Which one you taking? 126619LB or 116719 w/ black dial

Which one you taking and why? The GMT Master II with black dial or the Cookie Monster?

I think out of those two the 126619LB sub. It has a newer movement with more power reserve and the watch itself would be a little newer as well. The polished center links is also a nice touch over the SS variant submariners for me personally.

I think the better comparison would be a 126719BLRO with the blue dial, however would cost a few grand more on the grey market.

I have both of these, and I got to tell you that putting aside the hype of a Pepsi bezel, that sub is incredible.
I would go with the sub for sure.

Stunning too bad that although you get a green in SS for the blue you have to go WG

I agree, the green is very cool too.

BLRO. For a WG Sub I'd be looking at the 11 series.

In 99% of situations I would chose the GMT but the 126719 would be just a lot more interesting with a blue dial or Meteorite. A black dial, you might as well save some money and get the SS.

The blue bezel looks great and nicer out of those two.
