Guys, what should one strive for in terms of a "good deal" on one of these in the US?

I love them both, but not sure what sort of discount these trade at.

Have a look around here and you'll get a good idea of prices.

GMT if for no other reason than it is cheaper, both great models.

I'm no doctor, but it looks to me like you have yellow fever. I'm sorry to tell you that there is no known cure.

Mark. You do have the fever...

What happened to the RG Ceramic Ivory dial Daytona desire?

Dude....I still want the Daytona. But since I've got two RG pieces now with the recent Lange purchase, I wanted to change things up a bit and add a bit of bling to the collection - and a YG rollie just seems to fit the bill.

Problem is which one? Thought about a YG Daytona which would scratch the Daytona itch and cure the yellow fever in one go. But thus far, none of the YG Daytonas have caught my eye. But I reserve the right to change my mind later.

Both are beautiful, but if I had a choice, it would be the green-faced YG GMT

The GMT is the One I'd go for, it looks fantastic. If the sub had a black dial that would be the one hands down.
