"Difficult" Third Rolex >>>
...well fourth really, but the AK is now firmly welded to Lady Miss Psmith's slender wrist
Looking to add one of the above... or should I hold fire until Basel to see what's new ? Currently have SS Sub Date and Exp II /black ( I'm also running a parallel thread seeking buying advice in Singapore: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=65389 ) Thanks all

GMT IIc all the way. You'll have to wait the best part of a year to get your hands on anything launched at Basel.

if you can wait then wait.but if you are really hot.its a toss coin between sub lv and gmt2c. IMO those two watches are significant pieces.lv coz its a 50th anniv sub, the green made it unique!will stop production soon! and the gmt2 C the first to bear the ceramic bezel innovation.both significant rolex art therefore in the modern era/time!

Then the AK will come back to you. |

Wait for Basel ,but it will most likely not be in the shops until later in the year.
If you want one now:- I would go for a vintage Datejust or whatever you like But if its a sports no contest:- I tried a TT GMT on yesterday and it was awesome Best of luck in your choice Si

Wait for Basel...
Waiting, searching, imagining is the best part in the watch quest... cause from what i read as soon as you'll get the new one... you'll look for the next... So at least you save 9 months more !! lol

Mine goes to Milgauss. It is simply beautiful. If not for the green crystal I would have gotten the black face myself. You have a diving watch and one with two-time zone. An anti-magnetic watch will complement your collection. It could even be seen as a bigger version of the DJ stick dial with an unique second hand.

I would normally say go for an LV but you already have a sub date. Go for the GMT IIc.

I do not understand why you would purchase the Sub LV or the GMT-IIC. Neither of them serve any functionality towards you, as you already own a Sub Date and an Explorer II.
I would not purchase the Milgauss. $6200-ish is ridiculous for a watch without a date.

Now that makes sense to me!!  I would grab the GMT-IIC for now and then lie low for a while. Wait and see what "atrocities" or "nicities" come out of Basel......and at what prices!! Then......time will tell. A bird in the hand is worth several in Rolex's bush. Grab that GMT-IIC......NOW!!

All the watches you listed can now be bought at very reasonable prices. In the case of the black Milgauss, I daresay you'll be able to wangle a double-digit discount from ADs in Singapore (the list price is S$8,500). So if you can't wait for Basel, you can rest assured you're not overpaying for whichever watch you choose. Good luck!
