It's really been a great while since I purchased a Rolex and my very first one is my GMT-IIC (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=37911).

Fast Forward 5 years, now am contemplating on either of the two:

a 116622 YM Blue Face or a 116520 Black Face Daytona.......

H E L P ! ! ! ! !

both are nice and I've tried both on my wrist and really can't decide???

I know the easiest is to get both but just one for now......

I personally would get the ym, but IMO the GMT II is very similar in design to the ym. So to toss it up and go in a different stylist direction I'd say Daytona. But standing on its own I think the ym is a better looking watch. Have any wrist pics of both?

sorry Rickn, didn't get a shot of both watches on my wrist :)

Blue YM! If your heart is set on a Daytona, maybe wait a bit as it's rumored that there maybe changes to the Daytona this year.

a ceramic version for the SS? =)

Miamipawnsab · 8 April 2013, 12:19 PM

daytona the new blue face ym is brand new and they take a drop when your going to get rid of them . The daytonas hold good value and dont take that much of a hit . if i could i would buy another 16622 but pre owned you can pick one up for half of what they retail just wont be the new blue one ..

rolio · 8 April 2013, 12:28 PM

Ym!

AF_Rob · 8 April 2013, 12:41 PM

I think the YM will go nice with your GMTII. Then again, I do have a bias to watches that are at home in the water!

nick c · 8 April 2013, 12:49 PM

Daytona

Psmith · 8 April 2013, 07:27 PM

YM ...but wait until Basel to see what is released in case anything takes your fancy

Cru Jones · 8 April 2013, 07:30 PM

between those two, daytona for sure. while i like the blue dial and red accents, something about when combined with the bezel doesn't work for me. plus, the daytona will make a great combo with your GMTIIc. good luck with the choice!

Rocco22 · 8 April 2013, 08:53 PM

That is a really hard decision.i want them both as well and in the near future will be going thru this dilemma.not sure what I will do except try both on and hope one looks better at the moment,also I enjoy no date watches more than date watches so of prob go Daytona.i know I'm not much help.

cop414 · 8 April 2013, 08:55 PM

My vote / opinion would be for the Yacht Master.

metalsofwar · 8 April 2013, 10:29 PM

+1 on Daytona

landroverking · 9 April 2013, 12:17 AM

Do you need/use a chronograph? If so Daytona if not YM.

mtrunner · 9 April 2013, 12:48 AM

YM all the way. This watch with the blue dial is stunning.

luvsub · 9 April 2013, 01:51 AM

Daytona.

sea-dweller · 9 April 2013, 02:02 AM

Daytona!

SL%% · 13 April 2013, 02:58 AM

leaning towards Daytona.....

beshannon · 13 April 2013, 03:08 AM

Daytona

Sam Philip · 13 April 2013, 03:11 AM

Daytona!

katana · 13 April 2013, 04:23 AM

Daytona........!!!!

Speed · 13 April 2013, 04:53 AM

Another vote for the Daytona - if you can read the dial.

Different enough from the GMTIIC

The YM is a silly watch IMO. ;-)

SearChart · 13 April 2013, 05:33 AM

I'd get the Yachtmaster

FLY-DOG · 13 April 2013, 05:38 AM

Listen to your heart, not us. Oh by the way....get the 116622 YM.

leetheway · 13 April 2013, 05:41 AM

Ym.

shalako · 13 April 2013, 05:56 AM

Another vote for the YM.

F.Works · 13 April 2013, 05:57 AM

YM blue +1 The Daytona is too much sight.

jlc123 · 13 April 2013, 06:07 AM

Since, you have a GMTC, I would say neither. Get a pre owned Day Date, that's one special piece.

watchwatcher · 13 April 2013, 06:10 AM

Daytona...white dial.
