Which stand-out GMT are you picking?

If given the choice at MSRP between the VTNR on Jubilee or the GMT Meteorite white gold pepsi, which are you choosing?

I like the Pepsi Meteorite more aesthetically but I would wear it way less and it is 3x the price of the VTNR. I like both for being different and outside of the normal Rolex mold.

I wouldn’t take a VTNR even if below retail.

If money is no option then my GMT wouldn't be Rolex.

Meteorite, the VTNR is the weird one, right?

126719 BLRO w/ dark blue dial is tied with the 126718 GRNR on jubilee as my favorite GMT Master IIs.

Between your two, I'd go with the BLRO in white gold with meteorite dial. Not my favorite, but beautiful. The lefty GMT Master II has never attracted me.

All a matter of preference

But since you asked, lefty GMT to me is about my least favorite Rolex ever produced. Zero historical provenance behind the color way, zero logic behind green/black representing "night and day," and struck me as lazy for Rolex to merely change a bezel to something so... random. It even seems to merely have been a byproduct of the green hype train that was a year or two ago

Meteorite is interesting but expensive

Neither. For a GMT I’d go five digit or older if money is no issue. The modern GMTs look horrible. The new Tudor 58 GMT is actually a serious consideration for me. They hit it out of the park with the design.

Neither! I’d rather a BLNR, than either of those.

^^^Kat is spot on…
The jubilee on GMT is too good. That combo is a stunner however you wear it.

Couldn’t do either - BLNR for me! If the VTNR had the same configuration as the BLNR that would be closer. Also needs a jubilee for me.

Both of these ! When the light is unfavorable and I can´t read the meteorite on the left hand, I can read the times on my old 1675 on the right hand.
