Is it only me who think this is a good idea?

When I got my GMT IIc it was a close tie between the YM SS/plat. and the GMT. I loved the platinium bessel, platinium dial and red hand on the YM, but I just couldn't get passed all the upgrades of the GMT IIc.

So: What if Rolex released an new version of the GMT IIc with a platinium dial, platinium bessel and a red 24 hour hand? Any takers?

Probably not for me, I would have to see it to form an honest opinion

Cannot see that as a upgrade it will be the same movement case the only upgrade would be the platinium metal.And that you would pay a premium price for, and IMHO thats not a upgrade, only a watch thats more expencive
