Two tone or not?

Thinking about a GMT II, so I was wonder what people think about two tone vs steel.

I can't stand the CPLs on it ... or on any other watch ... polished steel on the bracelet just doesn't get me going .... if you're gonna go with a watch with PCL, then go with GOLD .... at least it is gonna look awesome with the steel combo ..... and they both get scratched easily anyways so go with the gold....

SS is more universal and forgiving with what types of outfits you can wear it with. Particularly if you don't wear much gold such as myself.

TT would be my vote for the GMT IIC as well!!
Although you need to get what sings to you the most + what fits in your budget!!
Good luck.!

GMT II c - TT all the way!

That Gold on the ceramic bezel looks GEORGEOUS!!!

I donīt mind the PCLs on that model, I like the clasp, I can ( have to ;-/ ) live with the bigger case, but I DO NOT LIKE the MAXI DIAL!

Those arenīt hour markers, thatīs BLOBS!

Depends why else you got. Your watch description already suggests you have it ??? If my only rolex SS all the way. If I had an SS sports like the sub I'd definitely go TT. I think it's a gorgeous watch either way. Although if tt I'd always choose the black or blue sub!!

both great combo's on the GMTIIc, personally, one of the few models I think looks AS GOOD in TT over SS/solid Gold

HOWEVER, for me, as beautiful as it looks in pics, something always appears a little too 'yellow' for me on the bezel of the TT GMTIIc in the flesh - it is a beautiful fit and finish, a superbly refined model, even in SS. Cant go wrong! go with what you love!
