Have you decided?
I would make decision based on your current collection as well.
GMT is probably the best from the 3 you listed functionally speaking. But the look on your wrist is equally important.

First, I have a TT Serti GMT. But, for my first watch I would not go with diamonds as you never know how your tastes will change. At first I was all TT and now I have grown to enjoy and appreciate SS. The SS GMT IIc is a fantastic watch and a homerun, even over the SS or TT SUB, for a first watch. Of course opinions vary.

I love the Sub. TT w/ silver serti. Will definitely add that to my collection in the near future.

quesp99 · 14 November 2008, 03:37 AM

Yacht Master SS Platinum is the best IMO. I had a GMT IIc and I traded it in for the Yacht Master.

skyrider007 · 14 November 2008, 03:45 AM

Definitely the GMT IIc. I'm dying to get that watch.

Nakow · 14 November 2008, 04:01 AM

My vote would be GMT IIc first followed by the mighty yachty ! A big NO for TT Sub !!!

mikeym · 14 November 2008, 04:10 AM

platinum yachtmaster is imo the best looking watch rolex makes.

scottschoe · 14 November 2008, 05:24 AM

IIC. Try it on and it feels like a quality watch - the other models won't feel as 'solid' on the wrist.

rolex_addict · 14 November 2008, 08:03 AM

its tough but I kinda prefer the YM! its just stunning!

Spark · 14 November 2008, 08:19 AM

Try them all and see which one smiles at you most this time and then next time you can go for the one that smiled the second most and so on until you own all of them.
Then you'll only have the problem of deciding which one to wear

Chris B · 14 November 2008, 08:46 AM

Of the choices offered, by a longish whisker I'd take the GMT IIc

bigterpsfan · 14 November 2008, 09:58 AM

I just recently purchased the SS GMT-IIc and love it so far. I have had several compliments and as another TRF member said, it is a watch that feels "solid" on my wrist.

builtforspeed · 15 November 2008, 09:06 AM

I love my ss/pl YM (wearing it as I type this) but that new GMT IIC is really something!

K-R · 15 November 2008, 10:33 AM

GMT IIc (IMO)
Go with Sub TT only when the dial is blue.

Singslinger · 15 November 2008, 12:23 PM

I own only one of the three - the platinum YM - but think that the other 2 are fine watches that I wouldn't mind owning one day. For me, the choice boils down to functionality and how much you value the "bling'' factor that each offers since the Serti dial will give you precious stones, the YM will give you a shiny platinum bezel (albeit understated) and the GMT will give you a shiny, eye-catching ceramic bezel (and a new movement).

Good luck - all are handsome watches and you can't really go wrong with any of them!
