Considering GMTC gold
As you may have seen in my previous thread. I'm thinking of trading a few of my watches towards the GMT. I'm 45 and was wondering how does it wear and it's an all gold watch seen as somewhat ostentatious. Pic of my BLNR to get an idea.
Thanks,

Ostentatious? I think it's all about your confidence.

So many people wearing all "gold" watches these days I can't imagine it being an issue.
Chances are people already know you like watches. Secrets out Wear the watch not the other way around.

I think the gold gmt is probably the only gold rolex that is easily pulled off by many. As the above photo shows it's pure class without being to overt.
Get it !!! |

Very well said. There is just something about it that isnt really over the top for a gold watch. Hell perfect example is Fremstar. He wears that with practically anything and looks like a boss.

I wear an old man's watch a YG 80's DD and I LOVE IT and I am 43! If you are happy wearing it then you are there I say go for it, GMT is easy for a 45 YO in my opinion.

Perfect in all settings. I don't wear mine as a daily, as I prefer SS for that, but it could surely take on that role if need be.

An awesome daily wearer. The green dial version, IMHO, is the one to get. It's not only an eye candy but this watch possesses an extra dose of character and uniqueness as well. Yup, that je ne sais quoi.

A stunning watch. If you're going YG sports watch, this is the one, IMO.

You could consider waiting and buying the new blro, in WG, if having something a little more understated is more to your taste.

Other than it will be heavier it will do what ever you choose.
I've never owned a PM watch, but I do think the green dial YG and WG RED/BLUE GMTs are stupid beautiful. |

A gold GMT in black trim is pretty, pretty, pretty nice.

The GMT Master is one of the best looking sport models in yellow gold. Don't look back if you got the itch.
