Would have to say out of these two, I prefer the Milgauss GV.

Unfortunately the GMT IIc does nothing for me.

Own both types. Both great, but the GMT-IIC is my favorite Rolex. Just so useful.

Yes, if price was exactly the same. The GMTIIC is my first choice.

I have both of them. I would pick the GMTIIc, classy and an all around great watch.

Now that's the kind of valuable advice you can count on Harv !
VZMAX has them both and still prefers the GMT IIc, as most replies have alreday indicated.

jeez out of some 20 replies... only 3 for the GV...

for my birthday in april... i plumped for the seadweller over the GMTIIC... if im honest it was because it was being discontinued...

however today i got the call for a GV (to be delivered in december)... since the new prices are £3800 and £4040 ish for the GV and GMTIIC respectively... ive got some thinking to do...

I just had a chance to buy a GMTIIC or a Milgauss.
I chose the GMTIIC. Not a second thought.
