1 choice, 2 watches....

If you could get the following for exactly the same price, what would it be :-

S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic

OR

T/T Sub Bluesy 16613

Both brand new in box with papers...

Probably the S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic but only after a lot of hesitation.

I'm not a fan of yellow gold so makes my choice really easy. I would go for S/S GMT II 116710 Ceramic!

When you put it that way it makes it seem like a stupid question You would have to have your head examined not to get the bluesy in that situation

I'd probably get the TT Blue Sub, flip it for more (at least try to) and then go back for the ceramic SS GMT.

Bluesy is such a beautiful watch.

What is really neat is to be at a check out counter somewhere or standing in line at the bank and catch someone secretly stealing a peek at it.

The color just jumps out at people!

I need to work on my picture taking:

Hard to say:

Blue TT Sub: rated to 300m, one-of-a-kind gorgeous blue dial with gold accents.

SS GMT: Beautiful ceramic bezel, the new blue Parachrom hairspring (anti-magnetic and reportedly better accuracy rates), dual time zone, better clasp.

While my technical mind sees more watch for the $$ with the GMT, I think the one that would "speak" to me more is the TT Blue Sub.

Best of luck,

C

I would advise you to get TT Sub because of the discount you are getting. Sooner or later the GMT will have discount as well, so it really make sense to get the discounted one now since you really don't have a preference.

Flipped the Bluey to get a Pt/SS YM.

Flipped the YM to get a Daytona.

Flipped the Daytona to get the GMT 18ct.

Rued the loss of the Daytona so got my grail Daytona.

Wife thinks I've spend about £1500 in total.

The mushroom effect, I believe it is known as.
