Reply With QuoteI like the larger indices on the old one.
Out for dinner with the wife this eve and have decided that a GMT is the way to go.
The old one or the new one??
(please excuse pictures)
I like the larger indices on the old one.
Why on earth would anyone want two watches so similar? (says the man who has just reduced his Speedy Pro collection down from six to three). I really do not like the WG marker surrounds on later Rolex, so it would be the older one for me.
The older one, don't like young trendy type!
You sound like my wife!!!Originally Posted by TomGW
When I win the lottery I'm planning to buy the Bakelite as well.........
Or half a dozen speedies!!!
I much prefer what I believe is the older one. What is the age difference between them? Sorry if that is a daft question I am new to this.
Old one
Yep the older one for me too, prefer the larger plots for the lume.
Not a daft question,
One is the first watch I ever bought, 2001 model 16710.
The other is my most recent acquisition, birth year (1978) 1675.
Thanks for the info, they are both lovely. Same birth year as me too!!
definitely the old one...
I once drank a bottle of wine called 'Old Git', which carried the tagline "Be Bold, Go For The Old" and that has stuck with me ever since!
+1 for the older model
The old one looks very nice to me and I can understand why you would want more than one of these watches, very nice.
there is a strong message that it's time to get rid of the GMT master II.... and free up some cash for a new watch :)
The old one looks so much better...in pictures. ( can't say the same in the flesh as it seemed lost on my 7,2 inch wrist)
the old for me
I always tend to like the newer modern iterations but in this case the old one is miles ahead.
I probably wouldn't notice the differences unless they were side-by-side, so after some looking I've decided I prefer the older one. Might be too late for your wearing choice though!
Agree with this. And also with the general feeling of old is better than new in this case!
Go for it!
a true wis would wear both
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Its not just the larger size, its the colour, the creamy yellow of the tritium. Beautiful.
The GMT is all about colour with its blue and red bezel, in comparison the dial of the newer model looks kinda washed out.
Newer one for me, though that is a lovely 1675.
I find the older more photogenic, but I prefer the newer in the metal.
Very true!! :-)
As a Pepsi, I prefer the older GMT.
If not a Pepsi, I prefer the new GMT2C...
Old one all the way
Old, by a country mile.
You just never know when 5 or 6 times zones may be required ;)
It's just a matter of time...
The 1675, no doubt about it
I want to say keep the newer just to be contrarian but I'd be lying... The older one just looks so much better (IMHO!)
If I can help it I'll never sell either!!
You are right the creamy tritium on that watch or any old watch really adds to the character.
Both lovely but the older one has just a bit more character.
Older 1675 has the edge
I'd normally say old but I like the new however this time I say ... both :)
That's easy. The older one, of course! :-)
the older one - teh lume plots are just fantastic
Older one....better looking in every way to me
Older by a mile. Never been much of a Pepsi bezel fan - massive fan of the original Root Beer though!
Definitely the old one - hope you changed half way through the evening to see if she noticed
She doesn't even know I have two of them, she thinks they're one and the same!!Definitely the old one - hope you changed half way through the evening to see if she noticed
Ah, bless!
That is superb!! :)
As for the watches they are both stunning but the old ones character edges it for me, looks stunning in the photos.
