This or that?

Stuck between an 116618 or 116619. Would be my primary watch and a daily.

Then there is the 116719 but I don't travel much.

What do the gold owners think? And no I cannot have both.

video i found a while back

116719 gets my vote. But, I'm not a fan of blue watches and find the GMT complication far more useful.

Perhaps this thread needs a poll?

Eliot,

I'm a huge fan of the 116618. It just fits my eye. When I think of PM, that's the one that comes to mind. It's definitely not the shy and retiring type, though.

If you didn't feel comfortable with that much high vis as a daily, then my next pick would be the 719.

Good luck!

One more thought is that you don't need to travel to enjoy a GMT. You can always be drawn to the aesthetic and not change the time.

Between the two Sub options, the 116618 gets my vote. I prefer the colors on it better than the 19.

Regardless of if you travel or not, the GMT wins on looks alone. All great choices to have. I love the bezel colors, function and flatter caseback.

116618 is a beauty and is the most versatile in the list!

Gold sub in blue....it’s just beautiful. That dial is to die for. I would venture to say I love the late model 16618 more than the current ceramic but you can’t go wrong.

You can not make a wrong choice with the watches listed. You have to decide are you a gold or white gold person. Once that is figured out you will have your answer.

Primary and daily, this would be my choice. It's blue, it's got Glidelock, it's gold and it's not in your face. Name:  image.jpg

It is a matter of personal preference and how loud you would like to be. If that is fine with you, as loud as ... well you don’t care, then chose 166618 LB. if you do not want to turn heads onto you and still be colourful then go for 116719 BLRO. Mind you it is out of production and you need to hurry up locating one. And at the end if you need a plain piece solicit for 116619.

I agree with Larry ...
I’d forego and foresake all others in lieu of the 18....
second best would be the 19 smurf even though it’s
Not the sunburst dial...

Btw: I voted for the 116618 of course...

I voted 116618, although for me it would have to be the black dial as a daily.

As a daily, I believe the 619 fits the versatility proposal better, as much as the 618 is a beast in it's own right.

This is my choice:
