Should I buy GMT Master II S/S or Yacht Master 40mm blue face.

bigie36 · 10 August 2021, 10:08 AM

Have you tried either of them? IMHO the biggest difference between the two is proportions. The YM is sleek, ergonomic, and a stone cold stunner in real life.

The GMT is beautiful, but retains the current tool watch proportions that are common in the Rolex lineup.

Buy a Seiko.

SLWoodster · 10 August 2021, 10:40 AM

YM blue face. there's less people whining about that one.

Guinness58 · 10 August 2021, 10:41 AM

YM Blue face. Too many GMTs running around.

Do you use/need the GMT complication?

ltmgeller · 10 August 2021, 11:03 AM

Which GMTII are you considering? Some versions stand out more than others. The blue dial is incredible on the YM.

dandigangi · 10 August 2021, 11:09 AM

YM all day.

jakemiller69 · 10 August 2021, 11:19 AM

both if i had to choose

Onti · 10 August 2021, 11:19 AM

Both are very good watches but I would choose the Yatchmaster over the GMT.

bremersm · 10 August 2021, 11:30 AM

The GMT is a classic but it is quite hyped now. My suggestion would be to fine a reasonably price vintage GMT.

The YM while not as loved is a beautiful watch without an identity.

It was my question 3 months ago, I got YM40 blue, GMT over hype in this time.love my

Nothing fits like a YM

But GMT wears better than a sub

You’d be fine with either

Go with aesthetic preference

I’ve owned both but neither for long!
Overall I found the Yacht Master elegant but slightly too small and a unisex watch rather than a mans watch, also the blue dial isn’t as stunning as everyone seems to make out, looks good in bright sunlight but otherwise it’s just dark blue.
The GMT wears larger but ultimately I found the all black a little boring, I prefer more colour and a more interesting dial so went Yacht Master II, it’s by far the best looking Rolex I’ve owned.

danwang0520 · 10 August 2021, 05:07 PM

What's in your collection? I would add GMT-Master II first.....

Master_Grogu · 10 August 2021, 05:56 PM

GMT. YM is better on OF.

I think you’re right about the blue. That’s the thing I’ve found with many sunburst. In the light/sun they are amazing. Not in those conditions they can be kinda drab/sad.

Add whichever watch you like the best, not the one the internet tells you to buy.

GMT is nice to have but not must have. I use it when I travel.
Thanks!

I am thinking the ceramic black and white stainless steel. Yes, YM blue dial with red hand is beautiful.

They are both very nice; the YM is probably easier to source right now at retail

Hi All,

I decided to get YM 40mm Blue Face. It is on the way from DavidSW.
Thank you all for your input. I think YM Blue face kind of unique and not many out there. Love the contrast of blue face and red hand. Profile is elegance.

GST15 · 12 August 2021, 02:16 AM

I would choose the YM for all the reasons stated. I had a choice and chose the Rhodium, as I thought it was more versatile in dressing up as need be, but they are both beautiful!
