Shirt and tie almost everyday. Which one would you take? Datejust II vs GMT IIC ?

thanks,

The Joker · 25 December 2011, 10:10 AM

Gmt iic

Speed · 25 December 2011, 10:11 AM

Not a fan of the Datejust II. Like the original for dress though.

Arthur Daley · 25 December 2011, 10:12 AM

Datejust would probably be considered dressier by most, but as really only Rolex's sport models "speak" to me, I'd have to say GMT IIc.

jldc · 25 December 2011, 10:12 AM

The DJII is dressier. IMO both are appropriate for nearly every social situation. Certainly both go well with a suit and tie.

The GMT goes better with jeans/shorts when you're not at work, but I have no problems with a DJ then either.

Mon wed fri gmt, tue thurs sat dj.

mjclark32 · 25 December 2011, 10:20 AM

If you travel gmt for sure, otherwise dj II IMO. Congrats either way!

kilyung · 25 December 2011, 10:20 AM

Honestly neither with tie but GMTc between the two.

JustABreathAway · 25 December 2011, 10:24 AM

I do like the GMTIIc of the 2, although a TT YG SS DJII with black face and Romans looks stunning

GMT for sure. DJ2 has weird proportions imho.

jizeal · 25 December 2011, 10:55 AM

Out of the 2 you have listed, I would go with the GMT II C. My first choice that isn't listed would be a DD II.

threemonkeys · 25 December 2011, 11:11 AM

GMT. I wear mine with a suit.

Maxfli · 25 December 2011, 12:09 PM

GMT only because I prefer sport watches, but either would be an excellent choice.

Art 1 · 25 December 2011, 12:18 PM

Neither for a dress watch, for me.

Mickey® · 25 December 2011, 12:20 PM

Between those 2....
GMTII

skyedog · 25 December 2011, 12:22 PM

Gmt IIC is my choice... Never like the DJ II....

Gharddog03 · 25 December 2011, 12:30 PM

Gmt.

baybombers · 25 December 2011, 01:10 PM

I'm in the investment industry and wear a suit daily and think my DJ II fits the bill.

liptonnr · 25 December 2011, 03:14 PM

DJ II! Never can go wrong!

scl6118 · 25 December 2011, 03:45 PM

Even though I own a GMT IIC, I would have to say the DJII, it's dressier.

FeelingTheBlues · 25 December 2011, 04:53 PM

Both of them would look great with a suit but for a dress watch I'd go with the DJ-II and I might add that TT looks better than SS/WG for that purpose to me.

Chipmunk · 25 December 2011, 05:00 PM

TT GMTIIC gets my vote. Good luck!

Zed Homme · 25 December 2011, 05:09 PM

I don't really care for either one of those with a suit. But to each his own.

I have both watches, but I would agree with Chris.

Chris B · 25 December 2011, 08:57 PM

They're your watches, wear what you like (or both) with a smile

Gundam · 25 December 2011, 09:10 PM

It's interesting that Rolex's Cellini line is completely overlooked when it comes to dress watches, even on a Rolex fan forum.
