Dilemma! Green face gmt or white gold bluezey

So I'm about 3/4 the way to be able to buy my next watch. Hoping to treat myself after lent is over. I'm in a dilemma do I buy the white gold blue submariner or the green face gmt. I have to be honest my mind has been fixated on the green gmt for a long time, but all my watches are gmt models of sort. For a stance on collectibility what would you all do. I'm including pictures of my watches. With my current line up what would you do. I

You like GMTs for a reason. Don't talk yourself out of it. You've been fixated on the green dial GMT. That's the one!

Collectibility stance? Not relevant imo. These are mass produced watches. Many have been made and will be made.

Buy the one you want to wear most.

You cant go wrong with either, those are both amazing pieces. I don't see a problem sticking with a GMT theme especially if you have been thinking about it for a while.

I'd add the Sub since you a
Ready have 2 GMT's. Adds a bit of diversity to your collection. Good luck deciding.

Your seminary pays well! Never saw a priest at ND with one of these...

I'd get the GMT if that's what has been haunting you. My guess is you will continue to want this even if you get something else.

Nothing wrong with just having GMTs, some people find a niche in the watch market and take their entire collection that way.

Beautiful collection. Both are excellent, EXCELLENT choices. I'm more of a submariner man myself, but you seem to like GMT's.. Only you can decide what you truly want. Both are gorgeous. You DO already have a fair bit of 18k gold, might be nice to mix it up with a cool blue face and a stealthy WG watch if you know what I mean ;)

Personally, I would add the GMT Master II as I love the green dial on this watch, but in your case, I would recommend the Submariner as you already have a couple of GMT's. However, it would seem that your heart is set on the GMT, so why not go with what you really want?

Both amazing, but for me the WG Sub by a mile... especially for you who already has 2 GMTs, one of which being TT.

going from what you already have I think the sub would add more diversity
You have a YG already, need the WG

Isn't the green gmt limited piece? That's what's haunting me with the green gmt. I'll never buy it again. I do love the gmt just as function. I seriously very conflicted I feel what ever I get I'll never be happy :( do all the white gold smurf subs come with the diamond face I am seeing ?

No and No.

Although they don't produce any more diamond dials on the subs.

I could never do that lol I'm honestly leaning towards finding a wg with the diamond dial sense I have so many gmt watches! This could change tomorrow though. I guess I should start looking while I have my mind made up

Green GMT is special. One of the first Rolexes that really caught my eye.

I'd sell the GMT and BLNR and get the solid gold GMT with the green dial and the blue Sub.
This will give you a pretty nice collection. You can add a explorer one or Datejust in steel if you feel the need for a beater.
