While the SS LN and BLNR are nice, the TT does have a nice look. I'd go TT

If I were buying right now I would go stainless, probably the new BLNR model

My first Rolex was a rootbeer, so I'm biased. However, I've got to say, the tt GMT really dresses up nicely while staying sporty looking. This is especially true with a jubilee bracelet.

SS is classic but TT has more impact on the wrist. Win-win! You can't go wrong.

Go with the TT. I've had one for several years now, and I have always loved its looks and presence. Can wear with anything IMHO

I've got a Y-series SS all black GMT-II which is my daily wearer. It's gotten about 95% of my wrist time for the last 10 years or so. So my preference is for SS. The TT looks great on a DJ, but not on a sport watch. That's just my , though.

For my everyday watch, I love my SS GMT. It takes so much abuse and doesn't show wear at all.

TT for me, but that's because the my fiancée won't let me get the full gold yet... Something about having to pay for a wedding first. Wasn't really listening.

Don't depend on this poll to make a decision. It's really 50/50. In my opinion, the TT is more dressy. My SS I can wear with a suit or casual without hesitation. The TT is gorgeous as well. There is no wrong choice.
