Nice watch!

Well... I am fortunate enough to have both GMTs and like them each but for very different reasons. However, given the choice I would probably not give up the 16710 for the ceramic version.

Both are great watches in their own right but since the 16710 is now discontinued it is even more special. Plus, add in the other bezel inserts and both bracelet options and you have 6 watches in one!

Just search Dan Pierce here on TRF and you will see what I mean.

PS: I have a white Exp II and would definitely recommend keeping the 16710 and getting an Exp II versus just the GMT IIC.

Byrdguy · 9 December 2011, 11:39 AM

I prefer the ceramic Subs and GMTs. I don't think you'll regret the swap.

Mickey® · 9 December 2011, 11:45 AM

NO WAY on C...
I love the Explore II (Classic Version) though!!! So maybe sell it to buy one of these!

Maybe your just bored with the GMTII...get a PEPSI Bezel for it!!!??

p_mcgee · 9 December 2011, 12:21 PM

I like the looks equally, but for me the 16710 is way more comfortable than the GMT2c. I wear the 16710 all day without noticing it, but I couldn't wait to get the GMT2c off after just a few hours.

Watchdog · 9 December 2011, 12:23 PM

Love both but I would rather have the GMTIIC. Perfect watch.

Great point...I wear my GMT II and Explorer II more than my 16610LV because they are SOOOOOO much more comfortable...and it is smaller compared to GMTIIC. They are so much more comfortable...I haven't worn LV in weeks almost.

I'd sell it if I wouldn't regret it in 10 years or when its time for Spring Break in the Keys!

MortgageGuy · 9 December 2011, 12:34 PM

I would say yes. The IIc happens to be my favorite watch in the Rolex line up at the moment so I am a bit biased and own one too

CDNWatchNut · 9 December 2011, 12:35 PM

I wouldn't, but if you really prefer the IIc then you should

As was already said, maybe a color change is all you need...

drockadam · 9 December 2011, 12:22 PM

Don't do it! Just get a nice Coke and Pepsi bezel to switch it up!

sorry learning a i go

gwozhog · 9 December 2011, 12:38 PM

nch209 · 9 December 2011, 12:42 PM

To the OP-does he 16710 have any special meaning to you? Did you buy it new and "just had to have it" at one time? These questions may help you decide.

I have both gmts you speak of, and both have good and bad points. Good luck with your decision!

Langleyz · 9 December 2011, 01:27 PM

Don't do it.

LAJM · 9 December 2011, 01:33 PM

I love my pepsi and although I could be talked into a GMT C there is absolutely no way I am ever ever giving up my pepsi. Just saying

dooder202 · 9 December 2011, 01:38 PM

Yes. I think you should. The ceramic is incredible!

watchf · 9 December 2011, 08:36 PM

Its really subjective, if it was me I would in a heartbeat. The new ceramic models are so much better (in my personal opinion but not everyone will agree) in features, feel and much more substantial than the old ones.

stusrt · 10 December 2011, 12:24 AM

YES !!! for sure!
the new GMT's are so much better

rad87gn · 10 December 2011, 01:11 AM

I wouldn't.

BeekerMuppet · 10 December 2011, 08:43 AM

I don't like the ceramic bezel, so I wouldn't. The 16570 is an awesome watch, though!

thewatchguy93 · 10 December 2011, 09:07 AM

Going from an old GMT... to a shinny new GMTIIc is a huge upgrade

brkanand · 10 December 2011, 09:25 AM

Yes - in my opinion!

renfield33 · 10 December 2011, 10:39 AM

first of all, you should never sell a watch... only add to the stable.

as a pepsi GMTII owner, i would never sell it for a GMTIIC.

AJMarcus · 10 December 2011, 11:14 AM

Go for it! The improvements are well worth it IMO.

Jason71 · 10 December 2011, 01:38 PM

Don't do it. You will regret it.

JJL · 10 December 2011, 01:37 PM

If it wasn't for the green accents on the ceramic, I might say yes... The upgrades to the watch are great BUT I personally would keep your watch, it's so much more versatile plus it looks better with red!

If anything save up and get a GMTc or Sub even

scl6118 · 10 December 2011, 01:47 PM

The ceramic is superior to the old GMT! That being said, I like the old ones too and would rather have both. If you can only have one, get the ceramic!

JUSTROLEXES · 10 December 2011, 01:55 PM

I wouldn't, I would save a get a GMT II C.
If you sell your GMT 16710 today it's getting harder to replace it but If you wait and save you can always get the gmt ii C
