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

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

Green GMT if you go for gold.....or the new SS GMT with bi-colour bezel!

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.

A GMT watch makes slightly more sense in 18K than a diver's watch does.
Really, though... just flip a coin. |
