Description: Over the past few years, the GMT watch category has been dominated by more affordable brands like Fortis, Yema, Lorier, and Squale, due to their fresh and varied designs, in addition to their accessible pricing. Following my disappointment at the relaunch of the Rolex Pepsi (126710), I put off reviewing the subsequent modern generation GMT-Master II offerings from the brand that started it all. But what a mistake! Recently I had an unexpected encounter with a Rolex Batman (116710BLNR) that intrigued me enough to borrow the latest version—known as the "Batgirl"—to see if my opinion on these new GMTs has changed. Well, it has, almost to the point where I want to buy one! Why was I so wrong before? How do they compare to my own vintage GMT-Master II "Pepsi" (16710)? What unexpected incident inspired me to look at them again? How have they improved these newer "Batgirl" GMTs to such an extent that they've changed my outlook? But most importantly, why do I consider these the best GMTs on the market? Join me for a look at the legacy of the Rolex GMT, including its fame, design, history, evolution, positives, and some negatives too—because while some watches come close to perfect, there's always something to be desired.
