Take a break....Pulling you away from the teaser thread....

Which yellow gold professional model would you consider the most versatile out of these choices?
Considering no formal or professional attire, only casual wear
(And what’s your favorite)?
Sub black dial
Sub blue dial
GMT black dial
GMT green dial

strettyend · 16 March 2019, 04:47 AM

Love the sub black dial!

CoveWatch · 16 March 2019, 04:48 AM

Gmt green is my favorite of the bunch and one I am considering myself

904VT · 16 March 2019, 04:50 AM

I prefer the Glidelock on the PM Subs to the GMT Masters, but I think the YG GMT Master, black dial is the most versatile. Most comfortable though are Daytonas imo

I’d agree, the Daytona is my most comfortable

Definitely. They Datyona, even in PM wears more like a bracelet. The Sub has the caseback and case that imo are best with Glidelock in PM. The GMT Master in PM still has a flatter caseback, but I'd prefer if Rolex made an abbreviated Glidelock aka EasyLock for the GMT Master

BT1985 · 16 March 2019, 05:19 AM

At first I hated the GMT green dial and I have come full circle and now love it. I would put it as number one.

Looks fantastic....I’ve just never had a black dial / yellow gold combo, especially to wear with blue jeans, T-shirts etc....

Good possibility

It definitely is sharp!

I also own the stainless steel version. That gets a nice amount of wrist time also.

The Glidelock is a must on a gold watch. I prefer the blue dial Sub.

Boaters · 16 March 2019, 06:37 AM

LB for me someday..

GB-man · 16 March 2019, 06:53 AM

Sub black dial but I realllly like the 116518LN "PN" dial.

watchwatcher · 16 March 2019, 07:07 AM

Rich, my brother...

I'll have my usual. The Bluesy.

Thanks Larry. I’m with you, I’m just wondering what the collection of minds here think as “most” versatile. I’m contemplating a black dial version, but wondering how the outside world views a black dial, YG combo, as far as versatility. Pretty tight voting so far.

Bosbevok · 16 March 2019, 08:23 AM

Next to the DD in rose/YG I think the Sub blue in all YG is the most beautiful watch out there.

See me at Bosbevok on YouTube

AK797 · 16 March 2019, 09:11 AM

I'm a Blue guy but the black Subc is the quietest of the quartet and so most versatile for me, but I'd have a SS for that and get the best looking one which is the Bluesy for me.

nick800 · 16 March 2019, 09:13 AM

This one

LuminousMaximus · 16 March 2019, 09:28 AM

I call this the YG Smurf, but someone else said it should be called the YG Bluesey

Whatever you call it I say this one because I just spent mucho G's on it...lol

I would agree and say the YG flat dial combo is more a Smurf combo. The sunburst, more Bluesy. But that's just my perspective

Cru Jones · 16 March 2019, 09:38 AM

Has to be the black Sub.

Less busy (cleaner) bezel than the GMT and a more sedate dial compared to the sunburst blue.

Etschell · 16 March 2019, 10:31 AM

I would say a dd 40 in gold with a black dial.

Yes Eliot, I’d agree....I’d say a DD40 (silver dial) is ultra versatile, but just looking between these particular models

Totally agree. DD40 is the best.
