The GMT II C has many new features. Good catch on the clasp JJ as it is an EasyLink not glidelock. In my opinion the GMT II C is a finer timepiece that has a couple of nice upgrades that you will use ie, easy link and a better designed clasp. I have personal experience with these watches (tt and solid gold) so I can speak from experience. Also IMO the new bezel is HAWT

Either one will serve your purpose.

seedgun · 16 January 2010, 01:33 PM

I have both and really, really like both of them so I'm of little help. The Coke has been to dallas RSc 3 x and every time it comes home good as new. Its a 85 or 6 and it i worth more now than when I bought it new.
Also, the coke is always the one that strangers comment on the "oh, is that a real rolex?" for some reason I've never gotten many comments on the 2c but I personally find I wear it way more than my Daytona so --- I just don't know! Sorry for the ambiguity.

The GMT-IIC has the EASY LINK Oyster bracelet.

Thank you, JJ. This was mentioned in a couple of posts above yours. The GMT IIc does not have a glidelock bracelet.

STOP Pressuring me!!! I Can't handle it any more!!!

Ok, here's the update... I DID go to the AD this afternoon, credit card at the ready. I was trying to borrow a friend's Coke to compare it to the - C at the store, then I was going to make up my mind by looking at them both then and there. Well.... I didn't meet up with my friend to get his Coke and the AD ONLY had the YG GMT - C! A very nice watch, and although I might consider the TT, there is no way I am interested in the YG....

Soooooooooo..... This is what I'm doing to myself tonight

My wife surprised me with my first Rolex this past Christmas, the TT GMT II C and I can't keep my eyes off of it. Reminds me a bit of my Marine Corps officer's sword which I earned 21 years ago, gold and stainless steel, a work of art.

Paul value is a big difference also...i go for the gmt II coke M series...

Speed · 16 January 2010, 03:40 PM

+ 1 Oscar!

TheVTCGuy · 16 January 2010, 04:06 PM

Sorry for the stupid question Oscar and Bill, but what makes the M series so valuable?

Speed · 16 January 2010, 04:39 PM

I *think* Oscar is intimating a "Stick" font GMT and/or one with the 3186 movement....If so, there has been debate as to how truly rare they are.

Is that what you meant Oscar???

tinstar · 17 January 2010, 05:11 AM

The gmt2c will be made for years to come.
The gmtII isn't being made anymore.
I have both and I now wear my coke a lot more.
Coke was my first Rolex and I love the look.

I also wear my coke to work because the gmt2c only has 24 bezel clicks while the coke has 120. Most don't care, but I use mine while flying.

If you have the chance to get a NIB coke, DO IT!
You can always get the gmt2c later.

I had to face the same problem... i chose the GMT II Coke, and i LOVE it ! I am really crazy about its classic look.

Get the one that you like best ! Both are excellent anyways.

2careless · 17 January 2010, 07:36 AM

Is it for sure that Rolex cannot re-invent a ceramic version of coke or pepsi?
They said it couldn't be done 2 years ago. How about now?
Anyone got the latest gos?
I love my pepsi, but I will definitely buy a ceramic coke.

An old shot of my pepsi.
