Too hard to choose. Need to think about it.

I just don't like the big GMT hand so I voted Smurf. What I'd really like is the BLRO without the GMT hand.

I voted with my wallet.

Because it was a perfectly done blast from the past.

In the end, I went with the BLRO, I could spout off a number of reasons why I picked it over the smurf, but really... I just liked it more, it sang to me.

I'd say this is a pretty good picture as well.

And I prefer BLRO.

I feel like I should put a disclaimer up before I post. I've never been a fan of precious metals being used for traditional "tool" watches. To use 18k WG/RG on a Submariner seems weird TO ME. Ive also always never really liked the PCL on the 1167XX series watches. I personally, would not buy either of them.

With that being said, if I had to choose between the two, I would pick the BLRO. Simply because when the GMT Master originally came out, it was a Red/Blue bezel. Call me old fashioned, but to me, you can't lose to a modern homage to a timeless classic.

Been a bit back and forth on the two, but for my lifestyle and the amount of travel I do I need the GMT more than the depth rating and like the "classic" look of the BLRO.

It will likely be my first PM watch - if I'm lucky!

Nice cake/watch combo!!

I would choose the Smurf. There's something about the tones of the BLRO that doesn't appeal to me.

Tough choice.
