From the picture, I think you look way better in the YM because of your wrist size. The GMT looks a bit off and too bulky.

YM as it's much more elegant and unique (for current rolex)). Plus sits better on your wrist.

For my old eyes, the more monochrome color of the YM overall makes it less easy to read the gray dial. The blue dial would be easier to see. For me, the black dial of the GMT makes the hands stand out better. I do prefer the red second hand on the YM.

I prefer the GMT, but wow does the YM look good on your wrist!

The YM looks like it fits your wrist much better. I'd go with the blue dial YM, much more interesting and its not just the dial that catches your eye, but just draws more attention to the piece because theres actually some contrast.
BLNR looks a bit big/chunky for your wrist IMO

I would like to thank everybody for his/her input
It looks like there are votes for both ops and their number is +- the same
Will use the weekend to think over the whole deal again)

I must admit the YM looks better on you. Both are great watches. Time to choose which tickles you more. Ultimately you're the one who has to live with it.

Having owned a ym briefly and moved it on mostly due to the easily scratched bezel I would recommend the GMT2. I liked the yachtie and still do to look at but probably would not own another. It is hard to beat the iconic status of a GMT, it will probably age better, has the 24 hour hand which is useful, and slightly rarer than a Sub.(though i own and enjoy my Sub).

I voted for Yachtmaster when I bought both blue and platinum dial version. It's a year now and I love them both. I am picky about readability and I have no trouble reading the platinum dial. They are extremely comfortable watches and the shape of the cases are very elegant in my eyes. Wearing mine right now. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1437227717.502497.jpg
