So right now I'm contemplating my next purchase and at the moment I'm on the fence between one of 4 references:

Milgauss Z-Blue
GMT Master II 116710BLNR
GMT Master II 116713LN
Yatchmaster 116622

What are the thought of those of you in the TRF community?

Stevec14 · 5 February 2018, 06:20 AM

What else have you got?

Without knowing, I’d go BLNR but if you have other steel refs maybe a change up with a TT is in order.....

Wcdhtwn · 5 February 2018, 06:31 AM

Without knowing what you may have already...

Option 1:
1. YM Blue
2. BLNR

Option 2:
1. BLNR
2. YM Rhodium

I'm not a TT fan and can't get into Milgausses.

RickRolexed · 5 February 2018, 06:36 AM

I'd personally go for and did get the BLNR as it looks the best to me. However my gf thinks my Milgauss Blue Z looks better, while I do think its good looking but not as nice as the blnr.

1) BLNR
2) Milgauss Blue Z
3) Yatchmaster 116622
4) GMT Master II 116713LN - I personally dislike two tone

In the collection right now I have:

Speedmaster 3575.20
Panerai PAM005

I’d go YM blue given that. Change in colour will be good from the 2 black face watches. Have you thought about a LVC?

zaratewl · 5 February 2018, 06:47 AM

The Speedmaster 3575.20 is a white face with blue hands and indices.

I’d go BLNR from your choices.

Michigan_State · 5 February 2018, 06:57 AM

BLNR. Yes, lot‘s of hype, but definitely THE pick from your list.

joli160 · 5 February 2018, 07:01 AM

116713LN oozes class and style, the best TT ever made imho

tig00s1783 · 5 February 2018, 07:28 AM

I would go BLNR. You can’t go wrong

watchwatcher · 5 February 2018, 07:30 AM

BLNR, hands down.

AK797 · 5 February 2018, 09:06 AM

GMT TT, save yourself some hassle.

brandrea · 5 February 2018, 01:36 PM

GMT

I’d also throw in a Submariner, but I know that’s not an option from your list

speedbird90 · 5 February 2018, 04:32 PM

Had the BLNR, flipped it for the 116713. Here's a pic to help you decide.

tyler1980 · 5 February 2018, 04:55 PM

I think a GMT is the best choice. I would go with the 116710 LN as the BLNR never really sung to me. Even if it had, i think the colors would get old after a while. The 116710 LN is classic, understated, and goes with everything. Not a fan of the TT GMT, on me at least.

Andad · 5 February 2018, 04:58 PM

Yep!

Ruud Van Driver · 5 February 2018, 05:01 PM

116622 Blue. One of the best Rolex dials out there.

JRT · 5 February 2018, 06:47 PM

BLNR with a dash of blue hue is the best choice from your list.
