look at Tissot vs Movado.

Brand Heritage

Both Tissot and Movado were founded in the 19th Century and thus have more than 100 years of experience in crafting their signature styles. Each brand has traveled its own path, but both are worthy of consideration. 

Tissot

In 1853, Charles-Felicien Tissot founded the company along with his son, Charles-Emile Tissot. It should be noted that the brand is not at all connected to Mathey-Tissot. Apparently, in Switzerland, the name, “Tissot” is like “Smith” in the U.S.

The father and son team began making pocket watches in their home in Le Locle, including the world’s first mass-produced pocket watch and the first that tracked two time zones. Tissot’s timepieces sold very well in the Russian Empire and amongst members of the Tsar’s courts, prompting the younger Tissot to move to Moscow in 1885. 

The brand saw continued success as it began crafting wristwatches. When the worldwide economy collapsed in 1929, Tissot formed a partnership with Omega to ensure its survival. The brand thrived and became the official timekeeper for Swiss ski races in 1938 and in 1957 for the Davis Cup. In 1930, Tissot became one of the first brands to make anti-magnetic watches. 

Tissot was an innovator in the use of other materials as well, creating the first plastic watch in 1971, the first mother of pearl in 1987, and the first wood watch the following year. Today, Tissot is part of the Swatch Group, a parent company that includes Omega, Breguet, Hamilton, Longines, Blancpain, and Tissot, among many other brands. Tissot is one of the Swatch Group’s mid-range market brands. 

Movado

A member of a Jewish watchmaking family, Achille Ditesheim founded the company that would become Movado in 1881 La-Chaux-de-Fonds, the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry. Ditesheim partnered with his brothers, Leopold and Issidore, and called the company, L.A. & I. Ditesheim. They built one of the first modern factories in the area and over the next 20 years, the company grew to employ 80 workers.

By 1905, Ditesheim’s business had 150 employees and changed its name to Movado, which is Esperanto for “always in motion”.

Over the next several decades Movado created innovative watches such as the Polyplan, which featured a curved case to match the contours of the wrist, the Soldier’s Watch with a pierced metal cover for protecting the crystal in battle, and the Acevatic, the brand’s first water-resistant case with a screw-down crown.

In 1945, Movado released the minimalist Museum dial, which would become an iconic symbol that instantly identifies a timepiece as a Movado. Working together with Zenith, the brand introduced the El Primero, the world’s first automatic chronograph movement.

This innovation had a huge impact on horology and even Rolex used the movement in their Daytonas and used it as the basis for creating their own chronograph movement. 

The North American Watch Company purchased Movado in 1983. Although the brand’s corporate HQ is in the U.S., the timepieces are still manufactured in Switzerland and live up to that nation’s high standard of quality.

Movado continues to make reliable, accurate, and distinctive timepieces at a lower price point than many other luxury brands. The Heritage Collection offers classic designs. Along with the modern models, Movado offers a wide variety of stylish watches. 

Model Variety

Both Tissot and Movado have several collections that feature a nice variety of timepieces from dress watches, to casual, and sport watches like divers and chronographs.

Tissot

Tissot offers a large number of watches on leather straps and stainless steel bracelets. Cases and bracelets are available in gold-colored stainless steel as well as plain stainless. There are also two-toned stainless and gold-colored bracelets. 

Dials are available in many colors including black, white, blue, Tiffany blue, gold, green, and ivory. Both quartz and automatic movements are offered in classic dress styles, sport watches, and more casual timepieces.

Among the most popular models are the Powermatic 80, PRX, PR100, and Gentlemen’s watches. Tool watches include the Supersport Chrono series of chronographs and the Seastar Dive watches. The Seastars have a generous water resistance of 300 meters, putting them on a par with much more expensive dive watches.

Tissot also has several higher-end models in its Le Locle collection that use 18K gold and rose gold in the cases and bracelets. These have higher prices but are still below $2,000. Tissot has models for both men and women and many have a date complication.

Movado

Movado is best known for its iconic Museum Classic, so named because the original Museum dial, released in 1947, was put on display at New York’s Museum of Modern Art as a permanent exhibit in 1960. It was the first watch dial to be so honored.

Designed to mimic a sundial, the Museum Classic is a plain black dial with a single precious stone set at 12 o’clock to represent the sun. It’s a bold design that stands out. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but the Museum Collection is perhaps the most popular of Movado’s offerings. 

The Museum Sport Collection uses the classic Museum template to create a series of chronographs. The dot at 12 combines with a variety of dial colors, bezels, straps, and bracelets to create a collection of unique and inspired chronographs.

The Movado Bold Collection also shows artistic flair. These models have a dot at 12 o’clock but some have indices like a standard timepiece.

There are dressy models on leather straps and metal bracelets as well as casual models with black-colored stainless steel cases and bracelets. The bold collection includes chronographs and a wide variety of dial colors and textures. 

The Movado Face Collection features the trademark minimalist dial in bold, playful colors for a variety of fun casual watches. Leather straps, stainless steel, and mesh bracelets offer a variety of options to suit fashion-forward horology fans. The Face watches are truly unique timepieces that can make a statement about their wearer.

No watch brand can be a player in the industry without divers and Movado offers those. The SE Diver Automatic comes with a blue or black dial and unidirectional rotating bezel, the signature dot at 12, and a stainless steel case and bracelet.

These timepieces have a respectable 200 meters of water resistance with a screw-down crown and date complication.

Design

Design philosophies differ greatly between the two brands and there is zero chance you would ever confuse a Tissot for a Movado or vice versa. 

Tissot

Tissot timepieces are designed in line with classic watch styles in mind. This is not surprising, given the brand’s longtime connection with Omega. Sword hands, three and five-link bracelets, and stitched leather straps are typical on most models as are dot and baton indices and Roman numerals. 

Tissot does offer a variety of standard dial colors and textures such as the check pattern on the Powermatic series. There are models that are a bit bold and feature square cases and skeleton dials, but for the most part, Tissot sticks with a more conservative design.

Movado

Movado’s design philosophy is unique in the world of horology and has been linked for decades with the style of modern art. The Museum dial is at the forefront of this design and influences pretty much every model in the catalog.

Movado watches run the gamut from classy to wildly playful. They’re not for everyone but their fans are loyal to the brand and they have several celebrity ambassadors. Movado lives up to its name as it is always moving forward.

Build Quality & Materials

Beng brands on the more affordable side, the materials used and finishing of Tissot and Movado timepieces are not on the level of high luxury brands. Nevertheless, both companies use quality materials and are built by experienced watchmakers emphasizing reliability and durability. 

Tissot

Most Tissot models have stainless steel cases and the brand uses industry-standard 316L stainless on its cases and bracelets. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystals with anti-reflective coating cover dials and exhibition case backs.

Some models in the higher-end Le Locle collection use 18K yellow or rose gold. There are the Gentlemen models that use lighter weight and durable titanium.

Tissot uses the combination of brushed and polished surfaces prevalent in the industry on its cases, indices, and hands. It’s a nice finish but again, not on the level of a luxury watch. Hold a Tissot side-by-side with an Omega and the difference is obvious. Some models are coated in a gold or black color.

Many models use Super-LumiNova on the indices and hands for excellent visibility in darkness. Straps are not the highest quality leather, but genuine leather which is a fairly durable and attractive option. 

Movado

Movado too, is not on the level of luxury brands but does use similar quality materials in its timepieces. Stainless steel cases, bracelets, and hands are made with the same 316L that Tissot uses and some models have 18K gold cases.

Unlike Tissot, Movado uses some less common materials in some of its watches, particularly those in the Face Collection.

Acrylic is used in cases and on the hands of these models for a casual and modish look. Personally, I think they look cheap, kind of like a Swatch, but to each their own.

Some of the Museum Classic watches have cases covered in gold PVD. They have a blingy look without being too expensive. Like Tissot, Movado uses scratch-resistant sapphire coated with an anti-reflective and Super-LumiNova.

Some of the higher-end models use semi-precious stones for the dot at 12 o’clock. Bracelets are stainless steel and straps use genuine leather, ceramic, or silicone. Stainless steel surfaces are brushed and polished like Tissot and do like nice.

They are certainly not anywhere near the Zaratsu polishing of Grand Seiko, but the price point is significantly lower.

Face models are just brushed and most are coated in a color coordinated to the dial and strap. They certainly make a statement but don’t scream luxury.

Movements

Tissot and Movado differ significantly in their movements. Although Tissot uses generic Swiss movements in some models, it also builds some very good in-house movements some of which are COSC-certified.

Movado stopped making in-house movements in 1970 and all models use very good generic Swiss movements. Both brands offer automatic and quartz-powered watches.

Tissot

Tiisot’s best in-house movements are its 11 ½” automatics that are COSC certified and have a solid power reserve of 38 hours. It offers lower-priced watches powered by in-house automatic movements that are not COSC-certified, but still accurate and with 30-hour power reserves. 

At lower price points, Tissot has ETA quartz and automatic movements. All are Swiss-made and solidly built for accuracy and durability. For those who like to take a look at the works of their timepieces, Tissot has models with exhibition case backs. The movements are nicely designed and pretty to look at.

Movado

As stated earlier, Movado no longer makes in-house movements. However, their automatics use the ETA-2824-2 Swiss movement, which is well-made and used by many companies. The quartz Movado timepieces are powered by Citizen Miyota movements, which are solid as well. 

By using generic movements, Movado can keep its prices down. Although these are fine movements and reliable, you aren’t getting anything special that you can’t find in many other brands. There are Movado models with exhibition case backs. The movements look well-made but not especially aesthetically pleasing. 

Price Point

Both Tissot and Movado are in the “accessible luxury” category, meaning that they make quality watches that are affordable for most people looking for a nice timepiece. A great thing is that most chain jewelry and department stores carry both brands. You can take a trip to your local mall and try on models from both to see which you prefer.

Tissot

Tissot offers a wide variety of watches that are priced below $500. Their higher-end automatics range from $500-$1,000. Even their top-of-the-line Le Locle models made with precious metals sell below $2,000, topping out at $1,800. 

When you consider that Tissot uses quality materials and builds in-house movements, some of which are COSC-certified, you realize the brand offers a lot of value for the money.

Movado

Movado fits into the same affordable luxury category and has a similar range of prices as Tissot. The watches of the Face Collection sell for less than $500, but frankly, look like inexpensive watches.

Most of the other collections range in price from $500-$1,000 but in the Heritage and Museum Classic Collections, there are several models that run significantly higher, above $2,000. Some of the Alta Series come in at just under $4,000.

Movado does make stylish, quality timepieces, but considering it doesn’t offer in-house or COSC-certified movements, I can’t say the value for the money is equal to Tissot. Honestly, Movado appeals to a niche section of horology lovers who like a style that is atypical of most brands.

Conclusion

A good watch does not have to be prohibitively expensive. Tissot and Movado are two Swiss brands that prove this. Although not on the list of high-luxury watches, these timepieces are available in a variety of types, styles, and colors, that are perfect for the beginner on a budget or filling out the collections of experienced horological connoisseurs. 

If you’re looking for a quality watch at an affordable price, Tissot and Movado are two candidates worthy of your consideration. I much prefer Tissot for its value for the money, in-house movements, and more classic designs. 

Having said that, Movado has plenty of fans and if you are an avant-garde type of person, the brand might just suit you perfectly.

Rolex is easily the most well-known watch brand on the planet. It has legions of devoted fans, and many horology buffs dream of owning one. With a long history that dates back more than a century and a variety of collections ranging from classic dress watches to divers to chronographs in stylish colorways, there are plenty of Rolexes to choose from. 

Like any luxury brand, Rolex also makes excellent GMT watches. Originally designed for pilots of PanAm in the 1950s, these watches helped usher in the jet age by allowing wearers to track more than one time zone. A useful function for world travelers as well as aviators, Rolex continued to evolve these beautiful tool watches from the GMT Master to the GMT Master II collections.

Today, those seeking one of Rolex’s classic fine timepieces can choose between the Rolex GMT Master 16700 and the GMT Master II 16710. Which is right for you? Let’s take a closer look at these two luxury watches.

The Rolex GMT Master 16700

The Rolex GMT Master Ref. 16700 is the older of these two timepieces. In production from 1988-99, the 16700 is the culmination of the GMT Master series that started in 1955. Jet-powered aircraft and international business made the world a smaller place.

A watch that could track multiple time zones was useful to pilots and travelers as well as anyone who worked or did business with others across the globe.

The Rolex GMT Master 16700 is powered by the brand’s caliber 3175 automatic movement. It has a non-independent GMT hand with a date complication and a hacking function. It’s COSC-certified and has a 48-hour power reserve.

The case is stainless steel and 40 mm in diameter. With a screw-down crown, this watch is water resistant to 100 meters, a good number for a non-diver.

With a black dial and Rolex’s classic handset, consisting of a sword minute hand and the Mercedes hour hand, it’s easy to read, as all of the brand’s watches are. It also has a red arrow GMT hand and a needle second hand. Early models used a tritium lume, while the later ones have Luminova.

The bi-directional 24-hour bezel has an aluminum insert and was available in either two-tone red and blue, called the Pepsi, or all black. You have the option of a bold or subtle dial and bezel combination.

The key feature of the 16700 is its ability to track two time zones. The hour hand goes around the dial once every 12 hours, as is standard, while the GMT hand makes one circuit every 24 hours. The two hands are tied together and cannot be set independently.

The GMT hand essentially displays military time. So, for example, at 9 am, the hour hand will point to the baton at nine on the dial, while the GMT hand points to the nine on the bezel. At 9 pm, the hour hand again points to the baton at nine, but the GMT hand will point to the 21 on the bezel.

The way to track an extra time zone is to turn the bezel so the correct time in the zone you desire is lined up with the GMT hand. All you have to do is read the hand the corresponds to the time zone you are monitoring.

Although the 16700 can only track two time zones, a nice feature is the quick set date, which comes in handy at the end of the shorter months, especially February. 

The GMT Master 16700 comes on either a stainless steel Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, both of which pair nicely with the case.

This timepiece was one of Rolex’s best sellers until it was phased out in 1999 in favor of the GMT Master II 16710. You can still get one on the used market, and they remain popular with horology fans. 

The Rolex GMT Master II 16710

In 1989, Rolex upped its game with the release of the GMT Master II 16710. It offered the ability to track three time zones as well as a new movement and an additional colorway. Production of this update GMT watch ran until 2007, and it was a hit and is still popular on the preowned market.

The early 16710 models were powered by the caliber 3185 movement, with the later ones upgraded to the caliber 3186.

Both movements offer a slightly upgraded power reserve of 50 hours and are COSC-certified. Both movements have a date complication, a hacking function, and a quick set GMT hand. The stainless steel case comes in the same 40 mm size as the 16700 and has a screw-down crown and 100 meters of water resistance. 

Like the 16700, the 16710 has a black dial and the same classic Rolex handset, including the red arrow GMT hand. Up until 1997, the 16710 used a tritium lume and switched to Luminova in 1998 and 1999. For the rest of its run, this watch used Superluminova.

The bi-directional bezel is made from anodized aluminum and is a 120-click bezel. In addition to the red and blue Pepsi and all black bezels, Rolex added a third option. A red and black bezel, which came to be known as the Coke, offers a compromise between the subtle all black and the bold Pepsi. 

The main additional feature of the 16710 is that it can track three time zones. The hour hand travels around the dial once in 12 hours and the GMT hand once in 24 hours, just like the older 16700. However, each hand can be set separately.

This allows the user to track one time zone with the hour hand and a second with the GMT. By adjusting the bezel to a third time zone, you’ve got a triple-threat GMT. There is no quick-set date adjustment, but it’s a small price to pay for the extra time zone tracking.

The 16710 comes on a stainless Oyster or Jubilee bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp. This clasp is more secure than the one that precedes it, and the steel has a greater chromium content. This makes it more corrosion-resistant, offering further protection from water. 

Rolex still makes GMT Master II watches, but the 16710 is out of production and only available as a pre-owned option. It nevertheless is still a popular choice for Rolex collectors.

Rolex GMT Master II 16700 vs 16710 – How to Choose

So, we have two very fine watches in the GMT Master 16700 and the GMT Master II 16710. If you’re looking for a classic Rolex, how do you choose? This depends on the features you need and desire and also the look you prefer.

Starting with aesthetics, if you have your heart set on the Coke color scheme, you will have to go with the 16710, since the 16700 only has the all black and the Pepsi. In these two colorways, the timepieces look virtually identical, and most people would be hard-pressed to tell them apart.

With its stainless bezel and aluminum insert, the 16700 has a slightly vintage look. If that’s important to you, take it into consideration. The anodized aluminum bezel of the 16710 has a subtly slicker look. You have to look very closely to see this, but it does matter to some watch collectors. 

The major difference between these two classic watches is, of course, the ability to track two vs. three time zones. For many people, two is sufficient for their needs.

When you add in the convenience of the quick-set date, the 16700 is a good choice. Not everyone needs to track three time zones, but if, say, you work in the New York office of an international company that has branches in London and LA, you may find the added time zone useful. 

The dials and handsets are identical, but there is the question of lume. If you are a tritium fan, there are far more 16700s out there with that option. The 16710 only used tritium briefly. You should have no trouble finding either of these watches with Luminova, but if you prefer Superluminova, you’ve got to go with the 16710. 

In terms of movements, the 16710 is available with the updated 3185 or 3186. However, the 3175 of the 16700 is every bit as accurate and reliable, so this is really just a matter of an additional two hours of power reserve. Both watches are available with either the Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, but if you are a fan of the Oysterlock clasp, that points you to the 16710. 

Conclusion

Throughout its long history, Rolex has produced a large number of classic watches that are stylish, reliable, and accurate. The GMT Master series watches are among the best timepieces of that type on the market.

Two of the most popular among horology connoisseurs are the GMT Master 16700 and the GMT Master II 16710. If you like the look of these timepieces, consider what options are most important to you, and search the pre-owned market for the one that floats your boat.
