Both watches look good but the Submariner ND looks the best.

Luckily the faded gmt is a classic and goes with anything. The sub looks best but by no means is the gmt clashing, it just stands out more.

IMO the black sub or TT would look better. The GMT looks odd with the tats. JMO.

Both the Sub and Coke work well with the tattoos. The Pepsi's colors clash a bit. My two cents.

Yeah I really think black works best for you. The Pepsi colors just sort of get lost in my opinion, as opposed to clashing, with your tattoos.

This comment sums it up for me. Your obviously a fashion conscious guy but don’t sweat either though. They both look good against your artwork.

I prefer orange laces with shoes that colour by the way. I know you didn’t ask that but you can have that one for free lol

Too much? I think it looks great. Both look great really. I don’t think it’s possible for a sports watch to look bad with full sleeves!

Didn’t you have an Explorer II? I think that one looked great with the sleeve being mostly monochromatic with the red GMT hand.

They both look good to me. I think you should get a gold DD40 next though. For some reason I love the way that watch looks with a full sleeve.

The sub looks better I think. It has nothing to do with the tattoos. I am just not a fan of the pepsi.

I agree with this, the sub (unfortunately) looks a little boring against all that wonderful ink....

Now maybe a smurf????

GMT and 'too much' don't belong together. Ever!

Love the ink and the GMT but, IMO, you’ve got a lot going on colour wise and the Pepsi bezel gets a little lost.

The sub on the other hand stands out more by being monochromatic.

Having said that, the LVC looks the best on you of any watch I’ve seen

I think the coke you had looks great against your arm! It works much better than the pepsi.

Thanks man. I just don’t like the LVC as a watch and wouldn’t be able to justify the premium. Green has always been one of my least favourite colours

Becks is black & grey inked though, on his arm the Pepsi would pop more.

I think the pepsi works with AndreJB though.
