Rolex TT cGMT vs. Sub (Z series) TT in blue

b/w two options:
1. Newer two tone GMT Master.
2. Z series blue two tone submariner.

Z series is very elegant. Newer GMT is beautiful but look busy. thoughts??

I chose the TT. By late model GMT I assume ceramic? Both are great, so it would be down to new v old and case design. The latter influenced my decision.

A pretty big price difference in those peices. Why don't you consider the TT blue SubC? I'd pic up the GMTIIc TT of the 2 choices but I'd pic a SubC bluesy for the price of the GMTc TT.

thanks.

Thanks, I agree price differential is huge so I am also inclined to buy Blue Sub instead despite my love for GMT IIc.

I would pick up bluesy and while your at it buy an extra bracelett from RSC because 10 years from now when it is stretched due to the hollow links you would have wished you followed my advice due to the price increase of a new bracelett 10 years from now.

I think around $4k. Just save your money and if it ever needs repair send it to Michael young. It won't happen for a very long time. Even longer if you clean your watch weekly.

No you got a Z serial blue dial sub, Rolex have never made a series of any watch.And what a Z serial means is that the case was stamped sometime between May 2006 and July 2007.
