Keep my 116719 white gold GMT w/ black dial

[Porsche91101]

Love white gold as a daily driver while the yellow gold professional model is a weekend driver. Tell me reasons why I should keep the 116719 with black dial. Some days I am irritated it looks just like a stainless steel Pepsi and there are days where I tell myself having the black dial is exclusive and more rare than the current production blue dial.

Should I sell and get a white gold Daytona or submariner? Thoughts please!

Op, the GMT in WG does look allot like the SS to someone that does not know.but when you know, you know. The PM weight is what I like the most about the piece.
Also the stealth wealth look. I would prefer the meteorite dial myself with a PM GMT

A WG Daytona with a racing dial or an WG Daytona OF with a light color dial.
The blue Sub 116619LB or the 126619LB either one. Like blue dial better also the fit of 40mm case.

Depends on what you already have in your collection.

The PM GMT you have is very nice too..

As I mentioned in another thread that you posed the same question, change the dial to blue.....if not, get the Daytona or the Sub. If you are worried that this watch you have is going to be a very collectible piece, I feel that it won't reach that desirability.

⬆️⬆️⬆️ agreed. Personally, I’d get the blue dial GMT.

+1 for the blue dial.

If you know, you know.
It's a keeper in my opinion and prefer the black over the blue dial.

I get the WG GMT and it is an impressive piece. I owned a couple and found that for what it was it was too expensive with the SS option. I sold mine and got the SS on Jubilee BLRO and think it is a better looking watch. I would look at the WG Submariner, 116619LB, Smurf, as it is more unique and no mistaking it for what it is. A WG Daytona is always nice but the flex is and always will be the SS. Just my thoughts.

Yep, I agree

As many others said, blue dial or get a Daytona. I still would go Daytona but a blue dial at a minimum.

well said and great advice. white gold is already stealthy... might as well get a piece that you automatically know it's white gold and the Smurf is best at that. the Cookie Monster or white gold Daytona get overshadowed... def not more that the black dial/WG/GMT

I absolutely love my blue dial GMT. If you can switch to blue, that would be my advice.

I can say without a doubt, the Smurf is my favorite watch and it will never leave me. I have had this since 2016.

This watch is mesmerizing. The joy it gives me is like no other .

only reason why I like black dial is because of versatile - black matches with everything. do you find the Smurf matching all outfits?

calling all Smurf owners and blue dial GMT owners on their opinion on this.

I think this is spot on. Or sell this WG GMT for the meteorite version. Obviously Rolex won’t sell you just the meteorite dial so you’ll have to seek and buy a whole new watch.

Your watch is an accessory and does not need to match the color of your shirt, and probably shouldn’t match. Aim for compliment rather than match.
