Ceramic VS Platinum.........

Which is a better complement to a TT GMTIIC[B]........SS SUB CERAMIC OR SS YM PLATINUM? Getting both would be the best answer but I must space out
my purchase very carefully or else my wife will kill me already.

Another vote for the PT YM....the ceramics would look similar to the untrained eye.

Best of luck with your decision.

Another vote. For the YM!
Can't see much point in having lot's of similar looking watches!
Sub/GMT/deepsea/seadweller all loook virtually the same to me on the wrist!
I much prefer diversity in a collection!

In my opinion... the YM is a nice watch. A stunner especially at first glance. However, I feel that there's too much "silver/grey" there... to me, it gets boring pretty quick.

The SubC is very nice looking and has a bit of variety to the design. Definitely not so monochrome. And I think it's different enough from your TT GMTII.

Just my opinion.

I have had YM for only about a week, but I can tell you that it never gets boring. The dial is just awesome, it looks different based on the lighting, outdoor(in the shade is the best looking for me). I thought it was too much blingy when I wore the first time, but once I started to wear, I cant get it off of my wrist.
