Two tone GMTII v's two tone Sub
My partner has a dilemma should he get a 2 tone GMTII or 2 tone Sub. Or should he hang out to get a 2 Tone Daytona. What do you think, which way should he go?

Both the TT GMT and TT sub are quite nice. I would probably lean towards the TT Blue Sub though--classic look and classic watch!

What does your partner like to do? Does he like to swim often? Does he dive? Or does he travel often? Also, does he like speed and cars?. Each of those watches do something better than the other. Al of them are very pretty. I guess your partner should answer those questions and try each watch in his wrist and decide himself. I like them all but my choice will be the TT Sub C for what I enjoy doing. Also with the SubC there are color options too (black,blue,green).
Regards,

My choice will be torn between TT Gmt newer style, or TT Blue Sub OLDER style!
Eventually I`d pick up Blue Sub...

The only Two tone that works for me is the 16613 in black, the all gold, strangely enough looks better in blue.

IMO it depends on whether he wants to go "unique" vs more common. I regularly see TT Subs in the wild but have yet to see my first TT GMT. For me, the TT GMT!

I had the same choice..Went for the GMT 116713LN...could not have been a better choice for me because I love the GMT bezel more then the sub...The sub is more refined and the GMT a bit more busy...but I like that!
Good luck...eather way you are 'golden '....!!!

Your partner should choose the watch which makes him happy and not one based on what anyone else thinks...good luck!!!

All three are excellent watches - the Daytona is a watch I genuinely think works better in TT rather than SS, especially with a blue arabic dial. It would be a very hard choice between the three though

If budget was not a problem, TT Daytona. If it is, either the the sub or gmt in TT is good but it I like the black dial version better with the sub.
