Unless you’re talking jubilee, then I get it. But if we’re talking oyster to oyster, I would assume the case is basically the same so wouldn’t the edge go to the glidelock on the Sub?

I’ve never tried on a GMT so I’m genuinely curious.

The clasp on the GMT oyster bracelet is smaller since it doesn't have glide lock. I find the bracelet to be more comfortable but that's just me

Based purely on looks.

1. TT blue Sub (best looking by far)
2. Sub (good looking in a stern utilitarian way)
3. Daytona (OK, bit cramped and busy though)
4. GMT BLNR (meh)
5. TT GMT (brown...nuf said)

Thank you for the replies everyone! What about if the Pepsi jubilee was added into the mix?!

Root Beer, I had a BLNR Batgirl - seemed very cold to me. Love my Root Beer two tone - just a very different wearing experience... I think the 2 tone Root Beer for whatever reason is better than the all-gold. With my skin tone - the all-rose gold kind of blended into my skin tone. The SS isolates the Rose Gold and for me on my skin makes it pop.

New pepsi - you pay for the hype. Prices on Root Beers seem really good right now.. Maybe 10% to 15% premium over retail vs. the 50% to 90% premium you will pay for a BLNR and the 100% to 130% for a BLRO.

Rootbeer (or Pepsi), Sub (starbucks) and Panda Daytona. That’s it for me for now

Honestly, it kinda depends where you're at in your watch journey.

If you're just starting out, you can't beat a steel sub. If you've got a few pieces, then the bluesy/BLNR/CHNR are all viable options. If you're looking to complete a collection, then the Daytona.

Good luck,
