The holy grail for me has always been an 18k Sub and now I can see it on the horizon, the time is near to upgrade to 18k. The plan being, once I have the grail piece I can start expanding the collection.

It was the 5digit 18k Sub I had wanted all those years ago, but now I would really prefer a modern 6digit watch..so I'm looking at the 18k GMT also.

Whats the preference? I do like the blue dial, but the green dial GMT has me distracted.

Can we see some 18k sub/GMT pics and some opinions.. what one would (or do) you have?

rmlovett1 · 19 April 2018, 06:06 AM

Tough choice.... I’ve had both, and love both for different reasons. If you love both equally, I’d say get the complication you like more. Glide lock might be a consideration (wasn’t for me). Then look at color combo you like best. When it came down to choosing to have only one...it was fairly easy for me, as blue is my favorite color. Can’t go wrong either way...IMO. Great choice to have!

Just an opinion, I am not a fan of the green dial on the gold GMT. Now, that 6 digit sub with the blue dial, that's a stunner!

RolexG1986 · 19 April 2018, 06:16 AM

Definitely blue dial, it has a great contrast.

runner76 · 19 April 2018, 06:19 AM

Sub

chad362wiley · 19 April 2018, 06:21 AM

Have to go LB 18k sub between those options. no contest

AK797 · 19 April 2018, 06:31 AM

Both awesome pieces but I just prefer the blue sunburst, and that's the one I still have.

thesharkfactor · 19 April 2018, 07:23 AM

I think I'm leaning towards the GMT with green dial, it is just singing to me. I have been living with the blue dial (bluesy) for some time so the change to green may actually be welcome. I'd like to see one before committing though (which may be an issue, not many where I am).

superstarmar · 19 April 2018, 07:28 AM

Blue Sub Ceramic 6 digit is King IMO...

Rolex.c6 · 19 April 2018, 07:47 AM

Although probably more difficult to wear daily because of it's colour, I'd go for the GMT with green dial.

Hoangoneone7 · 19 April 2018, 07:50 AM

I would go with a GMT!!!

Bruins7 · 19 April 2018, 08:04 AM

I love GMT models but if you're going PM, that blue sunburst dial with the blue ceramic bezel and yellow gold. WOOO this model is really nice!

It is a beautiful watch. That green dial changes colors a lot, depending on the lighting it’s in.

cpefy3 · 19 April 2018, 09:13 AM

I love the green GMT/YG combo!! What awesome position to be in!! Congrats!!

Jmbarrack · 19 April 2018, 09:17 AM

Gmt. Easy one for me. Love the green and gold combo.

He is at it again! This time with not 1 but 3 stunners.

I want the one on the left! NEIL, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!

Bigblu10 · 19 April 2018, 09:25 AM

I am biased because I own one. Yellow gold sunburst Submariner. No contest.

I had the same dilemma , went gold sub !

kicksncrowns · 19 April 2018, 11:10 AM

The balance of the gold sub is amazing.

envuks · 19 April 2018, 12:30 PM

I never really liked the green dial gmt myself. I was between the 116618ln, 116618lb, 116718ln, or 116619lb. I went with this and couldn’t be happier. Love it

In YG, the sub.

In WG, the GMT.

Hard_Six · 19 April 2018, 12:40 PM

I prefer the sub here

rebel_1 · 19 April 2018, 12:53 PM

Hard call. I have the YG SubC LN and the YG GMTIIC green dial. I have zero regrets, but looking back, a YG SubC LB with the black dial YG GMTIIC with green date wheel is probably the best of all worlds!!

rodo · 19 April 2018, 01:01 PM

Im debating the same thing myself! But im debating 116618lb or 116718ln
