GMT... easy choice really.

i was a Patek guy. Busy dial in that 5930G and I'd suggest getting a vintage model with the Geneva seal if you go PP.

Gmt meteorite. Much more unique IMO. Got offered a 5930G as my first Patek, but got a 5230G instead.

Gmt for me. The 5930 is very nice in person but the meteorite dial is special.

Ahhhh come one pick any other Patek! Neither. Rather get hit by a meteorite than have it on my wrist. Why not the nautilus?

It depends which one sing to you, you should get that one.

If you can get it at msrp, I would get GMT Meteorite, secondary market is a lot higher price.

If you like PP, you should ask for some discount or bundle with sport model.

That's by the way. I'll pick the GMT over the Patek even in my dreams

It would depend on what else I had, as they are completely different looking watches….sporty with full gold bracelet, vs a bit more refined on a fine leather strap. If I had similar watches in my collection, more than likely, I’d go for the one that didn’t resemble something I already have. Both are great looking pieces. BUT…at the end of the day, I’d go with what I enjoyed looking at the most on my wrist…no matter what.
If it were a truly, flip a coin situation…I’d go Rolex between those two. Fits MY lifestyle/persona better….YMMV

I'm not a fan of that particular Patek, so I'd go GMT.

Definitely the BLRO for me. Now if the other option was a Patek 5170, my choice for sure even though different complications. For a GMT type watch on strap, I'd go with the Lange Dual Time over the 5930 personally.

Easy choice: GMT BLRO with meteorite dial.
