On the fence
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? |

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..... |

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 |

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?

I’d go BLNR from your choices.

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

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

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.

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

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