One more for the GMT. And personally prefer the black dial over the green.
Gold on the GMT just looks right at home on what is a white collar tool watch. Sort of enhances it as an executive floor tool. At the same time it detracts from the functionality of the Sub as a tool that is apt to get banged around more in it's natural habitat. Therefore just doesn't look quite right to me. While I have to admit I like the WG Sub, I think it is mainly the blue dial and bezel that does it for me and I'd like it even more if it was SS like the LVC. And the bolder bezel markings just sets off the YG GMT a little nicer than the Sub. I know it shouldn't seem like much but it seems to make a noticeable difference to me.

Thank you Neil. I have finally made a decision between the yg gmt and sub (they are both beautiful) and am ready to buy one. However, I am new to this forum (first posts) and am just worried that I'll pay 28 or 30 for a fake or used one..just a little concerned, that's all..

That will give you an indication of what you might be willing to pay an AD.

Flip a coin, can't go wrong with either one, or get both. Good luck with your decision. Congrats in advance
