Maybe they should just call it the Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT (and print GMT in red on the dial please)? Maybe they can even call it the GMT Explorer.

That way they would have a GMT tool watch (the Explorer II) and one for more formal Occasions (the GMT Master II now having abandoned the brushed steel bracelet).

But there is not pleasing everybody. Hell, I want a GMT Turn-O-Graph :)
I think you misunderstood me. Sorry if I confused you.

I did not mean lose the 24 hour hand. I want it to still be there. What I meant was take away the ability to make the hour hand "jump" at one hour intervals and instead make the model a full quick-set watch. THat way its less of a GMT watch and is more convenient to set too because of the full quick-set date.

You have pretty good suggestions though.
