Gold gmtII with green dial! Maybe my frail watch now. The "marky mark" I call it in honour of walhburg the only celeb I've seen rocking it.
Go for that reference....btw what's the going rate of the gold GMT?

Geez, I was all set to say DD, but all the pics of GMT have made it a tough decision. Just depends on whether you want classic or sporty. They are both great watches. Have fun with your decision, sorry I couldn't help!!

116718 is where it is at for me at this point. Partly because I know my wife would steel the DD, just like my 16610, and I would never see it again.;-)

unless you are talking about the dd2 there's no reason to even discuss this. gmt is the only way to go.

Whatever sings to you. Forget the opinion of others, at $25K+ you better be happy.

YG Day-Date is a Rolex icon and instantly recognizable. YM is not - heck some non-WIS might think it's an Invicata for God's Sake. But again who cares if the YG YM is your grail ?

Patrick, was the 116718 affected by the rate increase as well?

OK, the new price of the 116718 is $33,250. Up from $29,500. An increase with 11.3%.
