In other words the 100m WR of GMT 2 is more than enough for what I need and the added functionality of dual time is very useful for the time difference of Hawaii with the mainland.
In other words, I can't think of one reason to wear a dive watch (300m) with me when I already have a GMT 2 when I'm vacationing. Well I guess the other reason would be that my dive watch is ceramic whereas my GMT is rose gold so less conspicuous to wear the dive watch.
I guess it's a rhetorical dilemma but I'm interested in what others have to say since many of you have a bigger collection than I do.

The whole point about Rolex Oyster case watches is that you can for example take a Lady DJ Pearlmaster chronometer with a Pearl dial and diamond indicia and use it as:
- your amateur snorkelling/scuba watch
- your ship's chronometer
- a dress watch
Even vintage Rolex watches do this perfectly as long as they are correctly serviced.
So in short, your modern six digit reference, ceramic bezel, GMT Master 2, and its insanely satisfying over engineering, is just fine for swimming on holidays.
