Thanks for the input. I do notice people looking at the Rolex at work and a small number of comments have been made. I think it does have to do with comfort levels. At work I prefer to fly under the radar and on my own time I feel I can express myself more. Maybe I can consider putting the BLRO on leather for work but I would have to buy a tool to change to bracelet in evenings

I would consider adding a YG submariner aka Neil's fantastic photo
That dial is absolutely stunning

I'd vote to keep the BLRO. But if you really insist on one of these....I'd vote for the Daytona. I never took to the blue subs personally though so I'm a bit biased.

116528 Paul Newman red sweep

I would have suggested going for the eye popper first, here is my 116528



and then going for the understated WG look. Unless you're one of those who is opposed to YG, which some are and that is fine, but it doesn't seem like you are.

But since you already have a WG Rolex, I'm not sure why you'd want to take the hit on selling it just to switch to YG unless you're really unhappy with it.

I also have an all YG blue face Sub but that's a different look.

At the risk of getting too personal, I thought you stated you were selling the BLRO to free up cash as you were going back to school

Hi, I have decided to complete school part time over 4 years instead of full time (2 years) so I can continue to work full time while in school. This way it will be easier on me financially :). In the process of making this decision I began to consider flipping my blro.

Thanks for all the posts so far, I really appreciate each and every one!

Good luck with school!
To your original question, I would keep the GMT and just wear the Tudor during the day if that makes you more comfortable. But if you are set on YG piece, go with the YG sub.

Buy the one you prefer to the other one.

Now that's just not fair. That watch is so hot that it'll blow people away from across the room.

interesting decision you have there

is there a reason you are looking at the daytona in yellow gold or the Sub in white gold, seeing as both of those watches are available in both gold types?

in other words why is the decision not between a yg / wg version of the same model?

I prefer smurf blue to sunburst on yellow gold sub. I also believe the Daytona is one of the best yellow gold models. It makes a statement but it is not as bold as say a DD40 or sub/gmt, it is a little more restrained. I am also wanting a Daytona in my life. It is the only model (besides the GMT) that seems to fit my wrist perfectly......even the submariner seems to be a bit uncomfortable with its high caseback.....well thanks for your comment because it has prompted me to rant and really figure out a few things. Looks like I really want a Daytona
