I have a friend thats very indecisive and is also going to make a very large purchase for an all gold Rolex. I thought these 2 were good choices. What do you think?

I love the YG GMTIIC; but if I were going to look at a Daytona, I would look at the Rose Gold Black Dial...stunning!

@saddleSC I 100% agree with you. Im a big fan of the Rose Daytona!
@dr.robert Im pushing him towards this path but he can seem to keep his eyes off the GMT @tkerrmd you are right there are waaaay too many dial options that why I think its a little tough to decide which one to go with. He's even considering the paul newman white dial @steelerfan65 THATS WHAT IM TALKIN' ABOUT !!!! I think that might be the game changer if I show him that pic @keeperoftime me too!! Im almost pushing him to get it so I can wear it out some nights hahaha |

 Whatever, I'll go with the GMT!  In all seriousness, both are wonderful choices but I think I would indeed go with the GMT-IIc. Still, both would most probably look fantastic on your friend's wrist!

Gold GMTIIC is one of the best looking watches Rolex makes in my humble opinion.

Ahhh yes! The 116718
 That Daytona with the red indices is something else! OP with those choices you showed us my cash is behind the 116718 10 out of 10 times ;-)

I like YG, but not so much in the sub & GMT.....the daytona, even though it's a tool watch as well, looks fantabulous in YG.

No question it would be the YG GMT with a YG Sub second and then a Daytona. I have both and the GMT gets by far more wrist time as I don't like to wear a watch without a date. My Daytona is more my "dress" watch where the GMT is a better all around watch.
Just JMHO.

GMT. No date for me is a huge killer on a $25k watch. I really don't think I could drop $30k on a Rolex. I'd be looking at PP or AP. the GMT with a green dial is one of my favorites.
