If you have to choose between the GMT2C TT and GMT2C SS what will it be?

I own the TT but am curious what you prefer?
Good luck and

Anybody can't say SS or TT is the best.

It's a matter of choice.

I would prefer SS because I hate yellow gold and a SS Rolex has a better retail price.

The GMT2C looks good both ways. My preference, however, is SS.

I'm lucky enough to own both, if I had to keep just one it'd be the TT.

Not so long ago my watches had to go in storage & I had to make the choice of which to keep on my wrist.

No contest, the TT GMT IIc is a watch for every occasion

He could buy a $1500 gold bracelet, with more gold than the Rolex. ;-)

Stainless steel all they way>>>

I'm not a big fan of TT watches in general and I feel the premium you pay isn't worth it - would rather use the extra $$ that for another watch.

I have the TT and also like the SS GMTc.
The SS model wasn't available when I bought the TT.
If I was making the decision today I would still choose the TT.
IMO it is one of the best that Rolex makes.
