That is just too much watch for my eyes to see at one time...hehe

The white Gold one looks like steel so It can be played down a bit. Isn't there something indicative to it being white gold that a savy rolex man would know?

oh and kilyung, is there any reason why you didn't go with the green face?

I like the Green Face as well

oh, while looking at the ROlex Ebrouchure for the GMT II I did not see the white gold one there...?

Yes the 116619LB can definitely be worn nondescript. The blue bezel and dial give it away as WG to anyone in the know.

The green dial 116718 is nice but I wanted something that matched my wardrobe a little better.

There are no WG GMTIIc models except the bedazzled versions.

If you are leaning towards the GMT II, all I can tell you is that you won't be sorry. You can wear them for all occasions and not feel over or under dressed. They are very comfortable to wear as well. Good luck with your selection and by all means consider the sellers on this forum.

Hi thanks for chiming in. Was curious as to your reason why you use the ExpII more often than your GMTII. Is it because of comfort?

The EXpII, I heard sits a little lower on the wrist, but I also hear the GMT sits little lower on the wrist thatn the Sub-c...?

This is good advice. Getting a gold model will most certainly be wearable for the rest of your life and getting steel models down the road will be easier than gold models down the road.

I love wearing gold, I'd recommend you save up more and go gold sub or gmt

The SubC has a thicker, more pronounced, caseback due to deeper depth rating.
