Review of the Casio Edifice EFX700D
Rolex makes their own movements (most watch manufacturers purchase them from another company) which means the inside of a Rolex is as well crafted as the outside.The only complaint I have about the Rolex GMT Master II is the clasp. The watch overall has an amazingly solid feel that exudes quality and craftsmanship -- until you get to the clasp. The first thing I don't like is how Rolex tries to make it invisible by stamping a pattern into it that makes it blend in with the bracelet. Clasps are an important part of a watch, and in my opinion, should be emphasized and celebrated, not hidden. And the second thing I don't like is the fact that it's too thin and cheap looking. Admittedly I haven't had any problems with it, and the Oysterlock bracelet is generally very well respected, but I maintain that the clasp looks cheap and a little silly. If I've come to realize anything about watches over the years, however, it's that you will never find a single watch that you love every last thing about and has every last feature you want, so in the overall scheme of things, I can overlook the clasp issue -- as long as it stays fastened.Overall, I love the GMT Master II.If you're looking for a very handsome, very high quality, low-key watch to accompany you on trips across time zones, the GMT Master II will not disappoint.The Rolex GMT Master II is available with a black or brown (ugh!) dial, and with three different bezel styles: all back, red and black, and the classic blue and red (also knows as the Pepsi bezel). The Rolex GMT Master II currently sells for $4,525 and is almost never discounted. As always, if you decide to go Rolex shopping, make sure you are buying from an authorized dealer or a reputable personal seller.
