I think the most beautiful GMT ever made is the TT CHNR, the color scheme on that one is just awesome.

Agree.

A few nights ago while watching TV - my wife out of the blue - turns to me and said that watch you have on is absolutely gorgeous with its color combination.

126711CHNR (It's 1/2 SS, so it sort of works in response to your question.)

If I had to pick just SS, I'd go with the BLRO. I previously owned the 116710BLNR and it didn't stick.

BLRO - it is the original, historic, GMT reference. It has always been, and will forever be, the iconic GMT watch.

116710LN I foolishly sold this one several years ago. It is now discontinued and selling at a premium I am unwilling to pay.

For 6 digit, hands down it's the 116710LN. Fell in love the first time I saw it.

I just wish it had a red GMT hand instead of the green.

Yep, this is my daily currently. For me, it provides the same sort of flexibility that you get with a black Sub, while avoiding the fate of being the same watch everyone else at the office has. It also has a more useful complication/bezel (to me at least; some might disagree). And the green GMT hand and text is just perfect - though I'm a bit biased as it's my favorite color.

I do go back and forth about whether I'd prefer the center links to be polished or not; in practice they are much more susceptible to visible scratches/wear, but aesthetically I think they succeed at adding a touch of class and dressiness that further cements the flexibility of the watch across attires and occasions.
