The new GMT II's are very sharp looking but I think that they lost some of the comfort and overall appeal that they already had with the classic design.
Trevor,
Understand and don't dispute your assessment. I was just commenting on the practicality of never discontinuing models when new ones are released. I think you'd agree, Rolex hasn't had a hard time selling all the GMT-IICs they are making.
