Triple Treat....If you owned.........
Hi Guys,

If you owned a stainless steel black dialled Daytona and a Tu-Tone blue dialled Submariner, which 18K Gold Rolex Sports model would you buy to complete the set?

I'm thinking GMT2 Black dial.

Thoughts?

Bob.

I'm thinking what you're thinking, the GMT2 and I prefer the black dial too.

You maximise your variety with a different model to the Daytona and Sub, and I think the gold GMT is one of the best looking gold Rolex watches anyway.

116718, I'd give the green dial some consideration too

I like that trio! I myself am aiming to get a trio similar one day (one SS, one TT, one YG).

Yeah you are pretty spot on. I'm not interested in many precious metal watches but the 18K GMTII is outstanding in either dial.
