I have never ever considered a two tone but I have to say, your new GMT looks fantastic Wayne. Great video, as always. Enjoy it!

Just 2 weeks ago I bought my very first two-tone watch and it's exactly the same piece. I'd never given a 2nd look at two-tones before but on the wrist it really is stunning!! I'm very happy with it, although I can confirm that I have managed to pick up some light scratches on the centre gold area of the clasp already :-)
I guess it's going to pick up scratches more, but that sometimes that gives it a nicer appearance and less "bling" :)
If anyone has the heads on on a pre owned please do let me know 👍
Well thanks to W44NNE and this thread I have now reserved a TT model to be picked up on Saturday :-)
I tossed and turned between the black faced Sub or GMT.......Settled for a 2012 ceramic Sub some cash and my 16610 LV.
It was touch and go as to which one to go for the GMT was cheaper but I just wasn't sure if I'd get bored and find it a little too busy. Maybe the Sub is a little more under the radar
They are both such nice watches it was a hard desision 👍
I had a 2014 sunburst dial 116613 in 2015, sold it after about 10 months as I needed to free up some cash for a project. One of the only watches I regret selling to be honest and I will likely buy another once I decide to sell my 16610.
Love the two tone Sub/GMT.
What I don`t like about the latest Rolex bimetals is the gold through the clasp. Sure, it looks nice, but it always gets marked/scratched. Back in the old days they used steel clasps which were far more resilient.
The good thing about gold is the ease of polishing. Fine scratches come out with a rouge cloth, and light polishing will take the sharpness of the scratches so they don`t show. The lustre of the gold tends to disguise the scarthes too, so a wipe with a rouge cloth or Cape Cod will get the watch sparkling again. Look under a glass and you'll still see marks, but somehow the gold seems to look better than polished steel with scratches.
Can`t beat a bit of proper gold, and it HAS to be yellow.

I love the TT subs with the blue dials. I've seen one I really like the look of but have no idea what I should be paying for it. Its a 2003, 16613 mint full set, last serviced 5 years ago and is a private sale. At £5.9k my sense is its a little pricey but I have no idea what a fair price would be. Can anyone help?
Thanks gents I will try to get some pictures up as soon as, although its not being picked up till late Saturday :)
I am going black face, although the blue is really a stunning watch its not for me.
Funny enough when I was looking at the pre ceramic 16613 the gold through the clasp was a must for me, but I did think the same about stainless steel clasps, less scratching to be done :) It just somehow didn't sit right with me. I will try not to get too OCD with the bracelet they do look better when slightly worn in anyway![]()
Great review especially if it's your first, really difficult thing to put together I bet.
Not really been a fan of two-tone but got to say that's a real stunner! enjoy.
Picked this up on Saturday love it

I did go backwards between the Sub and GMT but in the end the Sub win out :) IMG_1069.JPG

The TT`s have really grown on me recently. I tried a Blue sub on and wow, equally as impressive as my Hulk
