GMTII Yellow Gold Black face Vs Green Face
Does any one have a picture of the two together? If not then maybe the Sub 116618 black face and the GMT II Green face together?... Also out of the two which one do you prefer?

No pics here, but love both. Given the choice, I'd go with green.

This thread may help you out:
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...ghlight=116718 I have not seen the green dial in person but from the pics I've seen they are both nice but I like the black dial better. I know the green dial is different but how common is a YG GMT to begin with? So I wouldn't go green just to separate myself from the herd because there is no herd. Frankly, there's no wrong choice.

I went with a black dial over green as it sings to me more. However you have to go with your gut

I do find it interesting how many members like the green dial while at the same time many members don't like even the green 24 hour hand or font.

Black.
I already have the perfect green with the 116610LV. I hate to say it, but somewhere on TRF a comment was made that the 116718 Green Dial reminded that person of a pool table. I'm not agreeing per se, however I can see the comparison. Spoiled the look for my taste. I still find it a sharp look on others, nevertheless.

G-R-E-E-N !!!
Would love to own either but the green is on another level and comes with instant classic status IMHO... It'll be the 16713/16718 of the future in that it's all class and will become a relatively rare bird. |

I don't think you could really go wrong with either - but personally?.. green.

I prefer the black.
Looking at the pictures, I still prefer the black!  Seriously though, as has often been said in these circumstances, you cannot go wrong.

I went with black for the more classic appeal.
Big fan of both though. |

Black is standard and green so so much more special. That green and gold is the best looking Rolex GMT by a mile, IMHO

Sammk from your prior posts, it seems you like the bolder, more statement-like pieces. Go for the green all day. People will ask you about it probably.

Black is just too predictable. But green is unique to all gold.
