I'm looking seriously at a new GMT Master 2. My first Rolex. It's simple looking and doesn't scream I'M WEARING AN EXPENSIVE WATCH! Plus, I just really like the watch.

But all the watches I've ever had with a rotating dial around the face have had the following problem. The dial shifts during the course of a day making it useless.

If I set the dial I want it to STAY PUT!

For those of you who own one (especially the new GMT 2 with the ceramic dial) does your dial move during the day?

I'd really rather not spend $8K on a watch with a useless dial. I like the looks of the new GMT Master 2, but . . .

OK, it's BEZEL not dial!

Geez, sorry about that.

It's never happened on my BLNR

Unless I rotate the bezel on my Sub it hardly ever moves. After weeks of wear it might, might be off a click.

My rotating bezel never rotates out of place unless I rotate it.

Not to disparage your previous watches but your bezel should not move unless you make it. I had an el cheapo worth $15 bucks that did that. The rotating bezel on a Rolex or even an Omega for that matter, such like i have should not and does not. With your purchase, you should place little thought in the Rolex failing you as it will not.

Never happened with my GMT Master like everyone has said, it is engineered to not to move.

I had that problem with Vostoks. Neither my Chinese replica Sub nor the genuine Sub have ever had bezel creep. You might want a reputable watch repair shop have a look.

Best of luck.
