Although I love my SS GMTIIC, I am curiously interested in the new black face TT sub. It looks so clean and symmetrical. I really liked the look of the older TT blackface sub, but felt that I could not go back to the old style clasp and a different movement. Of course my dilemma will be: How much am I willing to pay to get the new one!!! Could be a deal breaker unless I get an exceptional deal.

Bebot · 1 April 2009, 07:14 AM

No way in H3LL. But that's me.

postiff · 1 April 2009, 07:16 AM

NOPE!

The GMT is just a little bit nicer than the Sub IMO.

diablojota · 1 April 2009, 07:17 AM

I wouldn't and I am a Sub guy. I just don't really like the new ones, especially the bluesy. Very disappointed.

mfer · 1 April 2009, 07:17 AM

nope

kcmo · 1 April 2009, 07:17 AM

For the TT BLACK, I would!

Mr Sandman · 1 April 2009, 07:18 AM

If I had a GMT IIc I'd keep it.

Not really, unless you really LOVE TT models. The new BLACK one is far better than the BLUE one whose colour they just haven't got right!!

Go with your heart!!

Nope. I like four hands and travel much more than I dive to 1000 feet.

I'd rather be a few thousand feet high with a topless flight attendant.

jdrolltide3838 · 1 April 2009, 08:05 AM

Not for the ceramic, thats the "it" watch at the moment. At least where I am anyway

frostie · 1 April 2009, 08:13 AM

I just can't get enough of the TT SUB C

It is desperately good looking

And to answer your question : I wouldnt sell my GMT II C for the TT Sub C because my GMT II C was my first expensive watch

I'd rather save money than sell my GMT II C

seantk · 1 April 2009, 10:08 AM

I would consider it. But I would really like to see the TT Sub "c" in person before I commit

Never, never, never!

hflee55 · 1 April 2009, 10:16 AM

nope but i will save up for the new TT sub.

JohnKC · 1 April 2009, 01:39 PM

I completely agree. The GMT IIc was my first expensive watch also. Would not trade it in and I love the versatility of the SS. I think the new TT Sub looks stunning and would be a nice complement to the SS GMTIIc.

tubojunk · 1 April 2009, 02:30 PM

If you have the funds to do it and love the watch. I wouldn't be surprised if new the new subs retailed around 10.5k+ so you would be looking at at least a 5k upgrade if you were to trade.

Is there any sexy shark at 1000 feet?

K-R · 1 April 2009, 04:34 PM

No way I will swap GMT IIc with the black Sub TT. The GMT bazel is nicer than Sub IMO. Or maybe I am the only one who like lots of number on the bazel.

Singslinger · 1 April 2009, 05:56 PM

Yes I would - but only for the new TT Black Sub, not Blue.

Timber Loftis · 1 April 2009, 05:59 PM

Moneywise, it's probably a smart deal. But I'd try to flip immediately, take the profit, and get the IIc again -- it's a better watch.

bardm · 1 April 2009, 08:40 PM

No way!

The GMT IIc is the new sub + an extra hand IMHO. I guess the promotional pictures allways looks a little better than the real thing.

Try both on and compare them. I guess you would agree that the GMT has the upper hand.

sql · 1 April 2009, 08:48 PM

Nope, never!

Nakow · 1 April 2009, 09:35 PM

To be very honest ,GMT IIc is the hottest among the Rolex line so far ,which infact knocked out the Sub date and the Daytona .It is just my personal opinion!

Art 1 · 2 April 2009, 06:54 AM

I, would not.

SirLoki · 2 April 2009, 07:12 AM

no way, i personally would not trade a gmtii for any submariner of the same year.

The blue on the all gold new Subs I've seen in Tokyo looks pretty good to me. It seems darker than the WG Sub's blue. It could be an illusion, but if the TTs that actually hit the market have the same color, I might get one. I like the matte finish of the dial.
