Anyone who owns both a RO Dual Time 26120 and a Rolex GMT 116710?

[Auragentum]

If so, could you please post a few picture of the watches next to each other?

I am considering getting the RO white dual time 26120, but there's only one AD in the vicinity of where I am living at the moment (non-US).

So I would like to see how the size is visually next to the current Rolex GMTIIc.

Can anyone help out?

You could also compare the 15300 to the 116710. I believe the case is the same size. I'd post but I haven't gotten my 15300 back from APCS yet.

Thanks Mike.

Sure the 15300 could do of course as footprint should be the same. As far as I recall it should be a bit thinner, but I am not fussed about that anyway.

No bidders?

I was debating picking up the dual time, but ended up passing and falling in love with a RO chrono.

All I can provide is non wrist shots of my GMTc and 15300 - not sure that is of interest? Very different pieces, but if I had to chose I would go GMTc - more user friendly (easier to read).

The dual time is a great looking piece.

I love the white dial dual time. That one is on my short list.

Not sure if this will help, but here are my GMT-IIC and my ROC.

Oh definitely. If I can't have a dual time comparison shot, I would definitely appreciate a 15300 vs GMTIIc

The only AD within a large radius is all out of 39mm ROs so I can't see one in the flesh and compare. It should look noticeably smaller, but you never know as designs can play tricks on you.

So yes, please do post some shots - if possible I'd appreciate some shots of the footprint as well as from the side.

Thanks!

Thanks! Gorgeous ROC Has a nice vintage kind of look to it.

Your watch is definitely very comparable as it is also more or less the same in thickness. Would you mind posting a shot of the watches next to each other as well?

Here you go:

Thanks Kyung!

From the picture the ROC actually looks slightly thicker than the GMT and as far as I recall the ROC is supposed to be 11mm and the GMT slightly more than 12mm. But maybe that's where design optics play tricks on you?

Footprint doesn't look smaller either, especially with longer lug to lug, and the wider bracelet probably has an effect as well.

What is your own opinion? Which one looks smaller on your wrist?

To me, the GMT feels and wears a little bigger than the ROC.

That's great news as that's what I was hoping/anticipating.

I may even go 36mm 25730 as I know how that looks and feels on my arm, but if 39mm does indeed wear like you describe, I'm probably still going to stick to with this.

I got my 15300 back so here it is compared to GMTIIc.





The GMTIIc wears SLIGHTLY bigger and is slightly heavier at 146g vs 139g (fitted to 6.5" wrist).

Thanks Mike.

Much appreciated.
