Which one should I keep?

sea-dweller · 11 January 2010, 02:13 AM

Gmt ii c !

ingoodtime · 11 January 2010, 02:17 AM

Tough choice. I am not an LV lover but I understand the possible future collectivity of the watch. How many years will it may take for that to happen? The GMTLLc has taken Rolex lovers by storm and has been described by many as the perfect Rolex sport watch with good looks.

Ultimately, the choice will be yours to make. Which feels better on your wrist and is versatile enough to be worn with your daily lifestyle?

kzm40 · 11 January 2010, 02:22 AM

The sub will be updated at basel, so will be the harder one to replace in the future. You could get the black bezel insert and flip between green and black.. (thats what I'd do).

Ageing Orphan · 11 January 2010, 02:22 AM

A very difficult decsion to make.

I have the GMTIIc and want the LV as my next Rolex. So I say keep both! Why are you selling?

Tools · 11 January 2010, 02:34 AM

Which ONE should you keep ???

Why on earth would you only want one....

jjbodean1970 · 11 January 2010, 02:35 AM

gmt2c gets my vote

Rscmaine · 11 January 2010, 02:39 AM

Keep the GMT and send the LV to me. I'll give it a good home, I promise.

Phil G. · 11 January 2010, 02:43 AM

Based on my 2 day ownership of a new GMT IIc, I'd say keep that one.

Keep the LV.

Swegin · 11 January 2010, 02:52 AM

You can replace the llC for years to come. The LV is already getting more scarce and the price seems to be trending up.

My 2 cents are, keep the LV and get yourself a black bezel insert for $65. As someone else pointed out, it gives you flexibility to go back and forth between black and green and IMHO gives you the perfect watch.

JPS · 11 January 2010, 02:56 AM

I've got both and as much as I think the GMT IIc is the perfect watch with all of the well considered upgrades, etc, I would keep the LV due to it more than likely being discontinued and also you cannot beat the LV for it's everyday ruggedness, something the GMT IIc does not hold up to when considering PCL's which makes the watch more dressy than the LV.

Just saw two sell on the forum classifieds for substantially less than $4k over the last few days. That doesn't seem like trending up to me.

Speed · 11 January 2010, 03:07 AM

If you must get rid of one...

Which one do you like better????

Gerardus · 11 January 2010, 03:12 AM

Flip the LV and keep the GMT2C.

Speed · 11 January 2010, 03:24 AM

The OP is long gone...

Speak to some of the dealers on this forum about their ability to obtain LVs. Also take a look at comparable prices over the last year.

My 2 cents also says the same!

The GMT Master · 11 January 2010, 04:07 AM

GMT IIc without a doubt. LVs will never be in particularly short supply.

cber7 · 11 January 2010, 04:07 AM

LV

Sub'erman · 11 January 2010, 04:12 AM

Gmt II c stays. Lv bye bye.

ASH · 11 January 2010, 04:18 AM

2c

Edward-K · 11 January 2010, 04:36 AM

i would probably keep the 2c.

Lowflight · 11 January 2010, 05:00 AM

Let me ask this, if you already had a vintage 1675, would you trade your 1680 for an LV plus the cash difference?

A1000 · 11 January 2010, 05:01 AM

Keep the LV and get a black bezel so that you can interchange.

scorpionwarrior · 11 January 2010, 05:08 AM

both great choice. but the gmt IIc is the better

faingator · 11 January 2010, 05:10 AM

GMTII-c gets my vote..

I'm with this guy... The LV is getting scarce by the minute. Add the Black bezel and you'll have two watches!
