Fancy a new Rolex
Just wondering what to go for here between a GMT II TT, Blusey Sub or the GMT II BLNR.
I have a DJ TT at the moment and had it for 28 years..... Any views or suggestions? |

28 years? That's great. Love to hear those kind of stories.
I'd recommend the Sub, but that's just me... |

Wow no takers for the GMT TT...is there a reason for that?
I quite like the two time zone function on the GMT... |

TT (means two tone) not two time zone? The BLNR is a GMT and has been picked above & would also be my choice, it will complement your date just nicely and has great functionality

Go with whichever one sings to you. Have you tried them on?

Yes tried the TT GMT and a buddy has the Blusey....they both look fantastic but just wondering if Rolex is gonna change the GMT line up in 2014.....
Like I said I like the functionality of the GMT....dont think I will ever get down to 300 m...not on purpose anyway. But the Blusey is one hell of a looker....! The one i would really like is the Gold GMT with the green dial.....but that is beyond reach! |

The new bluesy is a looker, but you'll get more mileage out of the BLNR I think.

BLNR gets my vote. I think it's more casual and will be able to be worn with just about anything.

I have the bluesy, and love it. The dial is so captivating. However, given you have a TT already, I would grab a BLNR. So unique and will add more diversity to your collection.

I would go TT GMT, and save up for the day when you can flip it for a 116718 green dial.
Agree with Neil, it sounds like that's the one you want. |

between those three, GMTIIc for sure. best TT sports rolex out there and, IMHO, in a different league compared to the BLNR.

Go BLNR and don't look back. You will not be disappointed. Then again, I may be biased as it it my favorite of the entire line up.

GMT II BLNR by a mile ... unless you're talking about the WG blue Sub, then that
Good luck! |
