Dear all, I'm having a major headache deciding on which GMTII to get, its between e TT black dial or e SS black. And it will be my first Rolex.
Some of my considerations
TT - really love e gold n black color combi but afraid that it's too flashy n end up not having much wrist time as i prob wont wear it daily
SS - nice for daily wear, but afraid i'll get bored w it too soon. (If i forgo the SS might go for the pam321).
Price diff is abt 3k but I think that's secondary for now.
The current GMT II models come in black ceramic bezel (SS version) and blue+black ceramic bezel (SS version). So, one look at it, one will know they are definitely SS version, unless modified. Now, the latest introduction of a WG version is only in red+blue ceramic bezel, thus, one glance and you'll know it's WG. Just like the blue Submariner you people call "smurf", as well as the black+red dial of the Daytona. They are their ranges WG versions.
I will not be surprised if the next GMT II model that ROLEX come out with is a red+black ceramic (aka "Coke") and in SS version, taking into consideration that historically, there were also the three color versions for the GMT II (16710) - black, "Pepsi" and "Coke" bezels. I'm not too sure about the "Root beer" model though.
Anyone knows what's the real cost of making this in white gold vs stainless steel? I don't think it is anywhere as close to the price difference between the blnr and this blro ! Rolex is making fat margins for this.
