  • Ownning two versions of the same model. Will You?

    Hi, just want to gather the opinions of fellow forumers.

    Will any of you buy two Sport Rolexes with the same models but with different versions. i.e. a TT and a SS version.

    I own a GMT IIC TT, thinking of buying a SS version due to its versatilities and can be used as a daily beater.

    Of cause a Sub SS will be nice, but compares with GMT, I like GMT better.

    Regards...

    For the same model I'd go for its ss and fullgold version
    TT is neither here nor there
    Just my personal preference

        It all depends on how much you like them and how deep your pocket. If you have deep pockets just get every version there is! What other watches do you have? It is always good to have some variety.

          I don't know if it's just me or what but the tt & ss model of the GMT-IIC do not look very distinctive. I think this is partly due to the design of this model - the polished centre links. Somehow, whenever I come across either of this model outside, it often takes me a while to differentiate if that GMT-IIC on that person's wrist is a tt/ss model. So for this model in particular, I'll probably just have one. And personally I will choose the tt version

            I reckon your choices! I own both 116613LB and 116610LV. Actually the reasons why I own both is to complete the 3 different coloured bezels. Blue - 116613LB, Black - 116713LN and Green - 116610LV. In any case, I feel it's alright to own different models or versions of same design. In fact, alot of manufacturers do that in order to entice new buyers. For instance, AP ROO. There are so many different versions, yet no one seems to be bored.

            Lastly, GMT is always a good and handy model. Though I own 116713LN, I feel 116710LN is always a versatile and classic model. You own regret.

                        Why not bro..... for me though the S/S Version is just plain sexy, TT over rated...... ANY Full Yellow Gold is just so damn gangsta it;s unwearable.... YOU'LL BE SCARED to wear it in public.

                              Thanks guys, I appreciated those that give out their opinions on my choices here. I will stop wearing my GMT TT starting tomorrow untill I got myself a SS version.

                              I saw the my GMT TT attracked too many scratches than my likings. I will keep it in the safe and only use it for dinner wear when I wear long sleeves shirts.
