Icon5 TT battle: choose one of these two

Top row or bottom row?



My daughter happily confirmed what I’m dreaming of.



But what do YOU think?

I’d take the GMT. I’m just not a fan of the TT bluesty though. Biased

Exactly the opposite for me, don't like the TT GMT, but for the Bluesy it's a match

CHNR (Rootbeer) is the most gorgeous TT timepiece for Rolex.

I love my Bluesy but a GMT is very functional especially for traveling.

I'm a diver and not a time traveler. I'd go for the sub.

If it was the 116613LV it would be a dead heat for me.

Agree. I already own the 126613LB. The TT Sub LV would also be an interesting config, should Rolex decide to make one. That would be an epic Sub, IMHO.

I had them both, ended up keeping the 126613lb. Both are absolutely stunning watches but I like the color pop more on the Sub. I also have a Pepsi, so the Pepsi satisfies my need for a GMT. The Bluesy works well for me as a more dressier smaller diver, versus my everyday SD43. Either way, cannot go wrong. Go with what speaks to you.

Older 116613LB reference, but you get the point. Hands down bluesy is better

I have both and like both very much; however the bluesy is much more striking in color.

Thanks all for your comments and votes. Great photos, too.

I used to be squarely in the CHNR camp, but with this LB generation’s white text and proportions, I find myself very drawn to the LB in a way I hadn’t before.

I've owned both and still have the Bluesy.
It's a show off kind of watch but I love it

None. 126613LB gets stale very fast IMO, and the GMT has brown, which I don’t like at all as a color. Either go with full gold for both, or the SS variant.

Both really nice watches but the bluesy is the one for me the new white lettering and the dial is one of best IMO
