I would go for the GMT cII TT though.... and probably eye a SS 16710 if I am you.. but I recall you mentioning you are not into TT... Then go for the GMT cII in SS.

An exquisite timepiece, brings timeless memories and precious moments...
bro, GMT cII would be brand new... But u can get 16710 still brand new in Singapore??
Will yr 16710 be a m-series with 3186 movement or 3185? Again-, this would make a difference in the $$ i m willing to pay...
I will go for the GMT II 16710, if it 3186 movement, as it is a discontinued product with latest movement. GMT IIc is new now will be a long way before new design comes out. And also, individual preference lah.
Depends on your mindset... If you are in a collector mode, I'd say the GMT II... We know for a fact that they have been discontinued. It is even more collectible if it is a M serial with 3186.
On the other hand, GMT IIc is new. And I believe prices will stabilize (might even drop a little!) over time (look at the Sub LVs when they first appeared and look at their prices now). I also don't think Rolex will discontinue the IIc anytime soon. I am sure you can get the IIc even a year later with relative ease.
Having said that, choose with your heart. No point buying and then later regret. As some bros kindly suggested, buy both! That will solve your dilemma!
Time is too precious to be measured by a cheap watch...
