Personally I like the SS better. The only TT I like is the bluesy sub.
I would recommend getting a pre-owned TT since the price will be close to a new SS version. Good Luck.

Whatever you choose you cant go wrong but since you already have an SS rolex i think that you should go for something more formal and exlusive and add a bit of color to your collection by choosing the TT GMT II C
On the other hand gold scratches easier but if scratches are the least of your concerns then go for it

As I get older I am drawn more towards yellow and rose gold both of which I never cared for.

If you have the money, and like the look of it, go for the TT. Stunning looking watch.

They are both good looking watches, and I think everyone will agree with that...........BUT, I am not a fan of yellow gold, especially on my watches. SS is my vote every time.

You can't go wrong either way, but I went this way.

I really love the TT version of the new GMT II-C. The only thing about the SS version that I am not too fond of is the polished center links. Its too shiny for a sports watch IMHO.

I have the SS because that is more my style but I will say if you like the TT it is by far the nicest TT watch I have seen. Either way.......
