That is a tough choice and I think with my own life and need of complications - I would go with the RG GMT. I love the color scheme and how soft it is. The YG Sub is also sexy and has more of a punch on the wrist. This is one of those moments I would say "get both." You really CANNOT go wrong with any of these.

Both are fantastic.

Ask the AD to play "pick a hand" with you...

YG gold sub has been an icon for decades, would definitely be my first choice. RG for men has only recently become a thing. Its your $$ if you want the complication why not a YG GMT

The blue is nice, but a bit loud for me. The CHNR is understated and classic.
JMHO, but the GMT all day.......or both

Nothing pops like a yellow gold Rolex, and I have 3 rose gold pieces!!!

My yellow gold ymii is still my favorite and most stunning to me, especially when paired with blue!

It's funny - I went with a RG DD40 but for a Sub, I'd go YG.

Ok- just my opinion, and worth the price. You can have yours, but no need to disparage someone else’s, dude....

Howdy,

White gold always looks better than yellow gold to me. So if the Pepsi or the new Smurf are an option, I would go with that. That said, of the two mentioned, I would take the Bluesy in a heart beat.

To me, rose gold looks great in pictures, but in person it just looks like a women's color. Please know that not a criticism, however, I just can't reprogram myself to see it otherwise.

Now, if the CHNR came in yellow gold I would pick that ahead of the Bluesy in a heartbeat.

Take care,

Ruddiger
