Options for first Rolex, 116622 Yacht-master or 16710 GMT?

I picked this one up on Friday from my AD...it was a clear choice as my next watch - when looking at it in the case next to everything else- it practically JUMPED out! The blue dial is stunning.

Both the watches are excellent go for any one you wont end in Regret for sure. Personally i have 116622 and am loving the presence of this luxury watch around me..

I like the blue dial the best, as I do want a blue dial watch, and the timing bezel would probably be more useful than a second time zone. On the other hand, the GMT is very classic and what I was brought up thinking "success" means, as a few bosses had it when I was a teen.

Which is more versatile? I wear camo for my job and will wear the watch daily, dress relatively relaxed with button downs, jeans and flip flops when off duty. The other pro to the GMT is they seem to go for sub $6k and the yacht-masters go for around $8.5k. But I really like that blue dial! And not sure if I want the "newer" and most recent update for my first.

At the least use this as an excuse to post pics of both beautiful watches!!!

I'm also starting to fall for the 116610LV... would go great with the camo...! No wonder this becomes a disease, I'm sure I will end up with all three one day, but the first is the biggest so want it to be right!

The 16710 is a classic but so often imitated. I'm leaning towards the YM. If it was 40-42 mm it would have been my first.
