ROLEX GMT BLNR Vs ROLEX EX ll POLAR | Which One Is The BEST? OWNERS REVIEW!

[@ShortLifeHax]

VTNR on my left wrist. I love it. I see the crown staring at me all the time when I look down my arm. 🎉 I'm a GMT power user. I know how to track 4 timezones with it.

[@lickerishtuna6449]

2 great watches and both are true GMT’s. The advantage of the rotating bezel enables 3 time zones to be tracked as opposed to a fixed bezel only tracking 2. Whilst I like the polar dial explorer and the uniqueness of a Rolex with a white dial, I would personally choose the black dial purely for personal preference.

[@BrendanBoswell]

Owned a GMT for over 30 years never found using it as a 3 time zone watch practical at all! Used the bezel turn on the fly many times as it was intended. Otherwise left it centre so I can read the time correctly using the 24hr hand! Lastly I said all this on the video doesn’t anyone ever listen?

[@lickerishtuna6449]

Your use is the most common method. Thought I’d mention the 3 time zones as many people are unaware. However, we both know that the majority of owners are probably clueless on the functions and the watch only serves as a wrist trophy with a juvenile knickname.

[@BrendanBoswell]

Definitely agree with you most people don’t need a GMT me included. I was great when I was young free and single and traveled abroad regularly ☘️

[@travscfc9732]

Lucky enough to have both. Batman rather than girl. Love them both!

[@BrendanBoswell]

Interesting at the moment Rolex will let you buy the other bracelet as an extra. That wasn’t possible a few months ago in the UK.

[@2GoodLookin]

Both are great watches but if you could have only one Rolex, the Batgirls wins without a doubt. The jubilee bracelet, colors and moveable bezel are way more useful and better looking. Lucky you, you got both of them.

[@nathanf1934]

If the Ex2 was 40mm i'd take that every time.

[@BrendanBoswell]

You should go back a try it on again it wears small my wrist is only 6.5 inch ☘️

[@simon0044]

Am I wrong to prefer the explorer 2?

[@BrendanBoswell]

Nope I’m with you atm however I might change my mind next week.

[@Anonymouslyme1]

Brendan you are wrong about the functionality of the two GMT watches. The original Explorer II (ref 1655) was just a 24 hour indicator because the orange hand was slaved to the hour hand so could only be used as a day/night indicator. It is now a true GMT watch that can be used for tracking two time zones as it has the jumping hour hand, which it did not originally. The GMT Master II is however capable of tracking three time zones with the rotating bezel, what you demonstrated is not what it is designed and capable of. Sorry mate.

[@BrendanBoswell]

I’m not wrong, I covered all of that, These are my own watches! Try using a GMT in real life with 3 active times you are on another planet. Why not start your own Channel and try making your own content instead of bothering me with this constant negativity and moaning!

[@Anonymouslyme1]

@@BrendanBoswellI’m not bothering you with negativity and whether you own the watches or not is irrelevant. If you are going to put an instructional video in a public place and get it wrong you will be open to correction. You do realise you can’t control the comments you are going to receive do you? So, when you are factually incorrect you stand to be corrected. No need to be so defensive and personal. What I said in my comments was 100% correct. Just because you may not have the capacity to use the watch for 3 time zones doesn’t mean others can’t, particularly pilots who need to be good at mathematics as a pre-requisite.

[@JohnBowman-ut4dz]

Sorry Brendan I own the polar explorer 2 and you can set it to a different time zone and also have a 24 hour clock because of the jumping hour hand . but to be fair you did say that it did do two time zones but I think this viewer thought you was just talking about 24and12hour clock s great watch and video thanks John. (Maybe a little bit harsh on the viewer )

[@BrendanBoswell]

@JohnBowman-ut4dz John this guy has an opinion on everything he needs to go try and do it for himself because giving out non stop criticism!

[@BrendanBoswell]

@JohnBowman-ut4dz John use your watch however you like I’m just explaining what it is intended for!

[@karlsugden4161]

Hi Brendan, I hope you are keeping well and you are having a positive week so far. I hope the snow didn't disturb your work ? Another great video. Enjoy the rest of your evening and week ahead look forward to watching and listening to your next video best wishes

[@BrendanBoswell]

Thank you for sharing ☘️🫡

[@billchan6180]

I like the old skool charm of the Polar Explorer2, a must have in any collection. Thanks for the review, highly🎉 enjoyable

[@JohnnyBeans-w9k]

Waiting on Batgirl. I do like the exp. That white dial is like no other

[@BrendanBoswell]

If I only owned one watch the Bla EX 11 would be the one, with multiple dials it is nice to have something different to wear.

[@KP-ci8qo]

V good , no nonsense review of two solid watches B! Both cool, both very wearable. Q- why is the bottom of the GMT pixilated in some of the video shots? You have me on this ☘️

[@BrendanBoswell]

Good question!

[@StittSpring]

It's sad that watches that look good cost over 1k+. MAMACOO watches are REALLY well made, and it just shows how a brand name on a watch can make its price 10x higher. I understand that if you look under a microscope, you'll find the difference, but just how many of you really inspect a watch at that level when you see someone with a watch?

[@chriswray983]

Hi Brendan - great video - I too have the Explore11 in white which I love , fits well on the wrist, the orange Hour marker I really like but not to everyone's taste , part of my collection and will not be moving on

[@russcornfield4241]

Both great watches. Like the white dial great watch for a daily wear.👌
