Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to this forum, though I'm more active over at WUS. Anyway, I'm looking to purchase my first AP. Particularly, one of the new 26470. As I haven't seen one in person and there are no dealers near me, I'm trying to choose based on photos. Basically I'm looking for one I can wear daily. My office is business casual so usually I'm wearing khakis and a button down shirt or polo in the summer months. I'm torn between the navy, the grey/black, and the safari. I've got a BLNR and the blue on it works fine so I'm leaning towards the navy. But the black on my Sub also works in any situation. I'm looking for opinions on which color you think would match the best with my daily attire and office setting plus a more casual setting on the weekends.
Thanks

Color is VERY subjective. That I leave up to your tastes.

And yes, you can wear it everyday no problem.

Look forward to incoming pics.

I guess I'm trying to discern which of the colors are more versatile. Does a certain color fit better in certain situations or will they all work fine all the time?

jjnd08 · 3 July 2015, 12:39 AM

Color is very subjective, and with 1 post, we have no idea of your style.

I would say you would be okay with blue or black as they aren't "loud" colors like a red, orange, or yellow would be.

GB-man · 3 July 2015, 01:03 AM

I like the elephant grey/black

any will do though.

mzmonzon · 3 July 2015, 06:21 AM

The black-red is the more versatile one IMO. You can dress it up with a hornback and dress it down with a rubber. Well of course, unless most of your clothes match navy. I just think the navy won't look too good with a more formal outfit.

Hairdude1 · 3 July 2015, 06:42 AM

I prefer the grey black

Urosfan · 3 July 2015, 07:42 AM

I love the safari my favorite for sure

AK797 · 3 July 2015, 09:03 AM

Grey for me as not so many nice ones around, plenty of nice blue and blacks.

grnman · 3 July 2015, 10:31 AM

Titanium HOT

Thanks for the input guys. Seems like general consensus is any one will work for me. I think I'm gonna go for the navy. It's just calling me 😊Will post some pics when I get it! Thanks.

Chute · 3 July 2015, 01:21 PM

I wear a black GMTc in black (non- BLNR) and it is my daily wearer and goes with everything.
I tried on the gray black and got the same feeling that it too would go with everything.
The size and strap were very nice and would've been a great companion, but I have my sights set on a 15202 Jumbo.

If your BLNR has been fine with respect to color, then the navy surely will be.
Looking forward to the pics of your first AP!!!
The AP finishing and details make them a bit more interesting and special than the GMT and Sub, and the movements are much nicer to look at...

ndrenfro · 6 July 2015, 11:06 AM

So I chose to go with the navy. Arrived in time for the 4th. Here she is. What a beaut!
