Morning all,
I've just come back from a visit to my Local AD, in which I tried on a Milgauss 116400GV, a Submariner 116610 LV and a GMT Master II - 116710 BLNR, but i can't make up my mind which one I want...

This will be my first Rolex, It will be worn every day, I work as a Sales Consultant for a Technology Business, and I travel alot personally ...

Any advise would be welcome !!

I would say the GMT because it's a useful function to me and I use it all the time. Plus you travel so it sounds like it'll be useful for you as well. My order of your above choices would be...

GMT
SubC
Milgauss

X2, though perhaps the Sub can be a bit more formal with its Black on Black clean cut look, though the BLNR has the PCL's which add a bit more flare.
Definitely would eliminate Milgauss and focus between Sub & BLNR. If you like the dual color Bezel of the BLNR then I would go for that. Both have good resell values BLNR more so at moment so you can always change them up if
you think you made the wrong decision with minimal damage financially that is. Good Luck

GMT if you travel far and LV if you don't.......

Jack T · 12 November 2015, 09:15 PM

I like either the GMT or the Sub

HL65 · 12 November 2015, 09:15 PM

BLNR tough to beat as all around watch. Love owning both it and LV myself but if had to only have one watch the BLNR wins.

Interesting Ken any reason why you'd take the BLNR first?

GMT.

Good selection at your AD if they have that sub and GMT.

Racerdj · 12 November 2015, 09:28 PM

My suggestion is the BNLR as it is just perfect for a GMT.

joli160 · 12 November 2015, 09:44 PM

The GMT

Superlativo · 12 November 2015, 09:55 PM

BLNR as only watch between those three.

kenn18 · 12 November 2015, 09:44 PM

If you travel between different time zones, pick the GMT II. if not, the Sub LV will serve as a competent daily beater!

Troubled_Joe · 12 November 2015, 09:53 PM

GMT BLNR every time

brandrea · 12 November 2015, 09:53 PM

The GMT would be my choice for a one and only.

Sublovin · 12 November 2015, 09:54 PM

I would choose the Sub but any of them are nice. Take your time and get what you really like

subtona · 12 November 2015, 09:59 PM

Since you said you travel a lot... Gmt is an easy conclusion.

Congrats in advance.

cop414 · 12 November 2015, 10:03 PM

As others have posted, GMT if you travel, Submariner if you don't. Either would be a great daily.

Ruud Van Driver · 12 November 2015, 10:22 PM

I also have both the BLNR and the LV. Whilst I'm wearing my BLNR today, I would pick the LV as a one and only; that Glidelock clasp is worth its weight in platinum.

The BLNR would be extremely useful if you travel between tine zones. However, depending on your personality, the PCLs scratch quite easily and that might bug you after a while if you're an OCD type.

The Milgauss is quite unique and there's less chance of seeing someone else wearing one and it's the least expensive of the trio. It's a very nice reference, which I like a lot.

No wrong choice but the LV shades it for me because of the Glidelock. Good luck

melons · 12 November 2015, 10:37 PM

Sub for the Glidelock clasp.

asleep · 13 November 2015, 03:49 AM

If you're travelling through time zones and would use the 4th hand functionality, then the GMT...

Otherwise, the Submariner for me.

BLNR, since although it is popular you won't see many in the wild, whilst Sub's are everywhere.

brettpaul · 12 November 2015, 10:45 PM

BLNR if it will be your only....you can always source a Glidelock for it!

anothernewphone · 12 November 2015, 10:48 PM

You can't beat the BLNR for your only watch- out of those three. It is definitely a tough choice, though. I had the LV as my only watch and loved it, but I think the GMT hand will be more useful to you since you travel.

watchwatcher · 12 November 2015, 11:34 PM

As you travel, my vote is for the BLNR.

RMC12 · 12 November 2015, 11:39 PM

Have owned both the GMT and the Sub at the same time and flipped the GMT in the end. Still love the watch though I just preferred the sub. Haven't ever worn a Milgauss but saw someone wearing one a while back and it looked awesome on his wrist. Tough call to be honest but I would personally chose the sub.
