YG sub. No question. The others are nice but the YG sub is a boss.

That Submariner Date has been superceded by the new case shape and movement unless of course you have a preference for the one pictured. The newer model makes plenty of sense and looks great.

Absolutely YG Bluesy.

To me the YG Bluesy is in a class of its own. The WG Pepsi is nice but not different enough from the SS Pepsi. The coppery rose gold and brown bezel in the Rootbeer look off to me, I could never wear one.

A very tough call to make. The Blue and Gold Submariner is the best option for me.

They're both beautiful pieces but I ended up going with the Sub because it pops more and it has the glide lock clasp.

Very tough choice. I have the bluesy and adding the TT root beer next year. Not saying to do the same for FG, but very tough choice. I guess if I had to choice it would be the bluesy since I like subs better.

Both great; I'd predict the Blue will be the favorite over the long haul (+5 years). I'd only buy a GMT if I needed the extra complication. The Sub with my water borne activities would be the one.

CHNR is da bomb. I'm not a YG fan. The rootbeer just nailed it, both in two tone and full rose gold

It really doesn't matter what we think.

But since you ask; rose gold FTW.

Go sub first. Then gmt

I bought this but would buy the gmt also in a minute. This is the more “classic” sports model in my opinion. The rootbeer is more in fashion now due to RG.

That being said, buy both, sub and GMT only because the 40 mm sub may suddenly become scarce.

I don't think I've ever heard the YG Blue sub described as "conservative" . It is the exact opposite. It is one of the biggest "slap in the face" watches out there. Everyone knows that you're rocking tens of thousands on your wrist, and those who know watches know its more in the 35-40k range. For people who don't think about money, they'll see the bling on this one from across a football stadium. It's LOUD, but that's also part of the appeal. .

Stunning pic but the real thing is indeed much nicer.

I generally prefer rg to yg, but that blue sub is amazing. Tough choice.

Hmmm....tough choice indeed. Looks are subjective, and weight/size are going to be equivalent, so the only thing I'd add is the sub has the glide lock clasp, which is nice for a heavy gold watch.

Oh, and a few pictures for comparison.

Both are real stunners and a tough choice. CHNR GMT for me.
