I miss my GMTIIc
I not so long ago swapped my GMTIIc for a Submariner LV. I know I made the right decision because stratches on the PLC's used to drive me insane! I'm currently in the market for a new YG GMTIIc or some form of DD. Sad to have let this one go!!
Here is just a few photo's of the short life my GMT had on my wrist

I was thinking about trade my GMTIIC for the SubC LV too but then changed my mind. I'm glad I didn't do it. Instead, I going to save some more to get the SubC LV.

Always REALLY think and slow yourself down when you are considering swapping a watch. Saving is the best way to do it I do think I made the best decision though!

You could always brush the PCL's on the GMT - see a few forum members do it and it's tempting me to do the same with my SS Daytona!

I fel your pain Dino. I sold my GMT II C and I really miss it.
My girlfriend was not my girlfriend at the time I sold it. She saw it at an AD and immediatley went to it. She said this is the coolest of all the men's Rolex and you should have this one. I could barely tell her that I once did but that I sold it. She looked at me like I was an idiot in disbelief. |

all a matter of personal taste, but, i'd take the Hulk each and every time over the GMTIIc.

Sometimes we have to make such painful decisions (poor us), but at least you know you made the right one.

So far, I'm not looking back on my IIc sale! To each his own. Those PCL's were killing me!

You do realize that the YG GMTIIc has PCL? Furthermore it's gold... it'll show scratches just as much.

noooo please don't say that
I did get hold of the GMTIIc instantly, the Subc LV took longer to order in. I think the Subc LV has more of a "rarity" to it, thats why I couldnt miss the opportunity to own it Quote:
Thanks guys! Dino

I about to acquire 1 myself by swapping my 116610 LN for a GMT2, advice? How much did the hairline scratch drive you crazy ? can those be polished off easily? |

Hey Dino..
Why not just buy another SS GMTC and save yourself a ton of cash over the 18k version. sounds like you really miss it.
I have an 18k GMTC but rarely wear it other than special occasions because all gold isn't too practical for me for daily wear. Beautiful watch, no doubt. Totally loving my LVC though. I know you do too. Good luck with the decision. |

GMT is beautiful and if PCL is the only thing that was bugging you, then brush it. It's easy.

Some 3 years ago, I sold my 1st GMTC to my brother after only a day or two....Always missed it until I got another GMTC recently. This time I'll not sell it.

X2. Dino, i thought about the LV and i would have had to sell my IIC and that aint gonna happen. I so desire an 18 kt yg gmt but, i'll probaby never be able to afford that. So, the ss IIC is as close to that dream as ill probably get. Am i disappointed? Well, id say i am already lucky to have a Rolex or two.

Dino,
Grab yourself another SS GMT c, you will love it even more this time around... I am on my 4th and this one is a keeper I just couldnt keep it the first 3 times but I am at almost a year on this one (I know a record for me ) and not letting it go, I love it
