I have tried the "standard" GMT
and the 24 hours hand is indeed more visible.
I tried to read in Singapore the home time quite often but it did not really work. I'm wearing reading glasses and can see pretty well with those. I had also my 5110P with me. I could read perfectly the different time zones but however, in Europe we have winter time while in Singapore the time remains the same round the year.
Best would be to use a vintage GMT...

Bruiser on a trip
I decided to check how a modern Rolex GMT works in real life. Just a few comments: - the watch is really glittery. - the 24 hours hand is not really readable - the vintage GMT are much better in that respect. - the watch is thick, heavy and and the case c...
What do you mean?
This week I bought only one and I am negotiating about another one. And today I will give an offer for only one more vintage Rolex (Red Sub.). Hooked? What are you speaking about? Best, Kari
Interesting comments
i have the modern GMT with the green GMT hand and I absolutely love it! My only pet peeve, if you can call it that, is the polished central link of the bracelet. I agree with you that the current design of the bracelet is awesome..

Bruiser
I also took my Batman to a trip - to US in this case, and I absolutely loved it. I did not find it difficult to read home time at all, with the exception of when the home time hand is covered with the minutes hand. I think that must be a common problem wi...
Good to hear that you enjoy your Bruiser.
My problem is that while I have i.e. several Pateks, I am looking for perfect tool watches. For me the modern Rolex have too much bling and glitter and thus, can not be considered anymore as a real tool watch. I also find it weird that the edges of the ca...
Ah finally!
Some one who thinks like me. I too don't care for the modern heavy watches. Once you discover vintage- you leave the modern ones behind. Its really the same with cars. Although having said that I do like one modern watch. Its not a Rolex though but Patek ...
the same with cars?
I'm sorry but in winter I am very glad having a 4WD, warm, reliable and safe car (filled with crumple zones, seat belts and 25 airbags). But that could just be me....
Winter
In the winter I don't drive old cars either. I am not a chemist but I know that salt is not an old cars best friend. But as soon as spring comes out then the old-timers reappear. I understand that old cars are not for everyone. I respect the advantages of...
best of both worlds!
I think we both are on the same page. I've got 2 classic cars (1962 and 1973) waiting for spring (or a dry sunny day) in their garage.
