GMT Master II Root Beer 126711chnr or Sea-Dweller 43mm 126600
Hi,
Both watches are great and I like them a lot but can only choose one to purchase. SD43 can be used for both casual and business wear and is really a badass watch love it! I'm not too sure if the new GMT Master II Root Beer looks good in casual wear.. Would be great if owners of it can post see some pictures of it in casual wear Thanks |

I think chnr, easy. You mention the beast and business wear, it can cause havoc on dress button downs. In certain indoor lighting, the rg Centerlinks melt into the ss

My vote is for the GMT Master II Root Beer. Very sharp looking timepiece in my opinion.

CHNR or Sea Dweller
Spent days agonising when I had the opportunity to go for the CHNR and I am so relieved to have done the deed!
It’s a beautiful and understated watch that blends in very tastefully.The rose gold bezel and centre links pick up the light with a warmth that the Bluesy i previously owned could never emulate.Stares have been replaced with obvious appreciative looks of approval-making me more at ease wearing it-which i never felt with the Bluesy.It blends in superbly-casual or smart! There is a long waiting list and if you can get the CHNR i know that you will not be disappointed! |

There's no right, there's just what's best for you and your sense of style. Odds are, when you get one, you're still going to get the other, so just think of the question as which one you're going to get first.

Choice between GMT Master II Root beer and Sea Dweller 126600
Sounds good in all your replies 👍🏻
I need to think a day or two to decide between the 2 models while waiting for some more replies. Cheers! |

My vote is for the SD43. It’s been on my wrist every day since March and I couldn’t be happier with it, truly a flexible watch for all occasions.

I have both and would need a flip of a coin to choose between them. Can’t lose with either.
Good luck and enjoy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You also may think around whether you need a diver or a gmt function to start with. |

The SD43 hands down for me. If you want the TT GMT give it a minute and the prices will fall significantly.

Love the Root Beer but I just have a hard time seeing that as a casual watch. If only one I'd go with the SD43

if it was TT with yellow gold i would agree. RG and its a a completely different look. I would wear it casually no problem.
