Hi all

I currently own a stainless Sub C and a stainless black dial Daytona (both purchased brand new last year).

I'm contemplating a third and the two tone GMT II C has caught my attention.

I think this would make a nice addition but am seeking some moral support and/or pros/cons...

Thanks!

Naples09 · 29 January 2011, 06:45 AM

Go for it!

Or check out a nice TT DJ or TT DJ II

Oops, I posted in the wrong section.

I'm sorry!

dddrees · 29 January 2011, 09:43 AM

Hey if thats what you want go for it.

I actually purchased a TT DJ II for my third one. At the time I thought this might be better because that way I would have a something a bit more dressy.

psv · 29 January 2011, 09:44 AM

At first I though no to similar but then I re-read: two-tone! That would make a great addition, I think.

That or pick up something dressier from another brand, e.g. on leather strap.

bigjon · 29 January 2011, 01:08 PM

Bought the two tone gmtc first and then the ss sub c. Love the splash of gold on the gmt as well as the gold letters on the bezel.

dilly_56 · 8 March 2011, 04:10 PM

Do it!

watchyou · 9 March 2011, 07:45 AM

Very nice and solid watch...go for it!

Cons: Do you really need another?

PHDX2 · 9 March 2011, 07:52 AM

A new watch? Sure!

sea-dweller · 12 March 2011, 02:42 PM

Go for it!

bigjon · 12 March 2011, 11:42 PM

I have the subc and the gmt 2c tt. Love both. Gmt 2c tt dressier look with gold bezel and pcl. Why not?

sleddog · 13 March 2011, 12:12 AM

Moved!

A TT is always a great option to have in any collection, go for it!

petesjag · 13 March 2011, 12:36 AM

definitly do it!!!! its a great watch...I had a SS version but traded for a TT, could not be happier!

Frogman4me · 13 March 2011, 12:57 AM

If its within your financial means I say go for it!

Joey_V · 13 March 2011, 01:10 AM

globalmedia33 · 13 March 2011, 01:18 AM

You can not go wrong with the GMTIIc.

liptonnr · 13 March 2011, 01:23 AM

Go for it, it is only money and there is no luggage rack on the ...!

Fearsome Puppy · 13 March 2011, 01:34 AM

Makes perfect sense. Go for it...

mike · 13 March 2011, 01:59 AM

I think it would make an outstanding addition.

m6894 · 13 March 2011, 02:22 AM

I think the TT GMT IIc is one of the best looking watches made ATM. Go for it.

cyglee · 13 March 2011, 02:31 AM

You are asking us if you need another rolex?

My rationale is always "this will be my last one"...

Dr. Robert · 13 March 2011, 02:34 AM

Yes, si, oui, ja, da, hai.

Islander · 13 March 2011, 02:37 AM

After amassing a modest collection of SS Rolex watches, I bought my first TT earlier this year (a Daytona) and really love the flash of gold it brings.

I wouldn't hesitate with your proposed next purchase - but there again, as said above... you are asking this on a Rolex forum!!??

Chris B · 13 March 2011, 02:46 AM

Do it without further delay lol

mrbill2mrbill2 · 13 March 2011, 03:08 AM

When it comes to TT or precious metal Rolexes go pre-owned. For SS go new. The TT and precious metal Rolexes take a brutal price drop - new vs. pre-owned.

AK40DJ50 · 13 March 2011, 03:39 AM

The TT GMT IIc is one of the best looking Rolex IMO. It would make an outstanding addition to your collection.

jakologo · 13 March 2011, 04:14 AM

The TT GMT C would be an excellent choice! I have a TT and an SS and the TT really "pops". The gold imprinted bezel is gorgeous in person and the green hand is a striking contrast to the gold. With the TT you get the look of gold with a cost closer to SS.
