Icon17 GOLD is GOOD (or do I go SS?)

Of the naturally occurring metallic chemical elements of high economic value, question is, do I go Sub or GMT?









or SS?

Man... that is some dangerous window shopping is all I can say!! They both look great on you.

BTW - what is the reaction like when you go to try on a Rolex wearing your Patek Philippe. I bet the sales folks jump to attention.

If you don't like the lug proportion of the Sub get a YG GMTIIC

if you can afford a solid gold GMT2c, then go for it. It's a stunner.

earlier today my sister stepped off the plane wearing a yellow gold piece and i must admit it looks great!

the sales people salivate over the patek.... one said patek is the ultimate goal

Forget that...I'll take the 5167. Seriously though, I prefer the SS.

Its a tool watch. Why put a softer material in it? If I was forced to wear a Gold watch I would go white gold. Yellow sports watches just looks gaudy on me I feel and I am not a rapper. A smaller classier watch may look a bit better in yellow gold.

The GMT is a more comfortable wear on the wrist, SS or Gold, IMHO.

I found this to be the best answer --- both! Though metals flipped.

Don't worry, no one's going to force you to wear a gold watch...

A GMT watch makes slightly more sense in 18K than a diver's watch does.

Really, though... just flip a coin.
