Hello everyone,

Just wanted to get your opinions: Steel or Steel and Gold for a GMT II to be worn as an everyday watch?

Welcome to TRF, Okie.

Personally, I love the TT version more.....but if it's on a daily basis you're looking for, get the SS model.

Good luck either way - JJ

You may be correct. But Gold, oh how the whole world longs for it!! Rolex gold that is.

Any noble metal is to die for.....especially Rolex gold!!

okie · 12 December 2007, 11:55 AM

Does the gold scratch easier that steel during everyday wear with suit and tie?

Yes, it would....but so would the polished steel on the SS bracelet (centre polished links)!!

I've worn a TT Sub for years as my daily piece.. A TT GMT wouldn't be far off.

I have only just recently semi-retired it, probably because I'm retired now myself, and don't have a big office with a bunch of meetings to go to any more..

I find the SS models very comfortable and a bit less "formal" you might say..

I think it's a personal decision....I would not feel comfortable in solid gold, but the TT suits me just fine..

okie · 12 December 2007, 12:04 PM

Very, very nice timepiece.

Black is Beautiful, too.

i have the gmtii-c tt and love it. for me, the ss is just too bland.

Scooby · 12 December 2007, 01:26 PM

I've worn the TT every day since I got it. Whatever floats your boat. They both look great.

stewie · 12 December 2007, 02:14 PM

its a personal choice... i wear my kermit more than I wear my 18k yg daytona, but its there in the safe for any day I want a little more "flash".

billykmd · 12 December 2007, 02:17 PM

I wear my TT everday. It's not too flashy, but I do sometimes worry about scratching the gold. I guess it comes down to your preference.

SeaGoer · 12 December 2007, 05:06 PM

As everybody has allready stated the choice of SS vs. TT for a daily watch is quite personal.
I favor the TTs and I wear mine all day long, each and every day. I do find that the gold on the TT's gives the watch a more complete look;IMHO opinion ofcourse!

vukotab · 12 December 2007, 09:16 PM

If money is not an issue,then go for TT.

marshallr47 · 12 December 2007, 11:50 PM

The TT is beautiful. What is your line of work. If it's rugged stuff then maybe the SS. If it's an office environment then the TT.

Iceman · 13 December 2007, 12:03 AM

I wear my TT GMTII-C on a daily basis. IMHO, juz the right amount of 'bling' to be noticed but definitely not 'in your face' type of loudness.

Enjoy!

bran · 13 December 2007, 12:06 AM

I have the SS and TT GMT IIc and find myself going to the SS more often; however, I think the TT is a better looking watch. Go figure. The gold does scratch easier. The clasp on my TT has gotten a few desk jockey scratches.

Which ever one you should choose you will be happy with.

lithium · 13 December 2007, 01:47 AM

hey guy can share what the price like for the GMT tt or ss im new thanks

BigHat · 13 December 2007, 02:54 AM

The SS has many merits, but I'm thinking that in your situation the TT maybe the best option. SS is more a tool watch, but a TT works better as a casual and semi-dress watch in my view.

Texsubmariner · 13 December 2007, 04:16 AM

I like the SS more, I think it is more versatile with wardrobes and occasions. Of course, TT is less common and stands out more.

SPACE-DWELLER · 13 December 2007, 11:24 PM

For an everyday beater I'd prefer a STEEL Rolex every time!

frostie · 13 December 2007, 11:26 PM

With the price of the TT gmt master C here in greece you would prefer SS trust me

GR8YT · 13 December 2007, 11:36 PM

If your afraid of scratshes, get an old GMT II or an Explorer II. Otherwise get a GMT IIc ss!
