Wg dilemma

What’s the consensus? Keep in mind there is a 20k difference between the two!

WG Sub all day, even if they were the same price. That GMT, with that dial, might be an acquired taste, but I find it gaudy.

I love the WG Sub, stealthy, heavy and awesome. My fav Rolex. Having said that I have been eyeing the meteorite GMT for AWHILE! I do not have a GMT Master 2 and I think it would be the perfect one.

As a "Smurf" owner, I'd say sell the "Cookie Monster." I don't like the blue/black on this (but oddly find it ok on the BLNRs). The meteorite WG Pepsi is (deep breath) other-worldly.

I would go Meteorite...you can always get a whatever dial sub later, but the Meteorite won't be around forever.

You can't always find the Meteorite dial, grab it as you see one.

It would be cool if that WG Submariner were available with a meteorite dial. That would be my ultimate grail watch.

I prefer a Sub to a GMT, so I would take or keep the Sub.

I like the Sub better, but never let someone tell you that WG Rolex Sports watch is "under the radar" or "stealth" They are NOT and this coming from someone who wears YG and does not care what people think

GMT meteorite all day. It’s on another level.

That WG Sub just doesn’t do anything for me and I know I’d bore of it quickly.

I’m surprised how split the votes are! I think I prefer the GMT but 20k is a big spread

The Sub is probably a better daily as the glidelock may be a huge advantage with the extra weight of the PM. The meteorite GMT is another step up and will get noticed more.

Lousy pic of the Meteorite dial. They don't photograph well, but stellar on the wrist!!
