I do love a gold sub but between those I would prefer the green GMT.

I'm having the same very same dilemma with the GMT and different watch, but having tried both on (the 2 that you are considering), there was one clear winner for me, it's just a little bit more special and rarer too imo.

That GMT Master looks better on your wrist IMHO

Blue sub all the way. It is just my aesthetic preference but I have handled the green dialed GMT and I think the green looks horrid. If you go GMT go black dial, but again get what YOU prefer.

Definitely GMT! It’s so unique and the gold with green goes so well

Which one: YG Sub LB or YG GMT LN green??? (Live pics)

Thank you so much Guys! Still confused but at a much higher level, lol
I think the average consensus is that they are both great watched and that I need both
Didn’t pull the trigger yet.. I’ll take some time to overthink it.. I guess the anniversary GMT is a very special and unique watch but at the same time a little less versatile than the sub..(?)
Keep you posted, thanks

Good luck!

I like the new GMT but the all rose gold doesn’t match well with my skin. In case of a new CHNR it would be the TT for me.

I give my vote to the 50th anniversary green GMT. I have loved mine for 9 years and counting and it's my one Rolex that won't be traded.



I also love the blue dial sub, but in my opinion the blue goes better with WG. I'd get the Green dial YG GMT now and think about getting the Smurf for your blue dial sub in the future!!


Good option also that I will consider. Thanks! Love the WG sub also!

Too hard of a call for me .... I love them both.

I'm leaning a bit to the Sub, but give me 1 minute and I'll say GMT.

Lb sub.

If the green gmt was like the hulk or gold and green daytona dial I would lean toward that.

The YG Bluesy is too good to pass on with its beautiful sunburst dial. If you're into a collector's piece, I could certainly see the Green YG GMT Master being it one day, but that's just guessing on my part. That being said the GMT Master is probably on its way out the door so i'd grab one while you can if it's what you really want.

I can't argue with that logic. Personally I just love the combination of black and yellow gold. And for my style, it is more versatile. The LB felt more like a summer/warm weather watch to me.

Having seen the yellow gold blue dial sub in person, I would say that!

Does anyone know if the blue dial 5-digit Sub has the same blue color of the 6-digit blue dial Sub?
