Stuck between 3 Different Watches ... advise and suggestions welcome
Morning all,
I've just come back from a visit to my Local AD, in which I tried on a Milgauss 116400GV, a Submariner 116610 LV and a GMT Master II - 116710 BLNR, but i can't make up my mind which one I want... This will be my first Rolex, It will be worn every day, I work as a Sales Consultant for a Technology Business, and I travel alot personally ... Any advise would be welcome !! |

I would say the GMT because it's a useful function to me and I use it all the time. Plus you travel so it sounds like it'll be useful for you as well. My order of your above choices would be...
GMT SubC Milgauss |

BLNR tough to beat as all around watch. Love owning both it and LV myself but if had to only have one watch the BLNR wins.

Good selection at your AD if they have that sub and GMT. |

My suggestion is the BNLR as it is just perfect for a GMT.

If you travel between different time zones, pick the GMT II. if not, the Sub LV will serve as a competent daily beater!

Since you said you travel a lot... Gmt is an easy conclusion.
Congrats in advance.

As others have posted, GMT if you travel, Submariner if you don't. Either would be a great daily.

I also have both the BLNR and the LV. Whilst I'm wearing my BLNR today, I would pick the LV as a one and only; that Glidelock clasp is worth its weight in platinum.
The BLNR would be extremely useful if you travel between tine zones. However, depending on your personality, the PCLs scratch quite easily and that might bug you after a while if you're an OCD type. The Milgauss is quite unique and there's less chance of seeing someone else wearing one and it's the least expensive of the trio. It's a very nice reference, which I like a lot. No wrong choice but the LV shades it for me because of the Glidelock. Good luck

BLNR, since although it is popular you won't see many in the wild, whilst Sub's are everywhere.

BLNR if it will be your only....you can always source a Glidelock for it!

You can't beat the BLNR for your only watch- out of those three. It is definitely a tough choice, though. I had the LV as my only watch and loved it, but I think the GMT hand will be more useful to you since you travel.

Have owned both the GMT and the Sub at the same time and flipped the GMT in the end. Still love the watch though I just preferred the sub. Haven't ever worn a Milgauss but saw someone wearing one a while back and it looked awesome on his wrist. Tough call to be honest but I would personally chose the sub.

Be different and get the 116400gv. If you're like me and have a cell phone in front of you most of the day, then you'll always have the correct time in front of you.

I'll say Milgauss. It speaks to success in a subtle, quirky way, shows personality and might be more interesting to the people you sell to.
