3186 GMT II, TT or SS

So what are the opinion on the new TT GMT vs the new SS GMT? WHich one do you like more? Which one is more practical in terms of looks? TT too bling? SS polished center links too bling? Which one fits / feels better on the wrist and less top heavy? Like all your opinions!

TT for sure.

I see a lot of the polished center links around and they just look funny. Like that should be a different metal......like gold for instance.

I've always worn SS. Though polished centerlinks seen to put it in a different catagory.

NO question...TT.

It looks like any other TT Rolex sports from a distance so there is no extra bling for me.

I'm in the TT camp on this one as well. Although I don't care for some of the configurations on the model in general, I tried on the 18K YG version and was blown away. A great fit and great feel. Heavy as ALL get out, though!

SS for me. Its a personal thing, I don't own/wear any yellow gold, all silver/plat/ti/ss. So The SS was an easy choice.

I have only one TT the TT is not for me but I do think that most Rolex TT look smashing. That being said SS is my choice. I am too hard on my watches I would make a TT look bad after several months. SS cleans up nice, when I retire then it will be TT all the way if Rolex still makes a TT then.

for me the only way to accept a TT rolex is if it has a blue or white dial.
Gold with black is a combination that I hate..
In fact if they decide to upgrade the TT blue sub bezel, bracelet and clasp (solid middle links with the new clasp), I think it will be one of the best watches ever made.
