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." |

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!]
