I know it all depends on what catches my eye but I thought I'd presennt my dilemma out for some Saturday fun. I bought a great Panerai but the Luminor case was not my style so I flipped it. I've got the itch to pick up another piece and probably a Rolex. What can I say the brand is my first love. To help me decided my present inventory includes a SS Sub C and. GMT II Pepsi with oyster bracelet. I wear and enjoy them both. Not looking to replace either but perhaps add something more dressy and different. A touch of gold would be OK. Any suggestions and pics would be sincerely appreciated.

Well myself not a fan of any precious metal watches but a TT Daytona if the price was right might be a good choice for you.Or trade your GMT 11 for a TT
GMT 11, and plenty to choose from in the DJ range too.

Thanks both are great suggestions and actually both have crossed my mind. That's my dilemma. I'm seeing some interesting designs on the updated datejusts and they have been catching my eye lately. I like the increased case size too. Your blue dial is awesome.

I also think that, considering two watches that you already have, DJ would be the right choice.

There is really many options within DJ line, there is also DJ II 41mm(when you said that you like the size, you maybe referred to that?), there are two-tones, Turn-o-graphs...
Good luck!

I'm in the same position ( sort of) and i'm cpnsidering a milgauss gv , totally differemt, bit more dressy, but still a bit sporty. No gold however.... Guess that's not my thing.
So good luck deciding, what a wonderfull dilemma!!

Thanks guys, just returned from the AD. I tried on both the GMT II C TT and the Date Just II, TT, slate grey dial with green roman numerals. Both very sweet. I was surprised how the GMT sat a little lower in profile then the Sub C. Did not pull the trigger though. If I decide on the GMT TT II C then i would probably sell the Pepsi. If I went with the DJ I would keep it. Decisions...decisions.....

What about a bit different kind of DJ II? SS/WG blue dial, or SS/WG rhodium dial?

I think a TT DJII would be a great addition to your collection

AJMarcus · 26 June 2011, 07:24 AM

All great suggestions guys. Eric, that is one amazing time piece. The AD said it was unofficially an anniversary piece for the new DJ. Not sure if that was bs but it sounded plausible with the green numerals. How versatile is it for you? Btw, it's on my short list. Thanks.

The Joker · 26 June 2011, 07:32 AM

What about a touch of white gold

Dr. Robert · 26 June 2011, 07:37 AM

datejust or explorer.

I have heard something about being the anniversary, but if that was the case, then why did they bother to bring out other dial variants at the same time... Just doesn't make sense to me. I'm a huge sucker for Rolex green colour, so I had to have it as soon as I saw it

It is quite versatile.. It goes will with casual attire too.... IMO.

Dino,
I you like Rolex green, then this is quite nice. Have to admit that I just haven't spent "that much time" with this one...

I always shift my attention elsewhere

Might I suggest a platty...
