Thanks Larry. I think the GMT is my favourite as well. Not taking anything away from the other two, the green and gold combo just works for me.

For some reason, I feel the suburst blue dial works better for the TT Sub. I may be in the minority on this, but the balance of steel, gold and blue are as close to perfect as possible. I was at the AD this past weekend in hopes all three pieces were in stock, but no luck. All they had was the Everose Gold Datyona with the pink dial I tried on the other week. I have seen all three in person, but ideally would prefer to be able to compare them side by side as I am the type of person who needs to see things up close and in person. The AD's next shipment is towards the end of June. He is going to confirm with me what's on that list.

I'm with Mike on this one.

No argument here on the TT sub...def think you would get more bang for your buck collection adding the GMT to it than flipping it for the all gold sunburst.

Good luck with your decision, my friend...standing by for the incoming!

I owned the YG Blue Subc but eventually I flipped it for the GMTc II green...I found that of the two, the GMT seemed a bit more masculine perhaps because of the black bezel. And I love the classic Rolex green color....Having said all that, I basically could love either one.

I'd go with the sub for sure. I can't appreciate the green dial GMT (the black dial otoh is one of my favorites) and that sunburst dial pops for ages. It's a beauty.

Wow great watches I have very similar tastes

I would vote for the rose Daytona since you already have a sub and gmt
And no rose gold!

You are on a roll my friend. All 3 are nice.
The Daytona sang to me once, it looks splendid on the wrist, but has been quiet recently.
I think you would probably go for the GMTII, Eric.

Thanks, Buddy.

As each day passes, the GMT is becoming more and more appealing.

None of those particularly jump out at me, but I'll go with the GMT.
