Pick your favourite, just for fun.

Only full gold watches, no OF, and from the professional line.

The photos were picked randomly from iG, with the solely purpose of helping out with the poll.

Have fun!

Meteorite GMT.

mjclark32 · 26 July 2019, 05:05 AM

I chose sub, but if I liked/needed a gmt the meteorite dial would have been my choice. What a beauty

Mine also, didn't have a WG piece i truly loved, before seeing this beauty. I think the meteorite dial works flawlessly with the BLRO and that out of space rock is so special when you think about it: age, texture, extraterrestrial, crystalline shimmer, definitely my favourite.

daOnlyBG · 26 July 2019, 05:14 AM

I voted the WG GMT-Master II out of this bunch, but I'd like to add that jeez, the black-dial version was nicer.

The blue dial isn't ugly, but the black gloss contrasted a little more nicely against the WG shine.

Blue Daytona.

peterskinner · 26 July 2019, 05:46 AM

You’re missing a trick...the best white gold models are arguably the ones only available in gold. The DayDate 40; more elegant, more classy and identical to the Professional models in water resistance, durability and ruggedness. Same screw-down crown.

And the bracelet is, to me, in a different league.

The whole ‘professional series’ hero-worship is surely due a serious reappraisal. All the Oyster Perpetuals are tough and resilient. But only the DayDate is sold just in precious metals. To me, if a model is available in steel, that’s its natural home.
And in case you think I’m biased....

Lovely thing, but I prefer my DD40 (just!)

Feel free to forward your pov to Rolex also, i'm not missing anything, i just used their catalogue naming. Obviously the classic line is tough and resilient, my focus however was towards the professional line. Bet you thought SkyD was special because it wasn't available in SS for years, yet no harm once it happened.

jvb.nc · 26 July 2019, 08:12 AM

literally in agony awaiting delivery of my 126719blro meteorite.

and i worship at the altar of professional models and fully intend to wear it daily.

:D

AK797 · 26 July 2019, 08:31 AM

GMT Blue, until I see the Meteorite up close.

Subconscious · 26 July 2019, 08:35 AM

Meteorite

HL65 · 26 July 2019, 08:37 AM

I love the BLRO with blue dial and can see that in my collection shortly. I also love the meteorite so you never know but just wonder if novelty of dial would wear off on me.

GMT BLRO blue dial

Mr.Rolex1 · 26 July 2019, 10:04 AM

I would have voted Sky-Dweller if given the option

Its a big watch with oyster bracelet so I consider it a professional watch

in production models. There's no WG SkyD available anymore.

rominvicta · 26 July 2019, 03:05 PM

GMT meteorite by far!

subtona · 26 July 2019, 03:26 PM

Sub

watchwatcher · 26 July 2019, 10:38 PM

I voted for the BLRO meteorite, but the BLRO blue and Daytona blue would both be millimeters away. Not to mention I haven't seen a meteorite in the flesh.

Ichiran · 27 July 2019, 12:06 AM

rw2008 · 27 July 2019, 12:21 AM

Navy dial BLRO is stunning in person

TimeToWatch · 27 July 2019, 12:35 AM

I know you said FULL WG, but I’m going with the 116519LN anyway. It’s far more aesthetically pleasing than any of these models.

For me, it’s the WG BLRO with the blue dial. I just think it’s perfect and has a complication I’d use.

schoolboy · 27 July 2019, 03:10 AM

I’m between 2 and 6

I feel like the dial on 6 is such a classy and timeless design

I can’t help but wonder why John Mayer pocked the blue dial WG Daytona as a potential good investment (i don’t remember how he worded it) instead is this one

The YG Green Dial, I can see why, but with the Blue dial, although it is nice, i would argue that this steel dial WG Daytona might age better

Dougiebaby · 27 July 2019, 03:31 AM

I would choose blue dial GMT. When I purchased my Batman the store had a Smurf I tried on ... wow, that is one heavy watch! It seemed (easily) 2X as heavy as the BLNR on jubilee.
