The smurf and the GMT make an awfully nice pair.

What I actually meant by my post was flipping the blue YG Sub for a black YG Sub to pair with your WG Sub. Just my personal preference between the YG GMT (black or green dial) and black YG Sub.... |

Variety makes for sense to me. Plus that green dial is awesome!

I definitely feel too much blue in the mix; the GMT is beautiful! I'd definitely swap yellow gold for yellow gold and keep the WG smurf!!!

I'd keep the LB and get back the GMT
Get rid of that WG Sub. It doesnt look as nice especially with the flat blue dial. |

That's a very tough choice....I think YG and blue dials were made for each other so I wouldn't trade it for the GMT. But I wouldn't want to let that WG Sub go either.
I usually like more diversity in dial colors, but this is one situation where I would probably stay put. Does your YG Sub have the flat blue dial or sunburst? If you have the sunburst dial I think they are different enough to coexist in a collection. |

I would stick with what you have. If it were me in your position and someone had an unmentionable to my head and made me flip one for a GMT, I’d let the YG Sub go for a BLRO but not a YG GMT. I’m not at all a fan of that green dial and YG doesn’t suit me anyway.

Wow! Great memory! You are 100% correct....love everything about the BLRO.... except the bezel colors. I prefer the more vivid blue/red

I personally like the YG sunburst dial. I would flip the WG Smurf.

Another idea: If you are set on one WG piece and one YG piece, I'd actually go for a BLRO to complement your YG SubC But seriously go with what you think you'll enjoy most, that's always what matters in these types of threads. |

Why in the world would you flip the YG sub for a GMT....I can't understand the appeal of an GMT anyway but I certainly think there is no comparison with the sub YG

Not a big fan of the smurf flat blue dial.
Not crazy about the YG & green/black colour combo of the GMT either tbh. Personally, my choice would be YG Sub with sunburst blue dial and lose the smurf altogether in favour of a BLRO. Then at least you still have both YG & WG, you still have a Sub & a GMT but with the best contrast in dial & bezel colours - to me at least... Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
