First Rolex....Anyone have a side by side GMT II & Yachtmaster II....?
I've started the process of choosing my first Rolex....I'm impulsive when it comes to other watches but it's taken me a long time to decide on which Rolex I really wanted.....

I think I've narrowed it down to the GMT II two tone gold and the Yachmaster II either two tone or SS. I also like the GMTs with different bezel colors (Pepsi, coke, etc.)
I'm looking for side by side pictures of those 2 watches. If anyone has wrist shots as well, that'd be great...

Thanks much!

In the office with no side-by sides here (maybe tonight!), but here are a couple of my GMT and recently acquired YMII! Good luck.

GMT is pretty irresistible in Thomas's two shot.

How about a side-by-side wrist shot?

I happen to be a GMT fan, but that YM-II is stunning. Both look good on you, Mike.

great shot Mike. I wasn't a fan of the TT watches until I saw the SS/RG YMII. That looks great. I also like the YG GMTII with the green ceramic dial.

I'd probably make the decision based on size and weight of what your comfortable with. Both are stunning.

The YM II wears good on my wrist...I have a 7.5-8" wrists. I love the uniqueness of the YM but I also love the classic look of the Sub and GMT....

I would get the GMT for a one and only or a 1st Rolex as it has the date function but both amazing pieces
