Neither for me either...Like the DJI though as a dress watch.

beaglehusky · 25 December 2011, 11:34 PM

Suit jacket too? Then DJII except for a black suit and a TT GMT. If no jacket, I'd go with GMT.

Datejust for a suit & tie. Submariner for everything else.

+1. Ken is right. As usual.

Feras · 26 December 2011, 03:52 AM

The new two tone dj like the one in their advertisment. If not this model then no DJ2 at all

B. Doggy · 26 December 2011, 04:11 AM

GMT is a great all around piece.

Yes I agree - somehow the bezel looks disproportionate to the dial...so to answer the OP, between the two, I'd go for the GMT IIc.

htc8p · 26 December 2011, 05:27 PM

gmt master 2 c definitely and more useful

Andad · 26 December 2011, 05:36 PM

I only wear my TTc with jeans 'cos I don't own a suit.

Son Ashley's girlfriend knows he has a small watch collection and gave him some cufflinks for Xmas.

I might buy a shirt so I can borrow them.

I took some pix earlier.

TSW · 26 December 2011, 06:13 PM

Of these two I'd say the GMT.

brownbear · 26 December 2011, 11:15 PM

OP...
just Shirt and Tie are not really "dress".
Even if you included a Blazer or Sport coat, still not really "dress".
You should be ok with either of your choices..
They both are fine watches..

munshpe · 26 December 2011, 11:25 PM

Just curious, for those who say neither make a good dress watch, what watch would you recommend?

This is very subjective and you'll get alot of different responses. Personally, I don't believe Rolex makes any real dress watches, but the closest would be the dj1 or dd1. I guess you could add the Cellini line, but I know very little about them.

gmtm2 · 27 December 2011, 02:39 AM

GMT II C, the greatest rolex ever created!! IMHO

Zed Homme · 27 December 2011, 03:01 AM

I totally agree Marco!

for a suit (not sport coat), I would say a DJ or a DD. For true formal Black tie (tux), I would was something very elegant and simple like a Celini.
That is just my opinion..
... There are those who will wear a Casio G-Shock with a suit.. Just saying..

kilyung · 27 December 2011, 04:17 AM

Another vote for DJ or DD.

Route 66 · 27 December 2011, 04:59 AM

Of the two you have listed, I'd go with the DJ II. I think the GMT IIC is more of a casual watch.

An even better choice would be the Explorer I.
