Get the GMT. I always admired it and thought it would look hideous on me. Tried it on less than probably a year and a half ago - a slightly used one - and it looked amazing, even on my pale white skin. I should have bought - price was $24,500.

I was just thinking the same thing! $19k preowned, and I could have had one a couple years back. They just never sang to me like the WG does.

I remember in ~2008 almost buying one for 15,500.... sadly I didn’t have the funds available at that time. 10 years later I paid considerably more

I have the Smurf and don't think you could go wrong with either. Yellow gold does not look right with my skin so I prefer white metal, but only you know what will work for you color-wise. Best of luck.

The GMT is beautiful but currently hyped up and will settle down imho

WG Daytona for me
Mainly because I think it’s virtually perfect for many reasons and I do prefer the older GMTs to the new ones. |

YG GMT is my new favorite of the entire line. I saw one in the wild a few months back and it was easily the best looking watch I've spotted on a wrist. Absolutely blown away and I can't understand why it seemed to be underrated for so long?

hard hard choice. In this case I would buy the GMT because I love ceramic.
When is Rolex going to release all these YG/WG models with ceramic bezels and full bracelets. I think there is HEAPS of ppl waiting for that combo |
