Hi guys.

I wisited my dealer today, as I forgot the Submariner booklet there last week when I got the LV.

He mentioned he would be getting a Ceramic GMT master soon, LNIB 10 days old!

I feel somewhat tempted to flip the Fat lady 16760 GMT master 2 that I have for the Ceramic GMT...

I shouldn't, because I just received bezel inserts from "Greekbum" and left the watch to have the sapphire changed today (because of a 1mm crack on the edge of the glass). So I have spent about 400 euros on the watch these two weeks...

Should you flip? I'm sitting on a wonderful 1988 R-serial Fat lady.

DWdrummer · 19 February 2010, 02:11 AM

I personally wouldn't. If only for the fact the GMT IIc while beautiful in its own right is a current production model.

The Fat Lady will never be made again. I would keep it and save up for the GMT IIc if it were my choice.

ersnyder · 19 February 2010, 02:13 AM

Keep the 88 and save up for the IIc.

ParisDakarBmw · 19 February 2010, 02:15 AM

Keep the 16760, and save up for the other.

Ozzie · 19 February 2010, 02:45 AM

Don't do it!

2005rivers · 19 February 2010, 02:48 AM

I agree with above, keep it, and save for gmt iic(It is an awsome watch)

sakuraba · 19 February 2010, 02:51 AM

I wouldn't do it!

Dr.B · 19 February 2010, 02:52 AM

Get what you like.

bayerische · 19 February 2010, 03:10 AM

Some good advise. Hmmm, Well I guess I have to check if the Ceramic sings to me... Best would be to keep both, but I'm having a hard time explaining these things to my wife...

even though me buying a watch doesn't interfere in anyway with our life.

sea-dweller · 19 February 2010, 03:11 AM

I wouldn't. I would keep the 16760 and also buy the GMT II C...

The new model does not blow my skirt up and I would never trade my Pepsi for one

mpkRolex · 19 February 2010, 04:57 AM

I would keep the 88 and consider buying the IIC if I could afford..

bounce · 19 February 2010, 04:58 AM

I have owned the GMT IIc, nice watch but I would not flip the Fat Lady for it.

Gerardus · 19 February 2010, 05:19 AM

Quoting myself, as i mixed "Greekbum" and "Tempoking".

I bought the bezel inserts from "Tempoking", not "Greekbum". Sorry for the mistake.
