GMT all day! Got offered the first one in from my AD and i said no :-(, boy do i regret that!

Hard_Six · 22 July 2018, 12:38 AM

Chnr

Wow this is a tough one. I really like GMT's but this is a really tough call. I think if pressed I'd go Sky-Dweller. It's just a stunningly cool watch. Love the size, the fluted bezel on the oyster bracelet and the properly sized crown.

I'll be turning 50 in five years and feel like a two-tone Rolex is the logical choice for such a milestone. Fortunately for me that gives me 5 years to think about it because there are some really good choices. Good luck deciding and congrats on the milestone!

037 · 22 July 2018, 12:45 AM

CHNR by a long shot. The copper color is great in person and the center links almost disappear to black in bright sunlight.

mr.president1 · 22 July 2018, 01:04 AM

Root beer is my preference of the two. Also, DavidSW is the man! Very easy to do business with

watchwatcher · 22 July 2018, 01:05 AM

That's a tough one. For me, it would depend on what else is in the collection,i.e., if you have another GMT, then I might go Sky.

But, I prefer the black and white options a little more.

HL65 · 22 July 2018, 01:06 AM

The CHNR for sure!

Kiddodoc · 22 July 2018, 01:37 AM

Prefer the GMT but the SkyD with a white face is nice too. Not a fan of champagne dials.

Jmbarrack · 22 July 2018, 01:59 AM

I think the GMT can play the sport/dress role a little better. GMT for me.

I have a TT GMT so I’m a fan. The new CHNR is beautiful but between it and the TT skydweller, the skydweller wins out for me especially if you spend a lot time in suits and blazers.

Nikrnic · 22 July 2018, 02:40 AM

CHNR

Some say that Rolex Everrose is to pink and looks to much like copper.

On a TT it is more subtle. Your attire above would lend itself better to the SKy D, but since the GMT also has PCLs it is a tough call

I’m done with Yellow gold, so it’s WG or RG, and I don’t do TT

I like 40mm so I would go with the GMT

Napoleon · 10 August 2018, 09:39 AM

Skydweller

Me neither re TT, but if I had to pick I’d go GMT

runner9 · 10 August 2018, 09:46 AM

I would also pick the GMT.

mschafer · 10 August 2018, 09:54 AM

As much as I like the skydweller as a tool, I think I would prefer a SS or any Gold version over the TT version. The GMT is a classic and therefor hard to dismiss and the rose gold version has something. It’s overall a bit more bulky and tool watch but of the two, that’s where I would go. And I love a a gmt. Also to consider, maybe, is a classic root beer, a bit more pronounced and fun...

CoveWatch · 10 August 2018, 09:57 AM

I will go CHNR but a lot of it has to do with the SkyD having too much wrist presence for daily wear for my smaller wrists

KBM · 10 August 2018, 10:20 AM

GMT no doubt, but the SkyD is definitely on the dressier side.

DARK_KNIGHT · 10 August 2018, 10:23 AM

The GMT by a mile.

CaliBear · 10 August 2018, 10:43 AM

Between those two get the GMT. IMHO the SkyD is little more than a large weird-looking DJ. If you really want a dressier TT why not just get a DJ41?

WatchinMD · 10 August 2018, 10:44 AM

GMT for sure

WJGESQ · 10 August 2018, 12:07 PM

Close call. Probably GMT.

Bruins7 · 10 August 2018, 02:13 PM

I prefer the LN TT GMTIIc version over both :D

GradyPhilpott · 10 August 2018, 02:18 PM

The CHNR appeals to me quite a lot.

The Sky Dweller is a great piece, but the GMT more than fulfills my needs for a multi-time-zone piece and I have too many watches to ever need an annual calendar.

crbrown · 10 August 2018, 02:19 PM

GMT cause I have one. I’m not a fan of that dial color on the Skydweller, the white face looks the best to me with the red accents. The other variations minimize the month ring too much for my liking.

timeisfathaoftruth · 10 August 2018, 02:37 PM

Would be a very easy call for me....The GMT all day long!
