Going against the grain here Dino but if I were you I would flip it , the tt is more your style , if you dont like it you can always flip back . One word of caution beware the PCLs in gold really scratch easy but after a while you do get used to them .

Lucky to have both.

I would go for the TTc every day of the week.
It is the one I always seem to choose for the weekend if I am in two minds.

Dino, I would NOT flip the LVc cause it's always the watches you flip you miss the most,
Work hard and save for the TT IIc nothing better than a watch you've saved hard for

I am all for the IIc. HOWEVER, I would not trade that Sub in for a TT. It's my opinion, nothing based on fact. I dislike TT and YG in general, so I would keep the Sub and hold out for funds for a GMT -- and I'd get SS, not a mix or a pure YG. My thoughts.

I will also plug the SS IIc for being one of the best Rolex models out there, at present. And, no, I'm not looking to sell, hehe.

Dino, do it!!! Please!!!!! That way, I won't have to see your Hulk pix, which have driven me crazy for that watch.

More seriously, the TT GMTIIc is the best TT out there, IMO, but, it's comparatively rare to be so satisfied by a watch as you have been with the LVc.....so, even though it might eventually kill my bank account, my advice is keep the Hulk (and keep posting pix ). Save for the TT GMTIIc (and maybe flip the Breitlings?).

I want your opinions as per usual! I have seen a BNIB GMTIIc bought from an AD in 2009 and hasn't been touched, unmarked in brand new condition with all stickers in place, full box and papers, just as you would expect a new watch from an AD.


I could..

- Trade my 116610LV Sub for 116713LN GMTIIc TT


The GMTIIc TT is up for £5,995 from £7,830



I will have to add a little cash for towards it, or maybe trade another one of my watches in?


Thanks for your help, it seems me wanting a TT or solid 18K Rolex is never going to end until I do it!
Keep the LV , and don't rush , the GMT II won't go anywhere!!
If its that bad then I would sell of your Breitling.
But u know Dino, just relax and enjoy ur LV ,the time will come and u will get a solid 18k Rolex, u have all the time in the world!

Good luck!

The TT GMTII c looks very tempting, however after you get it you will regret getting rid of your Sub LV c. When I bought my DJ I knew that I will never flip it for the DD that I want. I will save up to add the DD to my DJ, the DJ is too special to flip or sell.
