My Next Watch

It looks like my navitimer is about to sell. The reason why I was selling it in the first place was to help fund a little something called a TT GMTiic. I tried one on at Tourneau a few days ago and may I say that it is breathtaking, but now I just have to figure out now if I am going to buy it new or second hand.

Good choice?

Rolex Two Tone GMTii Ceramic Model 116713

second hand, save the $$$.. a nice pre owned TT should be 6.5-7.5k....

I love it and really like my TT. I would look at the sellers here to see if you can get a LNIB. It will save you a bundle.

Have you considered the new TT black ceramic Sub?

It costs the same as the TT GMT but IMO it looks better with a less busy bezel and offers a better clasp (Glidelock) that offers micro-adjustment to fit your wrist in different temperatures.

I have but finding one when they first come out is going to be a pain.

Ontop of this, the black and gold combo the GMT has is a show stopper to say the least.

New or used, it is a very attractive watch on the wrist. You don't see many of the TTs on the 'for sale' boards...so if one comes up, you may want to jump at it. Just get yourself comfortable with the seller beforehand. You can use this site to help in the search.

Best of luck...d

saw that one at the AD and the prices were identical. If I remember correctly, the MSRP on the TT GMT was $10,350 while the TT Sub was $10,400. Either way, I prefer the look of the TT GMTc because it looks better (atleast to me). The GMT has the green text and green second time zone hand which is awesome.
