Just a simple yes or no will do, thank you!!

Is that genuine? The markers look miniscule.

My AD has the brown YG GMTII and it wins the award for the fugliest non-blinged out Rolex sports watch.

If the price was right, I would consider it. It's not a big deal to change the bezel and the dial.

Not the sharpest tool watch in the Rolex catalogue,must be its poorest selling Rolex sports watch,would I buy it at list price definately not.But if the price was right like Atomic said you could always change the dial and bezel.

Hi JJ
Wishing you the best for the Season. In answer to your question YES.

The photo does not do it justice, I have seen one of these in the flesh so to speak, and they look scrummy

Rockrolex · 3 December 2005, 04:50 AM

How about a simple ABSOLUTELY NOT!!

Did I make myself clear?

Earl · 3 December 2005, 05:06 AM

Ahhhhhhhhh come on guys don't make me feel bad now, I in fact have this model watch 71 vintage. It's in having the insert returned to original from a stamped gold (real not painted LoL)and serviced. Will post pictures when I get it back.

Seadweller · 3 December 2005, 05:22 AM

If I could change the bracelet,bezel,markers,dial, I might consider it.
In other words a simple NO.

s7horton · 3 December 2005, 06:01 AM

Wrong bracelet, wrong bezel, and wrong dial for my taste. Not to mention wrong sports model. I'm sure it's a great watch, if you are into that sort of style. I'll stick with the oyster.

RogerF · 3 December 2005, 06:32 AM

The only rootbeer I like comes in bottles and cans.............

baseballduck · 3 December 2005, 07:22 AM

I've seen one of those in an AD and IMO it looks pretty bad. But if the price was right you never know...........

Sam · 3 December 2005, 09:34 AM

I believe you're correct Matthew.

If the price were right then yes. Why do you ask JJ? DId you sell the TT YM and buy it?

kingblackbolt · 3 December 2005, 11:54 AM

Not a big fan of the "rusty" looking dial... of course you would never have to worry about being mugged for this thing on your wrist!
