Personally….WG w blue dial, is one of my favorite GMT’s. WG is for the satisfaction of the owner/wearer, as 99.9% of the population will never know it’s PM

IMO, when the BLRO was only available in $$$$ WG, many here stated that they just didn't care for it. Not that it was too expensive, just not that great a look. As soon as it was available for 1/4 the price in SS, there was a stampede to buy it that has never subsided. lol
I'll venture to say that many of the folks who say the WG is too heavy, the WG is softer, etc., really mean that the WG costs more than they'd like... I really like the WG blue dial GMT especially, as well as the meteorite. I think the meteorite looks much better on the GMT than the Daytona, which already has a lot going on with the dial. Of course all of the above is just my opinion.

Doesn’t have a jubilee. Also the black dial is more iconic.

I think the blue dial WG GMT looks great, but it will always be shadowed by its meteorite sibling.
WG GMT or WG Daytona is only up to you OP, depending on which complication you prefer and which watch you like more.

It is a steel Rolex bracelet on the WG case I loved wearing it that way. I have since moved on from that watch but I have thought many times getting another one for the collection. Life is short buy the watch- |

Maybe in terms of secondary market price/resale value, but the meteorite dial doesn't work for me in this reference- but the blue dial sure does!

The blue dial is stunning, I do believe it has the earlier 3186 movement too.
