Green GMT... the only time I would pick a GMT over a sub.

Blue Sub! Although the green GMT in person is very distinct, pictures hardly do it justice.

That's a really tough one..
I might give the slight edge to the GMT for that green dial which is even better than any pic I've seen.

Both stunners but the sunburst blue just edges it.

From those 2 green GMT, but with that clothing would probably suggest something in WG or platinum (Platona if you still own it) as it is more under the radar

Yes the WG or PT works for sure, just strictly going for YG opinion though

I voted Green dial GMT, but I also agree with your suggestion of WG/Plat instead with the attire as stated.....or a maybe a RG Yachtmaster/Oysterflex perhaps?

Visually, I think the GMT is the most stunning. But, I think the blue of the sub is the most natural of the two colors, possibly fitting in better to everyday situations. For example, I have more blue shirts than green.

But...I voted for the GMT b/c I always pull for the underdog.

Green is nice but I would do black for GMT. More versatile.

But my favorite Rolex is the Sub and anything sunburst puts it over the top. I love mine:
Also agree with glidelock for the kill... That REALLY helps me, as my wrists seem to really fluctuate here in the Florida heat.
Especially on heavier PM watches, it is even more important. It is SO much better than easylink (at least for me).
Dear Rolex, please start putting glidelock clasps on all your sports models...

Thanks guys....I have the daydate, but my thoughts were...if I'm going to wear a daily ( or very regularly worn in rotation ) gold watch, i don't want to worry about whacking the bezel, I'm active all day, so the ceramic suits my lifestyle for sure. Also have my Daytona on leather as well.
Also surprised at the response about the matching with my attire....I thought the GMT with the green would be a better fit. Thank you for the responses

Blue sub for me as green isn't my favorite color. A black and YG watch would be even more flexible.

This. The black dial GMT is more flexible, and I don't love the green.

On a sub, I'd do blue or serti instead of black.
