My new grail - Blue Dial Alpinist GMT

therapist

I’m giving up on Rolex. My grail was an Explorer. I’m over it. I feel like this is better, more functional watch with more value by far. Am I crazy for comparing them?

Nice GMT but the inner compass ring is out of place and confusing.

Not sure what the thought process was in this choice of deign.

It is a great looking watch. So is the Sealander GMT. I'm not a Rolex fanboy, but if something is your grail you don't have to give up. Sometimes you just have to be patient and recognize opportunities. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy choice.

The Explorer is an excellent watch and the Alpinist GMT is also a nice watch. Can’t really compare them—both can exist in the same collection 🍻

They are not comparable. One is a desk GMT (Seiko) and one is a travelling GMT (Rolex) so your not just switching watches but selecting a different movement function. A comparable watch would be. Grand Seiko or a Longines etc. they have the same functionality as the Rolex.

Look, they are both amazing watches in their respective budgets. One is a solid watch that works well with some weaknesses here and there but unavoidable condiering the price of the watch. The other is a serious watch, that is ultimately reliable, accurate and has tonnes of brand equity on top. Again, I must reiterate that both are superb watches and its not just about price. People prefer things for a variety of reasons.
