Hi Guys. Since both Yatchmaster and GMT 2c do have more bling on them than the current Sub 16610 and previous GMT 2 which would you prefer and why? Just curious

Mr Sandman · 8 April 2009, 03:01 AM

GMT II c. but only because I prefer an all SS watch.The Yatchmaster never has floated my boat (no pun intended)

Ask JJ if he would flip his Yatchmaster....He's had it too long now anyway

I hate the YM because of the boring grey dial
GMT II-c all the way

LDLemu4U · 8 April 2009, 03:07 AM

They are both beautiful pieces! Just acquired my IIc last month and the Platty is in my short list.

Bebot · 8 April 2009, 03:12 AM

I just sold my SS/Plat YM to purchase a SS GMT IIc. Is not that I don't like the YM, I just got bored with it.

Anyone here want to give me a good deal on the GMT IIc?

Asian Sub · 8 April 2009, 03:27 AM

Honestly, i used to like the Yatchmaster but after trying on a GMT 2c, i am more inclined now on getting the GMT 2c.

Go for it! You will not be disappointed. I sold my YM last week and I honestly not missing it at all. I guaranty you that once I get my GMT IIc, I won't even rememeber that I had a YM.

Btw, where in P.I. are you located?

Lion · 8 April 2009, 03:40 AM

Both watches would be fun to own but if I had to pick one, it would be the GMT-IIc!!!

2th Dr · 8 April 2009, 03:43 AM

Having both the TT YM, complete w/ MOP dial and diamond/sapphire markers, and the newly acquired GMT IIc, I would say...

Come on guys, you know the answer to this...

GMC IIc!!!

Daytonaboy1977 · 8 April 2009, 03:45 AM

GMT II C for me hands down but suppose as usual personal choice!!! if everyone liked the same it would be a boring watch forum!!!

browngo1 · 8 April 2009, 03:57 AM

Well it's just my way of thinking, but I wouldn't buy a YM unless I had a yacht!

And I know someone is going to say that they have a Sub, but don't own a submarine or they have a DSSD and can't swim!

It's just me!

GMT-IIC all the way, and no, I don't have an aeroplane!!

JIM- · 8 April 2009, 04:29 AM

I'd say the YM, its by far the most underrated sport model and truly is a gem of a watch. I esspecaily like the TT YMs the best. The GMT while nice, for most really serves no purpose.

So that means I cant buy a President..

WatchSmith · 8 April 2009, 05:46 AM

I prefer the GMT IIc, but the YM is a fabulous Rolex in my opinion, and much nicer looking than the garish YM II.

Asian Sub · 8 April 2009, 03:37 PM

Can't wait to get my GMT 2c

Timber Loftis · 8 April 2009, 03:46 PM

The platty YM is nice indeed, but I prefer the GMTIIc.

joeyk · 8 April 2009, 08:11 PM

before gmt iic released the platty was the 1 on my head but ..... dont get wrong i still droop...... about it hopefully soon ;)

kcmo · 9 April 2009, 12:11 AM

Between these two I'd go with the GMTIIC....I find the Plat YM a bit monotone.

Levelpar1 · 9 April 2009, 12:24 AM

Here are the two watches side by side. I sold the YM. It was just to monotone for my taste. Now if it came with a black dial It would be on my wrist right now.

hflee55 · 9 April 2009, 01:31 AM

GMTIIC. I never did warm up to the YM.
