I'm getting closer to pull the trigger on one of these puppies. I only want one gold watch in the collection so there will have to be a choice.

The 116718 GMT is so wonderfully sporty and with a great weight/heft on the wrist, but the DD President, especially with a silver stick dial IMO, is so classy and one that you wear wear to anything.

What say you?

kcmo · 1 May 2012, 06:13 AM

DD is a classic in it's own right.....a legend. I'd go that route!

brian8121 · 1 May 2012, 06:13 AM

I love the GMT's functionality but I would go with the DD in this case (and follow that up with a SS GMT

)

WhatTheDeuce · 1 May 2012, 06:15 AM

Wow, such a tough call, but I voted DD.

bardm · 1 May 2012, 06:20 AM

Between the two in your pictures I would go with the GMT.

psv · 1 May 2012, 06:26 AM

Yeah, don't stare to hard on the particular Day-Date photo, I didn't find exactly the photo I was looking for.

petesjag · 1 May 2012, 06:28 AM

I will use my 2000th post to convince you that the gold gmt 116718 is an awsome piece to own. If you are a sporty guy then the gmt fits the bill perfectly. It's weight, sporty looks and ohh that wonderful gold color togather with the sleek ceramic bezel all work togather to create one incredable timepiece!!!!

Happy 2,000th post, Pete! :-)

Worst part, I even found a mint G-series green dial one for sale! The ultimate in Rolex decadence

A.Sharp · 1 May 2012, 06:31 AM

I would do the GMT because I like to wear my watches all of the time. If it was a time piece for just special occasions or dinner etc, I would def go for DD.

drockadam · 1 May 2012, 06:31 AM

Go for the Day-Date! All though, the picture that you posted of a DD, has a 18K Oyster Bracelet, and not the President bracelet.

Here's a picture of the Day-Date with the correct "President" bracelet.

mbuckley · 1 May 2012, 06:34 AM

Both beautiful watches---you can't make a bad choice---I like the DD!

FremStar · 1 May 2012, 06:41 AM

Patrick! Check my Avatar, now look at these pics, look at your first pic in post one! You're in a state of Nirvana! 40mm now, 36mm later!

Puffy · 1 May 2012, 06:43 AM

GMT for you my friend...

piper · 1 May 2012, 06:51 AM

You got to do both!

capote · 1 May 2012, 07:01 AM

DD36, no doubt in my mind. Classic piece and its made for gold, besides you get the stunning president bracelet.

nick c · 1 May 2012, 07:02 AM

sporty gmt gold

gwalker · 1 May 2012, 07:06 AM

GMTIIc in YG Green dial. The best looking YG watch Rolex makes IMHO.

gargamel647 · 1 May 2012, 07:13 AM

YG GMT is hands down my favorite Rolex.

TattooedGQ · 1 May 2012, 07:19 AM

I voted for the DD but the GMT in gold is completely bad-ass!

Polemic · 1 May 2012, 07:33 AM

YG GMT 2 for me.

HERITAGE82 · 1 May 2012, 07:35 AM

DD... Hands down is THE GOLD ROLEX!!!

dddrees · 1 May 2012, 07:35 AM

DD gets my vote, but I would get it with a flutted bezel and a president bracelet.

WhatTheDeuce · 1 May 2012, 07:36 AM

Maybe you should have added a "Both" option.

Even though I already voted DD, the GMT is a stunning piece...

tkc324 · 1 May 2012, 07:51 AM

For me, I would prefer the GMT2 due to its size. I think DD might be a little small for me.

Christiaan · 1 May 2012, 07:54 AM

Hard to compare because of the size difference. I voted GMT as the DD I is too small for me IMHO

nauticajoe · 1 May 2012, 07:54 AM

The DD's got my vote, Patrick.

HL65 · 1 May 2012, 07:57 AM

I would go GMT vs. DD with the Oyster bracelet. If you go DD--get the President band.

psv · 1 May 2012, 08:05 AM

well, there is always a sleeper option: 16758 rootbeer :-)
