I cant decide!!

Ok, here is the story,
My brother is graduating from Med school next month and I want to give him one of my watches as a gift.
Problem is.....I cant decide which one to let go of..
My YM????????
My GMT II??????????
MY SS SUB????????????
The one thats on my wrist more often is the sub.

Tough choice................

Ouch, tough but very nice decision. I would say the GMT II, for a couple reasons.

1. The Sub is on the wrist the most for you, so no brainer there.
2. The YM can dual as dress and sport.

Good luck Alex, I am sure this is a tough decision for sure!! Adrian has a great point about the No-Date Sub though.

Hey Alex,

I'll say this for you - you're a man with a B-I-G heart. He's your brother, your very own flesh and blood.

Give him whatever your heart so desires, but give it to him with all your love and blessings.

Cheers - JJ

I would have said Sub, but since, as Daren pointed out, it's the one you wear most, I think the GMT's the way to go.

Gee, I wish I had a brother like you!

Alex, I'd have to go with the group on this one. Since you wear the sub most of the time, I'd bestow the GMT on him. He may find the 24 hour hand useful. And since the gift is something you personally value, it will mean more to him than buying him a new ND Sub.

hmmmmm what kind a pratice will he be entering, General Pratice, Surgeon, or specialized. I know why your giving him the watch and I'm thinking if GP or specialized then the GMT if Surgeon then the YM in my mind it would be the "look and prestige" of the watch.
my 2 cents lol
