 Is a Rolex 3X as good as ????....the answer is usually NO!  But the answer to your question is that if you are buying it for YOU, get whatever you want...if you are buying for OTHERS, get the Rolex.

I happen to be a fan of the Rolex GMT Master II and have one.  I don't particularly like the style of the Patek Aquanaut 5167/1A.  Also, (and this info was hard to find), it is a 40mm case...a little on the small side (these days) but perfectly appropriate for a dress watch.

I think the Rolex is a little more functional and would get more wear (unless you are afraid of dinging it)...so as a personal choice, I would go for the GMT.
