It has been a very difficult two weeks ever since i joined this forum. I went from enjoying my Y series TT Sub to trading it in for a brand new SS GMTIIc. I had 10 days from my AD to return the watch with no question asked. On day ten which is today, i took it back for a brand new TT GMTIIc. I really liked the SS but there is something special about the TT that i could not resist. I am happy and ready to relax and enjoy the watch. If the wife finds out about this transactions either i or the watch will be sleeping in the basement.

You made a perfectly good choice! The TT GMTIIC is an incredibly handsome watch

. Wear it in the best of health!
I also have the TT GMTIIC but I still desperately want the SS version, too!

kcmo · 12 June 2009, 11:27 AM

Congrats! At least you got the one you really wanted! Enjoy it!

DSJ · 12 June 2009, 11:40 AM

Welcome to TRF and congratulations on your new (second time around) Rolex!

Watchdog · 12 June 2009, 12:52 PM

Best Rolex ever made

IMHO

Colnago · 12 June 2009, 01:26 PM

I'm a SS man myself but the TT is a top watch.....personal choice on the metals but no matter how you look at it the new GMT's are certainly up there with the best Rolex has ever produced

bodybump · 12 June 2009, 01:28 PM

One of my favorite Rolex watch!!!!

Andad · 12 June 2009, 01:42 PM

Good work piom.

Bebot · 12 June 2009, 02:43 PM

Good choice. You can't really go wrong either way.

sushisummo · 12 June 2009, 02:46 PM

What about the TT version do you prefer over the SS GMT2c ?

allanofcalifornia · 13 June 2009, 03:28 PM

Congratulations!! Wear it in good health! I would tell your wife now since it's much warmer sleeping in the basement during the summer than in the winter!

I prefer the TT GMTIIc over the SS. The SS is really nice, i had it for 10 days but my heart was with the TT and now i feel much better. TT does not do it for some people, it comes down to what you like.

Let me get this straight.....you wore a brand new s/s GMTIIc for ten days then took it back for a t/t GMTIIc? Would anyone of us want to buy this s/s as new?
Who is the AD allowing this?
I do not believe that this is standard procedure.

GMTJOHNNY · 15 June 2009, 09:53 AM

Great choice and welcome to the TT club!

piom · 16 June 2009, 06:01 AM

I had it for 10 days does not mean i wore it for 10 days.

You wore it for 7?

GMTJOHNNY · 16 June 2009, 10:56 AM

BEST thing I have heard all day! The accuracy is amazing.... and so are the looks!

cocopeep · 16 June 2009, 11:06 AM

so far its my favorite watch

piom · 16 June 2009, 11:08 AM

Ok it looks like someone will be taking me to rolex court to defend every minute of the ten days i had the SS. Any rolex lawyer in the house?

lawyerwatchfan · 17 June 2009, 05:22 AM

How about some pics of your beautiful new addition including some wrist shots?

SmokeDogNeil · 17 June 2009, 10:13 AM

Congrats on ya new purchase. The GMTIIC is my favourite too.
I like all variations of the model.

Here I am ! I don't do pro-bono work !

* Understand that the stated policy of your AD would not sit well with someone that pays retail for a watch and it might have been used for 240 hours by someone else.

DARK_KNIGHT · 17 June 2009, 10:40 AM

Bad form on my part:

Congrat's on your watch. It's a looker.
