Hello everone,

The original Bluesy's dial spoiled me - can't really "like" any of the new blue dials.
So of the two, the GMT appeals to me more so...

Now add a TT Daytona with white arab dial to the mix and we'd have a different discussion!

WOW that is gorgeous. Never notice it before, what a beauty. I think I would trade my GMT for one of those (sorry OP if this confuses you more) .

I have both expect my SUB has diamond markers and I wear my SUB 99% of the time. It screams rolex, love the subtle bling of the diamonds and I love the glide lock clasp

From your choices I'd pick the blue Sub for you just because you already have a GMT.

But I prefer the Sub in SS because it has brushed center links. Generally for TT I prefer the black over the blue, and the GMT over the Sub.

I think a similar thread came up yesterday (but between black dial Sub vs GMT)

I prefer the blue Sub. It is striking in person. I am just not the biggest fan of black on TT.

If you already have a GMT my vote is the Sub, but for TT I prefer the Black to the Blue.

IMO if you are set on buying a TT watch, I would fork over a bit extra and get a TT Daytona from a trusted seller, or get a TT DJ, as you already have the GMT and I'm not partial towards TT Subs.

Both are fantastic! I'm making the same decision and still undecided.

This is a recent picture I took. Hope it helps a bit.
