I am v new to this but that green watch looks amazing. The other one (sorry, am not familiar with models or colours yet) looks really good on your wrist though. Better than the green I think.

If gmt comes out with green dial again, hopefully TT, will buy it. That or how about a bluesy GMT?

I voted green dial in the minority. I love the rootbeer, but the green dial with yellow gold really looks the business! As always, there is no wrong answer in such a scenario.

Green GMT. I forget this exists because you don't see it much.

Green GMT! Tried the root beer recently and it was meh...fun but not timeless like the Green.

I am surprised the RG is running away with this one. That YG GMT is a special watch! Love the flat green dial, very unique. I can't recall any other Rolex having it.

Neither...
Green with black dial and yellow gold? I actually thought this was a frankenrolex...
Not a fan of precious metals (at least yellow gold) or gems on a sport watch..
but that is just one guy's opinion...

I like the rose gold, but the green dial with yellow gold speaks to me more...

Love my CHNR, but have to admit the green looks good.

The green dial with the YG is amazing. I think RG won't age well, from a style perspective. Maybe I'm wrong but YG has a good track record.

Both gorgeous. Very difficult question but the Rootbeer by a very, very narrow margin. Could go either way for me depending on the day and my mood. Buy both!

I would go with the YG GMT with the anniversary green dial, seems more special to me.

Are the lugs on the RG GMT slimmer than the Subs?
