Do you need a date complication? If not, look into a 14060 Sub.
Good luck! |

I'd get a GMTIIC over any Datejust.

What type of work are you in? If you dress up more, the DJII would be better, though the GMT is a fine dress watch, though if you're not dressing up as much, the GMT might serve better as a sport watch if you work outside of a dress profession.
If I were you, I'd get the GMT in TT. |

Welcome to TRF. GMT Master C will be a good choice. But any Rolex that you like is good!

1. If you don't need a date get the Sub No Date, 14060M
2. If you travel / do business overseas get the GMT IIc, 116710

Welcome to TRF.
Listen to what you want. Sport watch over dress unless it is something you really like or need as part of what you do for a living. 26 YO and you like the TT..... interesting. For me, GMT hands down, but I like sport watches.

Find a local AD with a large verity of models available - try as many as you see fit... pick one that "speaks" to you. Of course, that would probably be the most sensible way of doing it. But, this is a watch forum after all...

Welcome to TRF.
Go down to your local AD and try a couple of them on and do some comparisons. TT GMTIIC gets my vote.

TT watches only work for odd number years like 25, 27, or 29.

At your age, a sports model is right. As far as sports models go, it's hard to beat my favorite, the GMT2C - loyal following of the ubiqitous Submariner notwithstanding.
