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

datejust1 · 26 October 2009, 04:15 AM

I'd go with steel

kcmo · 26 October 2009, 04:19 AM

In that model, I prefer the ss version

rolexsubdate · 26 October 2009, 04:32 AM

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....

mikefrmnj · 26 October 2009, 04:56 AM

Either way its a win

Mauiguy · 26 October 2009, 04:57 AM

I got the TT and couldn't be any happier! Here's a gorgeous pic I borrowed w/o permission (apologies)!

Aloha!

G.J · 26 October 2009, 04:59 AM

I don't have a TT Rolex, but i do like them...

iSellJerseyShore · 26 October 2009, 04:59 AM

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.

WOW!! What a superb picture - glad I went with the exact same watch!!

Zgar · 26 October 2009, 05:07 AM

Either way you can't go wrong

esm · 26 October 2009, 05:37 AM

i would go TT, thats because i have a few SS watches already.

sleddog · 26 October 2009, 05:40 AM

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.!

deserted · 26 October 2009, 05:45 AM

TT .........Is my choice.

Prince · 26 October 2009, 05:47 AM

I have to vote for steel & gold!

cody p · 26 October 2009, 06:12 AM

i think ss is the safer and cheaper choice stylewise.

SS all the way~

WJGESQ · 26 October 2009, 07:19 AM

Two tone looks fantastic.

Armand · 26 October 2009, 07:28 AM

GMT II c - TT all the way!

That Gold on the ceramic bezel looks GEORGEOUS!!!

I don´t 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 aren´t hour markers, that´s BLOBS!

Prince · 26 October 2009, 07:34 AM

As of right now, the count is:

12 for TT

7 for SS

2 for either one

sturgeon123456 · 26 October 2009, 07:43 AM

mark me down for tt, a little precious metal goes a long way!!

dalip · 26 October 2009, 08:07 AM

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!!

jameshe · 26 October 2009, 08:10 AM

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!

RPB · 26 October 2009, 08:12 AM

I got the SS a few months back and I would get the TT now anyday! Get the TT i would say :)
I think it looks amazing in either, but the gold does look good.
