Buy the one you think is the most beautiful! If you feel you can't wear it daily, buy a daily wearer first! IMO it's not that difficult. YOU have to decide what you like best. Don't let any of us fool you!

almost any rolex would fit, maybe except the deepsea.
i'd consider a milgauss. all three versions are stunning and they are a good compromise between sporty and dressy and work with both your office and weekend attire. btw if you have the funds for a tt version you might also consider a datejust and an ss sport rolex which is the best combo by far IMO.

It's interesting to see the suggestions of the milgaus as I was immediately thinking that way before i saw the choices you had selected at the end of your post. IMHO, the Milgaus suits your situation best.
Witht hat said, I am a GMT fan and my 116713 TT GMTIIC is my favorite (alright, along with the White Daytona). You are at an age where, at least in the USA, where gold is not as popular as silver (or SS) for that matter. Any of the four choices you selected will be a great watch but all are sports models - keep that in mind. In most people's minds, the sports models, especially the subs ARE Rolex. With all of this said, get the one that speaks to you. Get the one that "wows" you. YOU are paying for it and YOU will be wearing it. Happy hunting! |

TT gmtc or a SS gmtc... versatile watch, has the pcl for the dressier occasions and then sportiness for the casual side.

Thank you all for the insight and it will definitely help.
If you had to choose between: "trading existing in+cash" for a newer/fancy rolex and buying a cheap watch for grocery shopping. OR buying a older model (which is cheaper) and keeping both...One for flash one for daily duty. Which would you do and why? Last edited by newguycantdecide; 16 July 2011 at 09:50 AM..

I think I will go for the GMT TT. I'm not sure how I feel about the green marker, I dont have any green clothing mosty blue/grey/black. Does it stand out?
Maybe I should go with the TT Sub? Anyone have thoughts there? http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/.../DSC_00451.jpg Herm... |

You have narrowed it down to two watches, buy the best deal first and save for the other. You are going to want both. You will not be satisfied with your first choice. There will always be a third and more, it is a disease with no cure.
