Rolex YM Rhodium or GMT 116710LN

I'd be happy with either but am looking for comfort on the wrist and the newer movement..For around $11k, new (2019's)and unworn, which would you go with? Also could wait for MSRP prices in a month or so............Thank you

YM is probably your only option if you’re wanting unworn but if you were able to get your hands on a GMT (and sure there are some out there but most likely with a premium) then that would be my personal choice!

Look on the sales corner, DaVinci Watches has one GMT new unworn 2019 for 11.5k

I would go with the 116710, for me personally the YM rhodium, although beautiful piece seems too expensive versus a Sub, so I would pick a sub instead of this YM

116710 LN any day of the week and twice on Sunday for me. YM never did it for me. The LN GMT is a great, somewhat under the radar choice imho.

If you're not in a hurry, I would wait a couple of weeks/months. Market might pick up and add a couple 100s, but might go down significantly as well.
Is the "new unworn" a hard criteria?

I would go for the GMT as it is a more interesting watch. I have owned a YM before and just could not bond with it the way I always have with Rolex divers. So away the YM went for another diver. I like the GMT and would buy it.

YM for me. The comfort of the YM is better and is a better all around watch and yes, I have owned both. The YM can do formal or sporty easily.

YM rhodium, such a comfortable, versatile and classy watch, and that sunburst rhodium dial gives it a stunning monochromatic look and adds an element of luxury to the watch, not to mention the beautiful blue accents. One of the most interesting and unique Rolexes
