I know everyone chooses the watch for them for different reasons, for me, I would go for the GMT for three reasons:
1. I travel, and I would use the GMT hand constantly. I have two GMTs and a Sub which I rotate through every Sunday. When I’m traveling while wearing the Sub I always miss the GMT hand.
2. The GMT is harder to get (at least, I believe it is). That alone isn’t a big driver to buy one, but because I very rarely see one worn it’s always a reason for me to ask someone about their watch. In my mind, rarity equals conversation starter, which is appealing to me.
3. I personally like the black and blue combo, it’s sporty and instantly classic. This, ultimately, is how I choose watches, the first two points are just added bonuses.
All that said, I wouldn’t kick the YM out of bed...or, uh, my watch winder.
