Would you rather have a SS GMTIIc or new SDDS?

If given the choice, without regard to cost or wait list, what would you rather have? A GMT II Ceramic SS or the new Deep Sea Sea Dweller?

I'll take the GMT, since it is more practical (a hell of a lot more!), and it fits my wrist much better.

My favorite watch is the one that I have on my wrist right now. So I have to go with the GMT!

GMT-IIC. Much more useful and attractive watch. Of course, one would have to see the SDDS in the flesh to be sure but based on the pics thus far...

I'd go for the sea bass and get a four hand watch when the expy II is upgraded.

SDD for me. But if a "coke" or "pepsi" were available i'd rethink.

I voted for the SDDS, however if the 12800 on the SDDS turns out to be the price - then I would go with the GMT IIc

My thoughts exactly. If the price is over the top I'll stick with the SS GMT IIc.
