Icon4 Post your picture of GMT II in Yellow Gold

I know its a long shot, but I would like to see one of these babies in real life rather than from a full page pullout

A Word of Warning.........



Sometimes a "grail" watch is better in your imagination when you still want it. After owning a hyper expensive watch like this for a while, it becomes just another watch.

Mine, too, is sold and gone. Another deposed "grail" bites the dust.

Interesting comment about the imagination. I've always considered the gold GMT with the green dial as a "grail" piece. But, I was in an AD that had one and when I slipped it on, I was hugely disappointed. There was nothing about it that I liked on me! Funny how that works. I still like the pics of it but no longer a grail, "just another watch."

That was a Beauty Larry... I can not wait to put my hands on one of those again... I just can not find the right deal...I sold it at a very low price and can not replace it now

I love the all gold GMTIIC. I am really debating whether I should forego the SS version and wait for an all gold to pop up.

One of my grails for sure.

I am not much into modern Rolex but I have to admit a friend of mine let me borrow his for a week and it looked and felt very nice.

they certainly look good....I guess if you're going to go all gold then this is certainly the one in Yellow...but I just can't get my head around it..I still think I'd go the All White Gold Sub (blue).....feels fantastic on..and I like it's subtlety....

[may I just add that the All Gold GMT2c is freeking stunning.....love the pics!]
