I think for the same price as that TT GMT - you could buy a pre-owned Patek in White Gold. That would be way more class IMHO.

Love the Cellinis, but don't think I'll ever buy one. You'd be surprised to learn that although I'm NOT a strap person, I would much prefer the Cellini in YG on a nice croc strap. I like the very FLAT dressy models.

Oooh, JJ...that's beautiful. BTW, I know that's a rather new aqusition...how's the accuracy? My M SUB - my first BNIB - gains a +2 a day, and loses it (crown up) at night. These newer movements are wicked good.

Wear it in good health,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, the accuracy is truly amazing.

On the wrist, virtually ZERO deviation. When placed on the dresser crown UP, could lose half a second overnight; but if placed crown DOWN, tends to lose a bit more.

On the wrist is the best way to wear this watch!!

Did you look at the new sub as well? I am stuck between the new black TT Sub (not so crazy about the new blue) or the TT GMT. I say stuck but really it will be a few years before I can pull off another purchase... still a guy can dream..

I love this watch. It's the best looking TT they have. I also love the TT Daytona with black dial.

Wear it well!

If you knew what I know about that watch's association with all that's vile, evil and corrupt.............you'd take it off the screen, buddy!!

That watch is the epitome of pure, unadulterated FILTH!! A watch which has led to the actual burning alive of young innocent girls and first degree murder!!

If I remember right JJ, your dislike (hatred?) for gold Rados is because of certain archaic marriage customs in Iran?

Anyway, I agree with your original post - the TT GMT II ceramic is a truly handsome watch!

Not Iran, my friend...........but back home in India when the above RADO Diastar (for some reason the most popular of them all because of the GOLD look) had to be given by the father of the bride to his to be son-in-law as ONE of the many gifts...........as a sort of "bribe" to marry his daughter.

In many instances, if the gifts were not sufficient, the in-laws would burn the girl alive!! Many cases were reported and it was pretty rampant at one point until the Government clamped down.

The "dowry" system, however, still prevails today!!
