IMHO this is the perfect watch. I know most don't prefer the green dial, but I love it and wouldn't want it any other way.

Arthur Daley · 28 October 2006, 11:28 AM

You must work out to wear something like that

Enjoy.

Arthur Daley · 28 October 2006, 11:30 AM

That thing must weigh a ton. Beautiful piece.

colemanitis · 28 October 2006, 11:36 AM

I tried on the black dial a few month ago, it's a very heavy watch. My arm was sore the next day.

mike · 28 October 2006, 11:38 AM

I had the oppertunity to try both the green and black dial versions on at the watch show.
Most impressive!!

I'll admit to a preference for the black,and yeah, they're heavy!

colemanitis · 28 October 2006, 11:55 AM

Mike, when you gonna pick one up?

LOL! As soon as it comes out in stainless!

Part of the pleasure I get from my 1675 is the slender case and the light weight.
If there is a new GMT with the more solid, thicker case, I will be interested to see if it feels as good as my 1675.
I find the Green Sub and the SD a little heavy in comparison to the 1675 and from what I can see a SS GMTII with the thicker lugs may upon it's release be the heaviest SS Rolex on the market.

all gold, ain't that be a bit too flashy?

Rockrolex · 30 October 2006, 01:13 PM

I'm sorry, guys. I just can't get myself to like the green dial, especially with the all gold around it. It doesn't work for me. But then the LV Sub does nothing for me either. Maybe I'm a stick in the mud, but give me basic black and SS on a tool watch.

....or your favourite....delicious ORANGE!!!

Flyjet601 · 30 October 2006, 04:13 PM

It is an awesome watch....

As soon as I can, I am getting one TT

TARDIS · 30 October 2006, 04:13 PM

It has a triplock crown, maxi dial. Different dial color, so why don't Rolex call it a GMT III?

Anyone know how much the 18kt one weighs (grams)?

Steve

Steve

Let's see now....the TT Blue Sub definitely weighs 148 grams and the new TT GMT-II is heavier...so I would guess around 165 grams because of the SOLID gold links.

The FULL gold new GMT-II, my guess would be....well over 200 grams, in fact, close to around 250 grams. (The SS OMEGA P.O. 45.5 mm weighs 222 grams).

Dont like all gold watches myself,but in SS yes, and a maybe in a TT

Ravens35 · 31 October 2006, 02:04 AM

I love the green dial. It would look even better if they added a green bezel. I hate the gold though. They need to make that watch in stainless.

chc4au · 31 October 2006, 02:46 AM

I was in an AD trying to decided between a Black Face or White face Daytona and tried the Gold Green Face GMT II on and bought it on the spot. Love it and most of all you will not see it very often.
