Going for the gold...

Hello All
I am finally ready to take the yellow gold Rolex plunge.
Which would you choose and why:
Gold GMT Master II green dial ref# 116718LN
OR
Gold Ceramic Submariner black dial ref# 116618

Thanks for your input!
Dante

Since you want a black dial, I vote GMT.

If you were okay with the blue, blue sub.

This is exactly right. If you want a blue dial/bezel, then 116618LB. If you want a black dial/bezel, then 116718LN. I chose black. Now I'm thinking of adding blue.

Out of your choices Green GMT, but the Blue dialed sub is so awesome

Many thanks, my friends.

The alternative, which I do think of sometimes, is a black YG Subc and BLRO.

If you like blue, go with Sub
If you like black, go with GMT
If you like green, go with GMT (had to add that one, as it is one of my favorites)

In YG, the GMT speaks to me the loudest. The bold look of the numerals on the bezel just does something to me.
