I am thinking about getting a Gold GMT ll. I can't decide between the standard black face and green arrow or the anniversary green faced one. To all of you that have them. Are you glad you chose the one you did or are you now wishing you should have gotten the "other" one? Just wondering.

kcmo · 31 December 2007, 11:20 AM

I don't have one but wanted to respond anyway! I saw the green dial gold GMT II at two different ADs this weekend and don't like it at all. Too much IMO. The black is definitely more versatile. Just my 2 cents!

jdH · 31 December 2007, 11:23 AM

I'll go with the black face more classic and stunning.

Robb · 31 December 2007, 11:35 AM

Black!!!!! The green is a little off to me. Its not like the LV green!!

mostel · 31 December 2007, 11:43 AM

I would go for that one if money were no object and I was comfortable with a flashy watch. Aside from being sort of uncomfortable wearing all that gold, I like the gold one better for pure looks.

DSJ · 31 December 2007, 02:05 PM

I like the green. You can always get the black with the TT or SS or almost any other watch!

frostie · 31 December 2007, 05:05 PM

Black face all the way

CPCC · 31 December 2007, 05:31 PM

I would strongly support the black bezel. I dont care for the green bezel at all.

There is no full gold gmt with a green bezel

. Probably you are talking about the dial since there are 2 dials available the green one and the black one

JBat · 31 December 2007, 05:54 PM

I'm really happy with the black face. I wouldn't get it any other way.

SPACE-DWELLER · 31 December 2007, 05:56 PM

Funnily enough, I actually had the same thoughts this morning when I was sitting browsing the new Rolex catalogue whilst having a cup of coffee.

I admire the YG GMT IIc, but if I were to choose between the "Anniversary" (green-dialled) version and the all-black one, I'd take the all-black GMT IIc anytime!

What I especially like on it is that the font is WHITE and not gilt like on the YG Sub Date, for instance. On the "Anniversary" GMT IIc, the font is gilt.

The all-black dialled GMT IIc is an awesome Rolex, IMHO, and I am having a hard time deciding if I would go for that one or the DD 118238 if I were to get a YG Rolex at some time.

mike · 31 December 2007, 07:38 PM

I've had them both on. For me the black is the choice.

Lol-x · 31 December 2007, 07:42 PM

I' agree with mike, I'd go with the black dial

mic6 · 31 December 2007, 07:58 PM

black

JJ Irani · 1 January 2008, 04:47 AM

While the BLACK would be the automatic choice of most members here on this forum, the GREEN dial does look very beautiful too.

I've seen it in person and it would go well on very fair skin!! Just my 2 cents. Here's pics of both - take your pick!!

FlyingMoose · 1 January 2008, 04:52 AM

From the pictures, I like the green better, but I've never seen either one in person.

watchlady · 1 January 2008, 04:53 AM

Black!! Way more versatile and professional looking!

Thanks, but I've just been saving them whenever I get the chance. They are NOT mine, but I've been around a few forums these past 5 years and whenever I see a stunning picture, make it a point to just save it for future use.

waeleldasher · 1 January 2008, 05:16 AM

If I were to buy one, sight unseen, I would buy the green dial. But then again, I bought several yellow sports cars and I am not afraid of color...there is too much black around, every model has a black dial...there is only one green, that's how I would rationalize it.

cheers

Trurolexer · 1 January 2008, 05:29 AM

Both good...but maybe the black more stunning...

GoldenBear · 1 January 2008, 05:35 AM

I went back to look again. I do like the black. If I won the Master's and they gave me one, then the green would do. Black and gold is a nice combo (especially since my TT is blue and gold). Thanks.

BlackpoolRolexCoaste · 1 January 2008, 05:41 AM

Remember - black is the new black!
(It's never going to go out of fashion but GREEN??? I don't even like the green bezels)

Gaijin · 1 January 2008, 09:32 AM

Love the green!

and...

Remember the Green dial all gold GMT per Rolex is the only official 50th Anniversary GMT II C.

Having studie dthe pics posted by JJ, the Black face is the more "classic", however the Green is stunning.
