No where near an old man watch. I am a fashion conscious and relatively young 34 year old ( I swear). It's a beautiful watch.

It pairs amazingly well with the denim shirt you are wearing in the pic. Fashion is all about contrast, so I think that watch will go well with any blues, grey, white or black of course. Especially navy. I think the only colors I would stay away form would be oranges/yellow etc. A Deep red would probably go though.

It also should be tax deductible - you need it to know when the Asian markets open and close to cover positions in the Western markets.

You know you want it so pull the trigger!

GREAT advice!!! Instant classic.....

Change buddies. It is a GREAT looking watch.

Maiden · 13 January 2017, 07:05 AM

You have asked for all opinions, and I stress that we all have individual tastes. So for me, this is one of the worst looking models, I think the green and gold clash horrendously and make the watch look garish. Again this is just me, many people love it, I have DD and a TT sub and I know many who think a TT sub is garish. So to each their own, but this one is not for me. If you love it, go for it!

lamnyc · 13 January 2017, 07:08 AM

Great watch. I prefer the green dial...Its different from the rest.

RCrusoe · 13 January 2017, 07:57 AM

Love the YG GMT but hands down prefer the black dial.

I like it a lot. Very unique with the classic Rolex green color. It stands out as classy. Mark Wahlberg looks cool wearing it.

You're buddy is dead wrong, ignore him. It's a beautiful reference and it looks smashing on you.

tkerrmd · 13 January 2017, 12:06 PM

Love the watch, had one for several years and it was my daily watch. Did everything went everywhere with it!

darwin95 · 13 January 2017, 12:10 PM

it looks great on you OP.

joesephcho · 13 January 2017, 12:34 PM

i love the green dial gmt...it's my Rolex grail watch

Hodog16 · 13 January 2017, 12:46 PM

Looks great on you but not one of my favorite watches.

If you want YG and black dial, I'd go with the GMT over the Sub.

If you want YG and a color dial, I'd go with the blue sub over this.

Good luck!

[QUOTE=jw0n;7280924]It is a fantastic piece. That flat green dial is beautiful, and while it can be very flashy, it certainly is not "old man". I guess you either love it or hate it. Good luck with deciding![/QUOT

Love it

dht_tubes · 13 January 2017, 02:16 PM

This is one of the great iconic wristwatch

green dial is awesome but this is just me buy what you like and happy

kilyung · 13 January 2017, 02:19 PM

Very nice but I found the LN more versatile.

Hairdude1 · 13 January 2017, 02:47 PM

Love it! Miss my 718 so much

mk2jag · 14 January 2017, 03:50 AM

I love my 718LN, The black dial as Kilyung has shown looks great in all occasions. Did you try the LN?

Like on the Blue YG Sub, if you could have the black dial but with gold dial text that would be the killer for me.

bobabreath · 14 January 2017, 04:02 AM

I had the green GMT for a few months. I liked it at first, but the flat green dial didn't have enough pop and clashed a bit with the black bezel. Now I think the YG Blue Sub is better looking. If you must go with the YG GMT, the black dial would be the more boring but versatile choice in the long run.

Mitch105 · 14 January 2017, 04:06 AM

The green is very classy. Very British racing green looking to me. Or a Scottish golf course

captainjeff18 · 14 January 2017, 04:19 AM

I think it looks excellent. You should go for it with confidence!

RobJordan · 14 January 2017, 04:26 AM

This GMT is by far their best looking yellow gold configuration, aside from maybe the Day-Date if you prefer a classic dress watch. The green is complimented perfectly by the gold and the black bezel balances the colors out very well, giving it a sporty edge that kinda looks like a blackjack table. good luck with your purchase!

behardt · 14 January 2017, 04:51 AM

Looks great on you. My favorite setup for the green face is actually on the TT GMT. Lot of folks had grey marketers swap PM green faces for black ones from TTs when they got tired of the look. Hence, the grey marketer is left w/ a green face TT. Just saw one last week. For some reason, I like the sportier green face with the sportier TT case and bracelet. Pretty rare, pretty cool. I like the green face personally...

JP Chestnut · 14 January 2017, 05:05 AM

Green isn't very versatile. Gold isn't super versatile. So not very.

Yogi20 · 14 January 2017, 05:21 AM

If you binned the Hulk after 6 months, I can't see that one lasting long with you but it's your money and choice

EZANO · 14 January 2017, 05:39 AM

Green dial is much less pronounced than Hulk's green dial plus green bezel. You're clearly drawn to green watches, seems like the Hulk was just a little too much. This seems like a good compromise.

goog53 · 14 January 2017, 05:56 AM

For me the green dial just doesn't work with YG and black Bezel. Throws me off every time I see it but what the heck do I know considering my favorite watch that I own has a friggin Salmon Dial LOL! I did own the hulk and the green Bezel and dial worked well with the white metal. I am curious how this piece would've looked had they chosen a green bezel.
