Yacht-Master unless you work around magnets then the Milguas, but both are nice.

it may be a toss up in my book, have you considered the 116300 DJ2? If you like the look of the milgauss its a little more practical with the date

I vote for the Milgauss, only because I prefer the platinum dialed YM!

Considered the blue-dial Daytona? Doesn't suffer from an over-sized bezel or a lightening bolt second hand.

Milgauss , PCL's goes better with it. Plus you already have a GMT master, the Milgauss brings something different to your collection. The only drawback is the date,
Good luck !

A tough call John, and one that you'd need to see both side by side on and off the wrist...
Neither would be a bad choice really, but I'd probably sway towards the YM just because of the case shape. I much prefer the crown guards shape to the no guards look.
Good luck on that dilemma John, and make sure to bring it along to the SYD GTG in Jan!!

I agree with Sleddog that it would come down to trying them on the wrist and comparing them side by side. My vote leans Milgauss but I have yet to try it on. I like the YM also.

If SS blue dial, the best in the range, IMHO, is the DJII with sticks.

Cru, I checked this and the DJ2 and YM blue are the same colour or very very similar. Both stunning, just depends how you like it packaged.
