Great looking watch and the TT's pretty good, too.

The SS GMT IIc turned out not to be for me, after all. Still it is a nice watch, and if you can live with the polished centre links and glossy bezel insert, I say go for it!

Hmmmmmm..........No More & Pricing data point
I succumbed to the TT GMT IIc's siren call last week. I had been searching for a replacement for the 1978 SD I recently gave to my son on his 30th birthday.
While I originally targeted a "pre-owned" TT SD, when I saw the TT GMT IIc and researched its features (read Irani's review ), I switched. I then worked the market, AD and reputable Non-AD sources. I ended up at the AD which offered a 16% discount plus its own 2-year warranty extension on an M ser no. Furthermore, he worked with me to "optimize" GA's 7% sales tax. Thought you'd like a data point. I should add that this AD had the largest inventory of Rolies I have ever seen. Furthermore, when I went in to get my bracelet sized, there in the display case was another TT GMTC IIc. I'm sure he was ready to deal but also sure he made a nice margin. Ciao |

Ed, The GMT IIc is the best of the new offering from Rolex IMHO. The maxi-dial and triplock crown among other things really put the reference over the top to me.

very good!!! And another of my favorite classic lines....
I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.

I am new to the forum and new to Rolex. I bought the GMT IIc a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. I am anxiously looking forward to additional Rolex watches as I build out a small collection. Thanks for letting me hang out on this forum. I have enjoyed it. Best to all!
