If you could get the following for exactly the same price, what would it be :-

S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic

OR

T/T Sub Bluesy 16613

Both brand new in box with papers...

EvEr34 · 20 September 2007, 01:46 AM

TT bluesy without hesitation.

Absolutely !!

Probably the S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic but only after a lot of hesitation.

roadcarver · 20 September 2007, 01:56 AM

I'm not a fan of yellow gold so makes my choice really easy. I would go for S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic!

Chris B · 20 September 2007, 02:08 AM

No contest for me, gotta be the bluey

thomas311 · 20 September 2007, 02:14 AM

GMT II ceramic for me

when i purchased my SD, my AD also had a TT GMT II C sitting under the glass. luckily it was TT, very flashy, so i went with my SS.

unknown · 20 September 2007, 02:23 AM

the new gmt ss

It's a superb watch

What exactly is the price? My answer would depend on that.

Robb · 20 September 2007, 02:25 AM

Are you saying that you can get a TT blue for $5950???

ohsixx · 20 September 2007, 02:28 AM

Bought my first Rolex one year ago this month and it was old bluesy! Paid MSRP of about $7100.

marshallr47 · 20 September 2007, 02:29 AM

Go With The Blue!!!!!

When you put it that way it makes it seem like a stupid question

You would have to have your head examined not to get the bluesy in that situation

bwalkerVintage · 20 September 2007, 02:41 AM

I'd probably get the TT Blue Sub, flip it for more (at least try to) and then go back for the ceramic SS GMT.

JJ Irani · 20 September 2007, 03:15 AM

Both brand new and at the same price? Here....let me give you a big hint!!

ohsixx · 20 September 2007, 03:16 AM

Bluesy is such a beautiful watch.

What is really neat is to be at a check out counter somewhere or standing in line at the bank and catch someone secretly stealing a peek at it.

The color just jumps out at people!

I need to work on my picture taking:

Solar · 20 September 2007, 03:37 AM

Hard to say:

Blue TT Sub: rated to 300m, one-of-a-kind gorgeous blue dial with gold accents.

SS GMT: Beautiful ceramic bezel, the new blue Parachrom hairspring (anti-magnetic and reportedly better accuracy rates), dual time zone, better clasp.

While my technical mind sees more watch for the $$ with the GMT, I think the one that would "speak" to me more is the TT Blue Sub.

Best of luck,

C

Gaijin · 20 September 2007, 05:15 AM

TT Blue.

EvEr34 · 20 September 2007, 05:16 AM

The only sollution really...is to get both.

lostsub · 20 September 2007, 05:21 AM

I would advise you to get TT Sub because of the discount you are getting. Sooner or later the GMT will have discount as well, so it really make sense to get the discounted one now since you really don't have a preference.

f16570 · 20 September 2007, 05:47 AM

SS for me, Bluesy to flash. Sorry JJ

Dead heat, I say.

Flipped the Bluey to get a Pt/SS YM.

Flipped the YM to get a Daytona.

Flipped the Daytona to get the GMT 18ct.

Rued the loss of the Daytona so got my grail Daytona.

Wife thinks I've spend about £1500 in total.

The mushroom effect, I believe it is known as.
