Decided I needed a little color in my collection.

Had a few too many margaritas sat and went looking for the GMT black and blue but came out with Hulk, I woke up the next morning with no shirt on and ripped jean shorts lol. kidding Im not Dr David Banner. I have to admit the green really grows on me after a couple of days. I love how the dial plays with the light and almost looks black at times. I was planning on selling the 16610 but if funds permit I may just hold on to it for now as its a very different watch then the 116610 LV and I prefer the black sub with thinner lugs (non C)

I was always apprehensive about the ceramic subs as I felt the lugs are too big compared to the band but it seems to be less distracting with the colors that are not black for some reason. Seems to only bug me with the black although it is still a nice watch.

I really wish they made the blue version in SS as that is my fav color but not going to drop the bank on 18K white gold.Name:  IMG_0843.jpg

I love that Omega DSOTM...I had a chance to see it in person a couple weeks ago and it has the deepest, most beautiful black dial I have ever seen. Great collection!

At first I was regretting not getting the blnb but it looks too much like my 16610 and like the Daytona those polished center links are scratch magnets lol. I realy did need some color in my collection. Miss the poc 9300 blue but it was just too big.

Congrats!

I've said many times Rolex needs a full YG LVC.

The large lugs and small bracelet was one of the reasons that made me flip the LVC.

If they did would you buy it even with the same lugs?

OP, nice collection!

YG is currently out of my price point, and wouldn't really fit in with my crowd or in my office; so whether I buy one or not would be a moot point for quite sometime.

I would really enjoy the pictures of it; like I do now with the LVC!
