Search over, winner arrives for pickup Wednesday

I have finally made my decision on my first Rolex. It's the GMT Master II, 116710LN. I've been going between this one, the no date Sub and a DJII Grey dial with black Roman numerals. I even considered a two time sub date for a minute. I've also made the decision to buy it new from my local AD. The salesperson there has truly earned my business with this watch and last month with a new wedding set as a gift to my wife for our 10 year anniversary. She has gone out of her way to incredibly helpful and not pushy. I also felt as if she gave honest feedback and advice.

Here's how I come to the conclusion:
Sub - too sporty for me for wearing with a suit 5 days per week.

DJII - really liked this watch with Romans and dark dial. There was just something about it that I couldn't get past. I don't know what it is, just something.

TT Sub - had a blue dial. Beautiful in the case. Too bright and flashy for me.

Winner - GMTII: perfect balance of sporty head with a little dressier bracelet. The green hand and writing is awesome. Green is my favorite color. It's just enough touch of a different color and the bezel I like better than the Sub. I feel I will own a Hulk Sub at some point.

It arrives WEDNESDAY this week. Will post pics as soon as I pick it up. Thanks to all those who offered advice.
